    SIG SAUER Issues Voluntary Upgrade of P320 Pistol

    Published Date: 08/08/2017

    P320 pistol meets requirements for industry and government safety standards; performance enhancements optimize function, safety, and reliability.
    Newington, NH (August 8, 2017) – The P320 meets U.S. standards for safety, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Sporting Arms Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI®), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), as well as rigorous testing protocols for global military and law enforcement agencies.
    The design of the SIG SAUER P320 overcomes the most significant safety concern in striker-fired pistols today: the practice of pressing the trigger for disassembly. This can be performed with a round in the chamber which has resulted in numerous incidents of property damage, physical injury, and death. The disassembly process of the P320, however, uses a take-down lever rather than pressing the trigger, eliminating the possibility of discharge during the disassembly process.
    Recent events indicate that dropping the P320 beyond U.S. standards for safety may cause an unintentional discharge.

    As a result of input from law enforcement, government and military customers, SIG has developed a number of enhancements in function, reliability, and overall safety including drop performance. SIG SAUER is offering these enhancements to its customers. Details of this program will be available at sigsauer.com on Monday,

    August 14, 2017.
    The M17 variant of the P320, selected by the U.S. government as the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS), is not affected by the Voluntary Upgrade.
    “SIG SAUER is committed to our approach on innovation, optimization, and performance, ensuring we produce the finest possible products,” said Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER. “Durability, reliability and safety, as well as end-user confidence in the SIG SAUER brand are the priorities for our team.”

    A cop already got shot in Connecticut earlier in the year. It's a train wreck. Apparently they knew about it, Bruce Gray involved who has now gone dark, lawsuits flying around, and they are all trying to brush out. So their use of the words "voluntary upgrade" is quite funny.

    If they just used the real word "recall", I'd have more respect for them. Instead, they used a euphemism that everyone sees through and knows to be a weasel word.
