Shot a friend’s, liked it. Bought new years ago, remember I sent it back for the recall, never shot it. Truthfully I put it away and forgot about it. So the question is, with all the safety talk about this gun, is it safe to use and possibly carry? Or should I part ways with it?
Even with the Recall it can still occur. I won’t carry one and I have a P320 Subcompact. Been relegated to range toy status.
Thanks
Mine is a range gun only now as well. It is only loaded when I am holding it and it is emptied/unloaded before I put it down again.
I’m sure it is a very small percentage that fire uncommanded, but it is not zero. I don’t trust it and I don’t trust the way Sig has been handling the issue.

Mine is relegated to a range gun as well. Too many other good options out there that I trust to carry a P320 loaded. Mine is probably fine, but I know that my Glocks don’t have this issue.

Thank you all, that’s the way I was leaning. Once the trust issue entered the mind it’s was over, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overthinking it.
Yep - Given that there’s a non-zero chance of mechanical failure causing a ND due to a combination of poor design/parts tolerance issues, it’s relegated to range gun/tinker gun status.
I’ll likely start playing around with different chassis etc like the Flux Raider - can drop it in and get another slide/barrel and play around with it.

Mine is bedside gun. Even though I think there’s a lot of human error involved, I won’t carry it. Not a big fan of striker pistols even though my EDC is a 365X Macro. Only 2 strikers I own.
I think I’m going with the majority of it being a range gun only, unloaded and empty when not aimed down range.
If I’m not going to carry it, don’t think I wanted loaded next to my bed at night or during the day.
Thanks for the thread. I have the p320xc with upgrades so didn’t want to sell right away when all of the noise started. Have been using it at only at range and considering ways to convert it with an ftermarket chassis system. The short slide does not fit many of them so any suggestions are appreciated.
I have thousands of rounds through my P320 full size and P320 compacts. I carried my P320 compacts until I I got the P365-X and X-Macro, which are now my every day carry pistols. Occasionally I’ll carry one of my P320 compacts in 40 S&W or 357 Sig. That’s just me. A lot of the cases were holster related, and user error. Plenty of people carry Glock’s despite the history of Glock leg. You have to do what is comfortable for you.
