News USAA guard shack P320 uncommanded discharge

Aside from the “news articles” anyone here ever
Physically experienced a self discharge of the p320 platform? I don’t believe the hype regarding the P320…. I practically handle and dropped mine and never an issue? Now one thing with mine it is a x5… but they all have the same trigger group… so any body…. All I have heard about it are second hand and 3rd hand stories….

PS asking actual p320 owners not a friend of a friend stories

You may not hear from anyone, out of the few threads on the topic, no one has ever mentioned it actually happening to them. I'm sure if it had we would have already heard from them or they would have started their own threading talking about what happened. Everyone gets to decide if 2nd hand stories and news articles warrant concern. I don't have one, but if I did I would also be setting it aside or only using it in a controlled environment at the range.

The Springfield Glock 19 Echelon Compact is here in stores! I handled one in two stores this past week. It feels nice in the hand and needs no new sights or trigger. Once we get Duncan v. Bonta resolved in our favor (which it will), then I'll pick up one with 15 round mags. I liked the Glock 17 full sized version too.

The S&W M&P M2.0 Compact has been available in CA for awhile now. You can get one today!

Yeah I know the mp is, I was going check out the echelon 4.0 before I make my decision. It will likely be the 4.0 tho
 
I like my 320 but also won’t carry it. Range only. I’ve tired to make it dry fire without a round. No UD yet. Mine is only a few years old and wasn’t in the upgrade sieral range. Maybe these UDs are all older or more worn guns?

If safety is on, I presume it dont go off on its own like the other ones?

I thought someone mentioned here before that the manual safety on the P320 prevents the trigger from moving, and does not block the striker in any way. So depending on what is actually causing the uncommanded discharges, it may or may not help.

Protraband has a great video on this if you want to really get into the weeds. Unfortunately even with a manual safety, I would not necessarily suggest carrying it. Really informative video:
P320 Defective

Great video…. So basically if you have over 4k rounds through then a inspection of the sear, safety locking pin and spring is in order…. To see this wear that he is pointing out…. I personally would inspect it every 1000 rounds just to see how and where the wear is taking place if at all.
 
Interesting interview with Ben Stoeger that includes some p320 comments. p320 stuff is at 1:24 but the whole interview is pretty entertaining.
