For all those out there who do not understand the term “Gaslighting;” SIGs handling of this is the perfect example.

As far as “Sellers” there is, lolI didn't know there was such a thing as a "P320 Market".
Buyers, not so much.The market for all guns is extremely soft nation wide. Unless it’s a unicorn that you won’t find at a LGS, it ain’t selling for anything but bottom dollar right now.
I definitely would never buy a SIG P320, I especially would have never purchased one thinking I was going to make or even recoup money on it.
Unless you have an off roster Glock to sell, the chances are low of someone making their money back on a Polymer Striker Fire Pistol in CA. Anywhere else in free America a used Glock is worth less than what ever a buyer paid for it new.
The only guns I have ever made a steep profit on are off roster, no longer in production older generation Colt 1911’s and Snake Guns. German Made SIG Sauers (Classic P Series), Swiss Made SIG P210’s, all steel HK Pistols (P7’s), and select custom guns that would fetch top dollar anywhere in the country. LNIB to NIB Condition. Nothing beat to
. I have only found these guns offline, it is rare if ever to see them listed anywhere in CA. They are usually stashed away in a safe, un-used, by old men who bought them decades ago. If one is presented to me, I 99% of the time buy knowing the value is only going to go up.Surprisingly, the guns with the least return in my experience have been high end 2011’s and boutique precision rifles. The initial cost for premium models is already steep. And people just assume buy new if they are not going to get a stellar deal. Rightfully so thinking in my opinion. I stopped buying them as a result.
Also, I have learned over time, that the market for expensive high end guns is not that large. Unless you have access to people with means, selling high end guns, especially on the internet, is an exercise in futility. The rare occasions I have offered up higher end guns online I always receive low ball offers to ridiculous trade offers like used rusted out generators, used wheels, grandpas shotgun, pocket change with lent. It has made me hesitant to offer up anything outside of those I associate myself with. Selling guns online comes with a lot of BS people. I do buy and sell privately, and because of the quality of the guns I PPT I max out my 5 for the calendar year with relative ease without ever having to list them online and deal with nonsense. I only sell guns that sell themselves. I’m just not a that good of a salesman. I never will be.

Ah, the moment of truth has arrived!
I have a couple of S&W revolvers I cherish a lot. Plus 2 semis that seem to be more practical for defensive purposes.
Beyond that, I am maxed with 4 handguns.
I never owned and never will own a polymer gun. Period.

I am neither seller nor buyer. it squares for me.As far as “Sellers” there is, lol
I find the issue incredibly embarrassing and outright shameful.
Be sure folks, I will never even blink at a SIG.

When they first came out I wanted a P320. Most of my Sigs are older West German era. It seems like anytime I see aftermarket accessories for Sigs, its for the newer models like the P320 and P365. A lot of people are going to suffer financially before this is over.

Didn’t the FBI report just come out saying it’s a death trap and banned it from service?
Sorry, ICE banned it after FBI report.

I have read it, it’s inconclusive in that the initial tests which caused the striker to drop and fire the primer were determined to be flawed by Sig. The two then designed a rig both agreed to use for testing and the gun did not fire even when the sear was tripped.

Maybe try the report not posted on Sigs own Website.
I’ve never owned one. I bet the guy who recently blew his junk off with his P320 holstered AIWB is regretting that he did. Hard Pass on the 320 for this guy.

I own a sig and have had friends who had theirs go boom. I don't think the uncommanded discharge thing is a thing. It's likely the result of a combination of things, but the most common point being out of battery detonation and a flawed trigger due to a lack of a safety mechanism.
Sig definitely botched the handling of the situation but the gun itself was an innovation for its time. Hopefully they take the L for this and go back to the design room and build in the proper safety's.
The FCU concept is unique but definitely has its flaws.

No, I read the entire FBI report. I am a bit pedantic when it comes to stuff like this. I read everything, reports, court rulings, studies, position papers, cereal boxes, footnotes; if it’s printed, I read it. It comes from having spent my 20’s in academia before I got a real job.Maybe try the report not posted on Sigs own Website.
