Sig P320 Recall/Upgrade Assembly Problems?

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I should say there around the 7 minute mark that there are few differences outside of the disconnector that was added and that the disconnector was more prominent than I had expected it to be. That's what I get for working without a script...

[@bradleymoore3170]

TXSuburbanHomestead push down on your trigger mechanism then push the slide back in. It will go on nice and easy

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Bradley Moore thanks, I appreciate the tip. Off-camera I tried every conceivable combination and nothing worked. I ended up having to send it back to the factory a second time. If you’re curious how it turned out, I’ve got a follow-up video posted on my channel after the return. Thanks again.

[@bradleymoore3170]

Don't worry lot of people having same issue. I still having same problem. I notice when I push in that trigger mechanism it works sometimes. I'm afraid I'll have to give them a call and plus my case came back broken.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Bradley Moore I think you’re absolutely right. I think this is a pretty common problem from what I’ve seen. I was convinced mine was a trigger/disconnect issue. I tried every combination of trigger pull/slide release, and nothing seemed to work for me. I’d be getting a new case at the very least if I were in your shoes.

[@josephvoytus3694]

I'm sorry I should have mentioned I watched that as well. That's why I suggested the call requesting the reason why. You got some really good suggestions in the comments, good people in the shooting community.

[@debbiewisdom8447]

Take down lever on mine quite stiff and had problems with reassembly

[@josephvoytus3694]

Just took mine down twice & reassembled..... no issue. I'm not savvy enough to offer any other ideas but once again good luck.

[@brentwheeler2142]

I just received my p320 today and had the same takedown issue you had but on mine I have a ton of lift or slop in between the upper and lower reciever which I didn't have before and I have tried it empty and with an empty mag and full magazine and also with one in the chamber and have terrible slop and movement it's horrible I even compared it against my other striker-fired guns and none of them have slop in them at all just thought I'd let you know see if yours is doing that as well thank you for your video and please give me some feedback

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Interestingly, the more I've shot mine, up to a couple thousand rounds again, it's working itself out. No misfires in almost 3K rounds and the takedown is better than before. Good luck.

[@robbiterry38]

had mine upgraded, not having any problems with it going back together. goes together real smooth..

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

From what I've seen and heard from my local gun store, it's a real mixed bag. Glad yours works well. Mine eventually worked well. I've got another followup video on this . You should check it out. They finally got it fixed and it's running great. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I just talked to Sig after I posted the second video and they said that with that level of difficulty getting the slide over the disconnector that I may be causing damage to the striker. I'm shipping it back to them today. They're providing my shipping now and I'll keep y'all updated on what transpires.

[@freedompatriot1]

Having the same issue with racking the slide back on!

[@fettmaneiii4439]

I got my SIG back from voluntary upgrade. They forgot to perform the service about a feeding issue i also sent it in for, so had to send it back :/. But! My gun also got hung up taking the slide off, and also got fairly badly hung up getting the slide back on. When i did get it back on, dead trigger. Also, when i pushed the slide slightly back when fully assembled, the slide did get stuck about a quarter inch back. People always wanna hate on HK for having expensive guns.. “get a glock, get a sig!” But.. problem is my HK hasnt had a single issue and both my glock and my sig have had issues. I truly think that no matter what anyone tells you, you do and will get what you pay for.

[@g.kellyworth4412]

I too, had a problem. It came back from the "upgrade", as they call it, I took the slide off to look at the work, put it back together and the mag would not go all the way in. Rack slide violently a few times, and mag went in. Works till I take slide off again, then same deal with mag. Talked to Customer Service. They seem to think it's something to do with mag safety sticking. I didn't know there was one. The take down level is hard to move. They said to send it back...again. Quote of 4 to 6 weeks turn around, but I'm sure it will be much less.

[@kmoodyjr]

I just got my 320c back, after putting about 500 rounds through it at the range I have the exact same issue with the mag seating. Have they fixed yours?

[@spikesforge9000]

Mine is like that and haven't sent it out for upgrade yet

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

That's strange. Mine prior was the most reliable gun I've ever owned. It was the original without the disconnector though. It was flawless. I ended up sending it back to Sig and am expecting it back any day now. If you're having this problem, you may want to subscribe and see how it turns out after a second trip back to the factory. Thanks for watching.

[@chrissourp6807]

My P320 just went back today. Since the trigger replacement it has failed to feed properly. Called and had a shipper in 5 minutes. I hope I do not get the dreaded "No Problem Found".

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

The "no problem found" is the absolute worst.

[@scottthrower7637]

Yep. I did not do the voluntary 'upgrade.' Have had mine apart for cleaning several times, but when I most recently cleaned it, I removed the FCU for cleaning. Now, when assembling the gun, the slide does what yours does in the vid.... gets stuck about 1/4 inch from the back of the grip module. I contacted customer service at Sig, they asked for photos....and after I sent the pics, they were completely perplexed. Allegedly. I'm shipping it to them today at their expense.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I had no problem shipping it back to them. A little update: It's been a while now & I've run a couple thousand rounds through it & it's working really well. Only had 1 issue & it was from a dead primer. Thanks for watching & good luck.

[@williamstevens2379]

I have the 320 but I’m not getting the upgrade

[@jmira44883]

Smart man !!

[@zarbonthedestroyer7232]

I've dropped my cleared p320 on plywood and carpet from head height many times and haven't had it fire yet.

[@fettmaneiii4439]

I would highly suggest NOT getting the “upgrade”. It downgrades my pistol significantly.. dead trigger and all haha

[@gkm8486]

Will buying a new one right now still have the old triggers? Will SIG ever send out a new lot of them to stores with new triggers or will they all still have the original triggers and have to do the voluntary upgrade?

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Gabriel Kyle Mayo I was at my local gun store this weekend and looked at one of the carry models. It had the new trigger. I didn’t ask when it shipped, but there was a new one in the store with the disconnector and the new trigger.

[@gkm8486]

TXSuburbanHomestead ok thanks!

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

You betcha.

[@thefleaflop]

Hi... Been looking for your video... Thanks. I double boxed mine but did not have a Sig pistol case. Did you send yours in with all shown in unboxing?... Thanks.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Thanks for asking. Hopefully I can help. I went back to my dealer and they helped me send it in. I still have the original case, but honestly I don't know that it should matter. I also reached out to Sig and they were VERY responsive, so I'd recommend that route too. Hope this helps!

[@josephvoytus3694]

Probably not the cause. I just got my p320 rx compact a couple days ago. Haven't had time to check it out yet. Now I'm concerned it won't assemble correctly 😓..... can't wait to see what happens. Maybe call & ask for an explanation "note" be placed in when completed ?

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I posed a second video just focusing on the disconnector issue. In some of the comment chains another viewer and I were discussing that very thing! I spoke with them and they were noncommittal over the phone. I know they probably won't send a note of any kind, but it sure would be nice.

[@chads9776]

Can you do a drop test? No one else has done one yet.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I'll see what I can do when I get it back. It should be any day now. I sent it back to them to fix the disconnector. Be sure and subscribe & I'll do what I can when I get it back. Thanks for watching.

[@jmira44883]

I drank the kool aid and bought one !! heard about the recall and sold it.Bought a cz p10c and not really thrilled with it.I guess once a 1911 lover always a 1911 lover !!

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

This was my first striker-fired pistol. I'd always had great luck with it until this "upgrade". Super reliable after thousands of rounds, great trigger, etc. This has...tainted my view of the brand a bit.

[@josephvoytus3694]

Is it possible letting the slide slam fwd on an empty chamber could have damaged something ? I was told that's a no-no 20+ yrs ago but not sure about with newer pistols. Good luck. Subscribed.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I don't know; that's a good suggestion. It's something I've never avoided in the past with any of my other firearms. From everything I can see it's an issue where the disconnector comes up when the slide is removed and never goes back down. Before I sent if off, it was butter smooth all the time and one of the best pistols I'd ever used. Thanks for the subscription. I contacted Sig and they wanted it back. I'll post another update once I get it back from them.

[@bikeracerdude]

*I'm not seeing any problems with the Sig, but you didn't push the TDLever all the way the first time (hard to tell the second time because you have the TDLever away from the lens where we can't see it). One just needs to push the disconnector down before pushing the slide back for reassembly.*

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Thanks. I guess I haven't seen anything about there being a need to do anything to the disconnector on the upgraded unit. I've watched videos from Sig and they never mention it; they even just pull the slide back on like it used to go. I'll give it a try sometime.

[@bikeracerdude]

Huh... I thought it was a Sig vid that showed or mentioned it, but maybe it was another YT vid, or maybe just people posting it.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Thanks for the heads up on the other vids. I'll have to take a look and see what other folks are saying.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

If you're wanting to see a little more, I've posted another video with a little closer look at the disconnector and what appears to be a trigger reset issue on the takedown.

[@turbotim007]

The new trigger disconnect needs to be pressed down before sliding the slide back on.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Thanks for the tip. I've tried everything. There seems to be a sticking where it won't go down all the time. Even then, it is still really difficult. I've got another video on it focusing just on the slide/disconnector. Take a look, it's only a couple of minutes long, and let me know what you think. Spoiler though, I've already sent it back to Sig...

[@parisgrimes3351]

I got mine back within a week and it breaks down and goes right back together just like brand new great gun but not as nice as my P2 26 legion

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Paris Grimes i’m glad to hear you got yours back with no problem. I don’t know that there are many guns as good as the 226 Legion. If I weren’t a lefty and so dependent on ambidextrous controls, I would be all over that one. Thanks for watching.

[@jmira44883]

They fixed that pos alright !!

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

POS, I don't know, but it's definitely not an "upgrade" like I had hoped. You should check out my second video on it before I sent it back to them. If you want to see how it turns out, good or bad, be sure to subscribe & I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

[@carrieefh1296]

My reassembly issues are related to the slide lock, it won't engage at all and even if I get the slide on and flip the take down switch back into place....there's some sort of safety in place that won't allow the magazine to be loaded.

[@kencox3573]

If you fail to use the slide stop when replacing the slide your P320 turns into a brick. It will not accept a mag. and the trigger does not function, no matter how many times you rack the slide. You have to push the slide lock up and then the pistol will function. Mine also has failure of the slide to return to full battery at times.( weak slide return spring?) I have carried a Sig 220 DAK for a lot of years with not one complaint. My P320 is going back to Sig. If they cannot get it to real Sig standards, mine will be given away on a new Glock. My Sig 1911 will be my last Sig purchase.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

I've got a follow-up video if you're interested. I sent it back to the factory and now the disconnector drops so I can replace the slide. It functions well now after the return trip. Based on my experience, I'd recommend sending it back to see what the gun shop can do for you. Mine's running well again now after the return trip.

[@bjohnson515]

I like that S&W MP 2.0 compact

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Shot a 2.0 for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed by the upgrades they've done over the original M&P.

[@Texasoutback]

You are rolling the disassembly pin to far from what it looks like

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Thanks for the tip, but that really doesn't make a difference. The disconnector wouldn't drop. I sent it back to Sig a second time and they fixed the issue. Others have mentioned the rotation fo the takedown lever, but before the issue and now after, I can go anywhere from parallel to past and it doesn't really matter. I've got another follow-up video on the final product if you'd like to take a look. Thanks again for watching & taking the time to comment.

[@historicus146]

Engineering on the fly. Wait for the next generation before you buy.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Normally I'd agree, but sometimes you've just got to jump in the pool so to speak. When I bought this almost 3 years ago, I never thought it would end up like this. They were still on the Gen 1 M&P & VP9, and I'm just not a Glock guy. I could have easily gone with a 1911, but the budget just didn't allow.... Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment.

[@elithegreat6463]

I baffles me why guys dont take a pic of their internals before sending their Guns in, then sounding befuddled and guessing if theres any changes. ???

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

BeaglePower G since this is my first time sending a gun of any kind back to the manufacturer, it honestly never occurred to me. If you’d been in in my situation, I’m impressed if a picture for comparison was what you thought of instead of just getting it fixed. Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment.
