Sig P365 XL Major Trigger Malfunction

Sanders · 10-26-2022, 12:40 PM

This on the heels of another video where a guy at a practical pistol shooting tournament had his Sig 320 go off in his holster. He was lucky the bullet hit his pocket knife and then into the dirt.

I know a lot of you guys carry the Sig pistols. Be careful.

My Sig P320 fired on its own in the holster and tried to shoot me! (P320 X-Five)

My wife and I each carry a Sig P365XL. I have probably 1200 rounds through mine, my wife has probably 700 through hers. We haven't experienced anything like this with either handgun. They have both ran flawlessly.

The lives of experienced gun users, who are suing Sig Sauer, Inc., were “upended” by
the company’s “dangerously defective pistol,” a complaint filed Nov. 30 in federal court
in New Hampshire states (sic).

Twenty plaintiffs named in the lawsuit became gunshot victims when their own Sig
Sauer P320 Pistol fired unexpectedly, without the trigger ever being touched, according
to the complaint representing the plaintiffs nationwide.

How is this different from Glock Leg?

Glock leg requires actual pressure on the trigger. Sig leg doesn't.

Sigs are decent guns but I think they have traded quantity for quality.

I never cared for the 365 SIG,or their 320 model. Cheap.

Everybody knows guns just “go off “ all the time.

That top video, I’m not going to say he was faking it. Might be that grip wrap he has is interfering with the slide returning to full battery, and his shaking helps it reach the end. Don’t know, and I’ll wait to hear what Sig does for repair.

What I do know is that it took me about 5 tries to mimic what he was doing by just pulling the trigger until it was about to break, and then give it a shake while pulling the trigger. Looked just like the video, except I was dry firing.

I don’t know if that’s true. Not seen any evidence one way or the other at this point. Just claims made, just like the original “Glock leg” sufferers claimed they didn’t touch triggers either.

That too video, I’m pretty sure you can induce that problem after I properly reassembling following full field strip and FCU removal. What happens is the striker block gets bound up. Inertia from throwing it back and forth or shaking can free it enough to fire. The fix? Disassemble and properly reassemble.

There was a follow up video this guy put out, where he claimed he was "vindicated" because Sig did a repair.

What he failed to mention in the first video - He bought the gun USED.

Also, he showed the repair ticket. It had one line for his description of the problem, and then the repair comment of "Replaced FCG".

What's missing? Anything about "found problem", or "was able to replicate shake fire" or anything else. The fact that the tech replaced the entire fire control group is telling. It suggests that the smith at Sig couldn't find an issue, but knew this guy would whine if something didn't get repaired, so he replaced everything that could be causing an issue.
