NEWINGTON, N.H., (March 7, 2025) – The P320 CANNOT, under any circumstances, discharge without a trigger pull – that is a fact. The allegations against the P320 are nothing more than individuals seeking to profit or avoid personal responsibility.
Recently, anti-gun groups, members of the mainstream media, trial attorneys, and other uninformed and agenda-driven parties have launched attacks on one of SIG SAUER’s most trusted, most tested, and most popular products – the P320 pistol. In all cases, these individuals have an ulterior motive behind their baseless allegations that the P320 can fire without a trigger pull; they have no evidence, no data and no empirical testing to support any of their claims. They instead choose to misrepresent clear, negligent discharges as a “design problem.”
In the decade since its introduction, the P320 has undergone the most rigorous testing and evaluation of any firearm, by military and law enforcement agencies around the world. It consistently delivers a proven record of performance and reliability through state-of-the-art engineering, and documented quality control at every stage of its production.

Claims that unintended discharges are anything more than negligent handling and/or manufactured lies to support an anti-gun, anti-SIG agenda are false. Furthermore, lawsuits claiming that the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being pulled have been dismissed in courtrooms around the country. In addition, multiple plaintiffs’ so-called experts have conceded, it is not possible for the P320 to discharge unless the trigger is fully actuated.
The rhetoric is high, and we can no longer stay silent while lawsuits run their course, and clickbait farming, engagement hacking grifters continue their campaign to highjack the truth for profit. Enough is enough. From the courts of law to the court of public opinion we will combat the lies and misinformation with the truth. SIG SAUER stands behind the quality, safety, and design of all our products – especially the P320.
Industry, take notice; what’s happening today to SIG SAUER with the anti-gun mob and their lawfare tactics will happen tomorrow at another firearms manufacturer, and then another. Today, for SIG SAUER – it ends.

The truth according to an Sig press release…which should be presented here as such. Anyway, their lost court cases and payouts to injured shooters say otherwise.
I carried different P320 models for 7 years in .40S&W(Carry) and.45ACP.(Full size) NEVER had a problem. When they said the P320 wasn’t drop safe, I erred on the side of caution and decided to take advantage of SIG’s free upgrade program anyway. (And no, neither pistol had the thumb safety.) I found it to be very reliable and never had any malfunctions. I stayed away from re-loaded ammo. My holsters were kydex and covered the trigger guard. No issues when drawing and firing during qualifications. If I hadn’t retired, I would still carry a P320. I was especially impressed by its modularity. Later bought a caliber exchange kit for 9mm and Sig Romeo red dot.

Still not buying a Sig P320
Translation: We got a good tasted of that sweet, sweet government contract money and we aren’t giving it up without a fight no matter who or how many people are injured or killed by our greed.
I like this completely objective review without any facts or evidence. I’m sure your rep a Sig spent a lot of time writing this article for you! These types of articles do more harm to the firearms industry than possibly anything else. You skip the facts to promote products which you draw a profit from. There are no photos of the fire control mechanism, demonstrations, or even engineering knowledge. Guns carried with the striker or hammer back will always have a greater risk of unintentional discharges than those that don’t. Mechanical things malfunction, fail, and flat-out break by very definition. Speaking in absolutes without addressing the nuance and facts of the issue is a surefire way to always be wrong. I’m not reading your platform anymore, and I sincerely hope you start realizing the benefits of speaking with intellectual integrity over prioritizing profits. No progress will be made in the industry if we can’t admit or even examine the flaws and evidence at hand.

This is just the regurgitated Sig press release that came out days ago.
