07-23-2025 The Quest has banned the Sig Sauer P320
 
Several law enforcement agencies, aspects of the Secret Service, firearms instructors and training academies have banned the Sig Sauer P320 handgun due to safety concerns, specifically the potential for unintended discharge. The Quest has banned it as well.
 
Key points about the bans and concerns:
  • Unintended discharges:
The primary concern is that the P320 can discharge without the trigger being pulled, often due to bumping, dropping, or holstering. This has caused countless injuries and fatalities.

Here's what is known about Sig P320 discharge incidents:
  • Lawsuits and Reports of Injuries: Numerous lawsuits and reports allege the P320 can discharge without the trigger being pulled. Over 100 people claimed their P320 discharged unexpectedly, with at least 80 gunshot wounds sustained.
  • Deaths: At least three deaths have been linked to alleged unintentional discharges of the Sig P320. The latest being a U.S. Airforce Airman out of F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming on July 20th, 2025

Sig Sauer's response:
Sig Sauer has stated that the P320 is safe when used as intended and with proper training. However, the company has faced criticism and scrutiny regarding the safety concerns. 
 
Sig Sauer states “The P320 CANNOT, under any circumstances, discharge without a trigger pull – that is a fact. The allegations against the P320 are nothing more than…..”  https://www.sigsauer.com/p320-truth
 
As you know, this is not the case. Safety is our number one concern. There will be no exceptions. If you have planned on using this model at The Quest, please make other arrangements.
 
Thank you in advance,
Brian, Scott and AJ
