Wouldn’t be surprised if the problem mysteriously goes away in the hands of people who aren’t LEO.

Coincidentally, the new LEO handgun will have the same problem.

Nah the 320 has been proven beyond a doubt to fire for basically no reason. Sig, while claiming there was no problem, just randomly decided to offer a "voluntary" upgrade for the trigger assembly for no cost!

If you can stomach a whole guntube video, Brandon Herrera covers the drama in depth.

What this means is there's a good chance these cops are selling known defective guns to the public.

If the trigger is a full fix that's a pretty good deal. Sure, I'll RMA your shit for a steep discount.
