Yes, the real sig that was adopted by the US army had a 1911 style safety. But the commercial model without the safety was subsequently adopted by many american police forces, this is when the first incident happened, but still wasn't acknowledged by sig until 6 months later. If you drop a stock sig p320 on the back end of the slide, the trigger will actually get pulled by gravety and the gun will go off. Some people even got their p320s to go off by hitting the back of the slide with a rubber mallet. The competition and ninjafied models had lighter triggers (the trigger is physically lighter) and weren't plagued with this issue. Essentially now, sig hasn't recalled the pistol despite having several court cases involving police officers dropping their guns (while in holsters) and shooting themselves. They have at least offered to fix it for those who want to through their RMA system. Sig still however is denying that it's a major issue that necessitates a recall. It does take a very specific angle to drop the gun and have it set off, but there's no reason it should go off when dropped at all. Anyway, this gun looks cool and I do like the p320 despite sig sucking currently (the new sign 365 compact 9mm has some major striker drag issues that would break the tip off your striker within 400 rounds. Sig quietly changed the striker design even though they haven't acknowledged the issue and the "new" version of the gun still drags the striker all the way across the primer, practically pinching it over brass, so who knows if it will still destroy strikers) so hopefully the gun will be cool.

Wow !! Thanks for the information, that sucks for the poor people who shot themselves. Hopefully they get compensated. I do really like the look of the pistol from WE especially the steel inner frame. Seems like they really put effort into it. I actually can't wait for this release. Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, It's on the box for my fns 9 and apparently they will fix replace your pistol if needs be. Wow!! Sorry for the double tap!! Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 While I am happy to see WE doing this, it is sad the SIG quality has fallen to such a low level of quality control. I had a P225, P220 (with old style mag release) and P226 many years ago and they were high quality firearms and I shot them well (especially the P225). Thanks for the info on the warranty on the FNS 9 as that just put it in the top spot for my next purchase. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Pretty sure that is a European Cybergun warranty though. Not sure it applies in the US. Link to post Share on other sites

Beeingmyself Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Shouldn't it be called the M17 The P320 don't have the safty on the slide Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's not called anything right now except "New P Series pistol" 😛 But Sig Sauer are bringing out a commercial version of the M17 to the market called P320 M17 so. Hmmm... I guess I prefer the version without the safety, hopefully since the chassi is modular WE will release many different versions and kits for this. Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 @uscmCorps has one of those chassis, pretty sure he kisses it every night he loves it so much, the big weirdo. Why is it all GBB pistols seem to use the rear spigot design of the Hi-Power (firearm, not bbpew) on their recoil spring guides? I see it bloody everywhere. Although maybe it's a better idea than the stupid way the weak springs just barely stay put in their cut-outs underneath a lot of GBB Glock OBs. Link to post Share on other sites
CZFan Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 this is the first new model ive been excited about in a long time.. its now almost october.. and still nothing and they use the same design because china can only copy. they never innovate. 2nd reason is if it works, why bother with it. keeps costs down Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Gen5 Glock will be released before the end of this year; G19X will be released later. 40 minutes ago, CZFan said: this is the first new model ive been excited about in a long time.. its now almost october.. and still nothing It actually takes a lot of time to fine-tune the tooling required to make the frames, etc. before production. And then there's also time required before the products can be manufactured, packaged and shipped to your local retailers. Just because pictures/videos of a "functioning" product ("functioning" in quotations applied because they might be cherry-picking what they're showing you, a lot of issues that they might've found with the first sample will definitely not be shown to you in any of the images or videos released) was released back in July doesn't mean it'll be released within a few months from the product debut on social media. The factory will also need a minimum order quantity of 1,000 pcs or so before they can go to production; WE I'm sure will need to secure some 70-80% of that order before they will release it, otherwise it will eat into their revenue if they have to stock up on a significant amount of inventory. Plus, it's not like the Glock' gonna be easy to push to their distributors especially since Umarex has the Glock licence. 40 minutes ago, CZFan said: because china can only copy. they never innovate. I'm sure many Taiwanese people will like to have a word with you about the difference between PRC (which you seem to be implying; it's a false narrative you're pushing nonetheless) vs Taiwan, where WE and their factories are located.

NonEx Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 WE just posted this on Facebook regarding the new WE Sig Sauer P320/M17 pistols: Quote We would like to announce, owing to various business consideration and inability to reach mutual business operational agreement, we will suspend the cooperation with SIG SAUER on manufacturing and selling full trade-mark M17 6mm airsoft pistol, until further agreement has been compromised. Although we are disappointed about the suspension of cooperation, our team are determined to honor our commitment to the market and will continuously striving for new products development and professional service to serve our worldwide customers. Not sure if that is stopping the product entirely, or just the licensed markings on them 😐 Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Definitely reads like just the trademarked version IMO - otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned trades at all. Link to post Share on other sites

icolater Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hope they do get released, just because of the steel inners, not a fan of the aesthetics of the p230 though, but the steel removable inner frame is a great idea!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or Sig realised that WE would be selling unmarked versions out of the back door and went to an OEM that doesn't do that Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Well I guess this explains why WE didn't get the license. Im just afraid it's gonna be something crappy. On their press release page they are showing the airgun version: I hope they didn't just convert it to airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
