Newington, NH (August 8, 2017) \u2013 The P320 meets U.S. standards for safety, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) \/ Sporting Arms Ammunition Manufacturers\u2019 Institute, Inc. (SAAMI\u00ae), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), as well as rigorous testing protocols for global military and law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
The design of the SIG SAUER P320 overcomes the most significant safety concern in striker-fired pistols today: the practice of pressing the trigger for disassembly. This can be performed with a round in the chamber which has resulted in numerous incidents of property damage, physical injury, and death. The disassembly process of the P320, however, uses a take-down lever rather than pressing the trigger, eliminating the possibility of discharge during the disassembly process.<\/p>\n
Recent events indicate that dropping the P320 beyond U.S. standards for safety may cause an unintentional discharge.<\/p>\n
As a result of input from law enforcement, government and military customers, SIG has developed a number of enhancements in function, reliability, and overall safety including drop performance. SIG SAUER is offering these enhancements to its customers. Details of this program will be available at sigsauer.com<\/a> on Monday, August 14, 2017.<\/p>\n The M17 variant of the P320, selected by the U.S. government as the U.S. Army\u2019s Modular Handgun System (MHS), is not affected by the Voluntary Upgrade.<\/p>\n \u201cSIG SAUER is committed to our approach on innovation, optimization, and performance, ensuring we produce the finest possible products,\u201d said Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER. \u201cDurability, reliability and safety, as well as end-user confidence in the SIG SAUER brand are the priorities for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information on SIG SAUER, please visit us at sigsauer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n SIG SAUER, Inc.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n SIG SAUER, Inc. is The Complete Systems Provider\u2122, leading the industry in American innovation, ingenuity, and manufacturing.
