Did they let you holster a loaded gun?

Yes. The course was specifically for learning to safely draw, present, fire and re-holster within the rules of my club. Was about a 3 hour program, with direct one on one supervision. Additionally, I am now allowed to move between the different ranges at my club with an unloaded firearm in my holster.

Damn thats bold of them to allow loaded 320s in holsters.

Without getting into it too much, and as far as I am aware, it yet to be proven in the court of law that the pistol can have an uncommanded discharge without some form of inappropriate manipulation or incorrect use of a holster.

Buddy, I worked for SIG for years as an armourer working directly with the 320 recall. They’re are full of it and have handled the situation in such an embarrassing manner. I used to be a huge SIG grifter but seeing how they handled the dangerous issues that were present in their pistol was definitely a contributing factor in my leaving

Lmao im not gonna get into it but its definitely been settled more then once.

I understand buyers bias but you can't ignore the fact that this gun has been plagued with multiple issues since its inception. I mean i impulse bought the p320 spectre comp before the handgun ban but im in no way going to ignore the facts that have been presented.

All im saying is it doesn't hurt to exercise caution with these guns, especially loaded in a holster.

In that exact article, it's states that the plaintiff doesn't deny that the trigger was pulled. While I agree, the design should have encouperated more redundant safeties, my understanding is that each of the incidents involving ND/UD has come down to improper use. Yes you are obviously correct, I have some form I bais, as I wish to use what may end up being one of the few pistols I have a chance to own to its fullest without obstructions. I do appreciate the positive discussion though.
