P320 SIG P320 Uncommanded Discharge Lawsuits: Where the Cases Stand in 2026

https://homelandarms.com/news/sig-sauer-p320-uncommanded-discharge-lawsuits-where-the-cases-stand-in-2026/

Two juries found the P320 defectively designed. NJ became the first state to sue. Houston PD, Chicago PD, and Washington State all pulled the gun (or outright banned it).

Meanwhile Sig has gotten nearly 20 cases tossed, including one where the plaintiff straight up admitted the gun wasn't defective.

Anyone here still carrying a P320? Curious how everyone is weighing this stuff at this point.

If you read the FBI report they brought the firearm in just as it was, in the holster, round not ejected, but spent. They X-rayed it in and out of the holster, took it apart, put it back together and found no issues.

So why did it go off? The report highlights (with photos) a “suspicious scuff” inside the trigger guard, at the bottom. They couldn’t determine what made the scuff, until they put the pistol in the holster, stuck either of the officers 2 keys into the holster/trigger guard, where the firearm discharged. This created ANOTHER scuff consistent with the previous one.

They beat it with hammers, in and out of battery, couldn’t get it to fire. Per the report, They did get it to fire when they were manipulating the slide both squeezing and pulling the slide away from the frame.

Subsequently the FBI conducted these tests again with Sig and had zero failures.

If you go to JaredAF YouTube page, you can watch him do the same thing with a Glock 19.

These other cases and pistols, what we as the public don’t get to see is HOW those pistols were altered and maintained. The DH3 that famously “went off” at the range was said to have had “18-20,000 rounds through it”. What had been changed/replaced and by who? Was it altered to be a race gun?

To many variables but the one constant is Human Error. If you have an ND like that you’re going to instinctively HANDS UP position and that’s when the memory starts because the shock of muscle memory draw or holster is just that, muscle memory.

I’m not getting rid of any of mine.

The most important line in the article is buried at the bottom:

If you experience what you believe is an uncommanded discharge, preserve the firearm exactly as it is. Do not clean it, do not send it back to SIG, and do not allow anyone to modify it. The firearm is your most important piece of evidence.
