Sig P320 drop test.

Not another tread on the 320 drop test. I’ll pass.

Naw, I am sure some might be interested. It’s a can a worms not worth opening again. Besides it’s sunny and 32 degrees. I am heading outside while it’s warm. i didn’t mean anything bad. just feel the horse is already dead.

Why is it so difficult to simply avoid dropping your gun?

I don't care that the airbags in my truck are defective, I don't plan on hitting anything anyway!

I believe the drop problem was addressed. They have moved on to new ways to make guns fire without the trigger being pulled.

Certainly, the "firearm shown" does not have the P-320 upgrade. Just not possible after the upgrade to have such an event.

If you havent dropped a gun, you likely will at some point, especially if you're handling a lot of them all the time. Its something you try your best to avoid, but crap happens to the best of us, no matter how careful you try to be. Just do your best to keep it to a minimum.

Constantly handling loaded firearms is even more of a challenge and one you really need to fight becoming complacent with and about. Constant "proper" daily handling helps reinforce things, if you're consistent and diligent at working at it and don't allow yourself to become too comfortable with it. Checking and inspecting your gear on a daily basis at the same time to make sure everything is good, is a part of this as well.

And that said, no matter how hard you try to do your best, crap happens. The only suggestion I have there if it does is, DONT TRY AND CATCH IT! Just let it go and your chances will be a lot better. Unless its a SIG P320, then all bets are off.

I once dropped a freshly loaded Colt Commander to the kitchen floor as I was loading it. Dropped the slide on a loaded mag and lost control of the gun before the safety was set. Totally my fault too and no idea how I let it go, but there it went, 3' to the linoleum floor. Luckily, it didn't go off.

I just wish I had a video of the girly scream and little dance I was doing for the 30 minutes (felt like it anyway ) it took for it to fall the 3' to the floor.

As with anything, never say never. The more you do, the higher your chances are that something will.

So frequent equates to invalid? Yes, it's several years old, but the question is did they fix it or even acknowledge it by now?

Shouldn't you know by now??

No, a six year old video posted as if were news, isn't news and you could have verified that five years ago.
