DirtDiver31 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I have about 100 rounds through mine so far. If you're a Sig guy, you'll love the p320. The trigger feels 'Sig' despite the handgun being striker-fired; it's far better than a stock Glock or M&P trigger. I also like that I can switch between my MK25, M11-A1, and the p320 and NOT feel like it's a totally different handgun.

alma Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Anyone have any idea what loads he was shooting?Factory 115 gr WBW. My goal for this week is to get out to the range and testing the combination of riding a finger in the front of the trigger guard while riding a thumb on the takedown lever. It certainly feels like it provides a lot of leverage and seems to work for Yong. Edited February 16, 2015 by alma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly feels like it provides a lot of leverage and seems to work for Yong. Great catch on the Technique. I remember Jerry Miculek saying the same thing about keeping a finger in front of the trigger guard when he shoots "these lighter polymer guns." Here's the video, He's got some great slow motion footage showing the difference in recoil between that and bad technique against a grid. I noticed I have been putting my thumb on the takedown lever, too, but have never done the combination of that with the finger in front of the trigger guard. Alma, you won't be the ONLY one working on that this week my friend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick238 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I got out and rented a full size 320 today and shot 50 rounds though it. I found the take down lever was kind of in the way. Anyone else feel this way and where do you put your hand on the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else feel this way and where do you put your hand on the frame? I ride my thumb on the takedown lever now. It works a bit like a thumb rest on a limited gun if you do it right. This week I am actually messing around with wrapping my left hand index finger on the front of the trigger guard. Doing that in combination with riding my thumb on the takedown feels like I can get some very good leverage on the gun. Looking forward to testing that out in live fire later this week.

The ones that I have seen announced so far are all Compact sized guns. There may have been more shown at Shot but didn't make it out this year. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/11/06/sig-sauer-releases-p320-skus-2015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like it could work. I also forgot to ask about the slide locking back on an empty mag. This was a rental gun and I'm not sure how old it was so maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway the slide never locked back on an empty mag, it would lock back if I racked the slide. Is this common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this common? With a lot of Sigs, this is often caused by the shooter (unintentionally) riding the slide catch lever with their thumb, preventing it from moving upwards under magazine spring pressure. It doesn't take much to make that happen. When most people rack the slide, they pay more attention to thumb placement. A sure way to eliminate the possibility is to shoot the gun left handed and see if it locks back on an empty mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very common, especially with Sigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick238 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I was wondering if it could have been where my hand was positioned. I did shoot one mag with 5 rounds in it left handed and that also failed to lock back. But the slide release is ambi so I suppose my left thumb could have caused the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Forgot that the 320 is ambi. Scrap the left-handed idea. Shoot it with your thumbs noticeably off the frame and that should tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just got back from the in door range. It was my first time shooting my second full-sized P320 which arrived last week from Bruce Gray's shop. I normally ride the takedown lever and tonight tried the finger on the trigger guard as well. I think it showed slightly more control and less muzzle flip. I have pivothead video comparing both styles but haven't had time to assess in detail. Since getting the new grip was slowing down my draw a bit and since I felt like my standard grip gave me good control of the P320 I finished off my practice session using my standard grip which rides the takedown lever but doesn't put a finger of the front of the trigger guard. I will continue to investigate this but for now I am satisfied with what I had been doing. In other news, tonight I shot the fastest Bill Drill that I have shot in my entire life. With P320's stock trigger it was tough for me to get splits much below .19. Tonight, with the GGI enhanced P320 I was able to get splits in the .15 range. The total time was 1.68 with a draw of .83 and splits of .20, .15, .17, .18, and .15 with one Charlie. The gun doesn't get all the credit. I have been working hard at dry fire over the off season and started "scooping" out of the holster for hands at sides draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay1 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hmmm, getting a little SIG fever so... I´ve looked on the Ipsick PD list. There stands a "P320 Nitron" which tells me nothing. Does anybody know, if the P320 is Ipsick PD-legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know, if the P320 is Ipsick PD-legal? Bases on that entry on the IPSC Production gun list I would say that the SIG P320 is legal. Looks like barrel lengths, weight, caliber, or other specifics aren't calling out besides being the one with the Nitrate finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 question: how many of you guys that are raving about these guns got one for free (or subsidized), and how many are actually paying money for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Since October I have bought two on my own dime along with purchasing additional magazines, Springer Precision basepads and grip tape, 5 large grip frame modules, 3 holsters, 5 mag pouches, Heinie and Dawson sights, GGI replacement guide rod, 1911 recoil springs, and assorted other accessories in addition to sending money to Bruce for pistol work. By my math the other day I have around $2,400 personally invested in the P320 platform so far so I feel okay sharing what I like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimH Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My wife purchased mine as a Christmas present for me and sent it to Bruce for tuning. I own mine. I feel great sharing about mine as well. Anyone who knows me, knows I shoot Sig products and have for almost as long as I've been shooting. It doesn't take a sponsorship, free guns, subsidizing, etc. for me to share what I like and why I like it. It's been blatantly obvious with me for a long time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'd love to try the P320 some time soon. Unfortunately, I have invested quite a bit on the CZ platform already. Hopefully, one of my shooting buddies will get one and let me shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
