Errors in article[edit]
The correct name for the German company that once helped form Sig Sauer is J.P. Sauer & Sohn. These are two separate companies both owned by Luke & Ortmeier Holding. Sig-Sauer was a joint venture between Swiss SIG and J.P. Sauer & Sohn which produced it's first product, the P220 handgun in 1975. SIG has since divested itself of all firearms making businesses with the remainder (rifles) becoming Swissarms and Sig Sauer becoming an Exeter, NH based company. There is also a Sig Sauer of Germany.Digitallymade (talk) 09:34, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
Design Origin[edit]
When the P320 was designed, there were no longer any Sig Sauer relations to Switzerland other than the overall ownership L&O Holding Gruppe being Swiss.Digitallymade (talk) 09:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
P320 is NOT shown as being available in .380 ACP (9mm Kurtz) Comment[edit]
Sig Sauer selection website for P320 options shows four calibers, 9 x 19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger), 357 Sig. 40 S&W, and 45 ACP Digitallymade (talk) 09:42, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
The XM17 has a manual safety[edit]
Photos of the XM17 released this week clearly show that both models adopted by the USA military had an external safety.

- This is already in the article? ResultingConstant (talk) 03:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- It's better to know there is a photo to support this. The models used for XM17 are the RX type which support easy addition of optical sights.. this has been illustrated by photograph and one viewer on Facebook noticed it already.2601:14D:200:AA50:AC6D:DFF4:1F4C:6DEF (talk) 06:09, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Fire Control Unit[edit]
The fire control unit is made of stainless steel, not steel.Digitallymade (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Clarification on features[edit]
There are two groups of modules for the P320. The first group supports chamberings of 9mm x 19mm Nato, .357 Sig, and .40 S&W calibers. The 2nd group has only .45 ACP in it.
The three calibers in the first group can be intechanged along with all four frame and all three grip sizes.
The .45 ACP group has only three frame sizes, the Sub Compact is not offered.
This information I have confirmed by telephone with Sig Sauer today.[1]
The Group is in fact the fire control unit. There are two types; the three caliber unit and the single caliber unit (.45ACP).Digitallymade (talk) 22:57, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Trigger(ed)[edit]
Why people keep telling P320 has DAO trigger system and undo my additions concerning this feature? It shoots with striker being in rearmost position, and I included sources for this statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.184.141.202 (talk) 08:30, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
- No it does not fire from the position of having the striker in the rearmost position. Several of the striker fired handguns are DAO for the purpose of being eligible for Police purchases which require a double action trigger. If you look hard enough you'll find what is referred to as "pre load" or pre tension" which in the P320 is at about 90%. So the trigger pull is in fact Double Action only.

Reliable sources[edit]
I'm good with TFB etc, but is omahaoutdoors.com really a reliable source? I mean it doesn't really tell us anything new. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:29, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
X Series Models[edit]
The article has a section entitled X Series Models. The first sentence says, "The X Series lineup includes the following grip module sizes". But the section lacks an explanation of what the X Series is. The first sentence should clearly state what the X Series is. Then state what it includes.

10mm Auto Capacity[edit]
I see all other calibers are listed with how many rounds per magazine there are, except for the 10mm Auto. If someone knows how many 10mm rounds a magazine for the P320 can hold, it would be greatly appreciated if added.  TRUEandHONESTuser (talk) 17:35, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- The 10mm magazine holds 15 rounds. 2600:8804:519:C000:B8FA:9A9A:A66B:D6AC (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Reads like promotional material[edit]
Can this article be tagged for lack of neutrality or something? It reads like ad copy. it's especially jarring when contrasted with the new additions on the reliability and misfire issues. Frohike14 (talk) 05:04, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
Incorrect information muzzle velocity[edit]
The muzzle velocity is an attribute of the ammunition being fired not the firearm. Barrel length is the only detail about a firearm that has anything to do with bullet velocity. Pistols don't have muzzle velocity. 38.94.112.64 (talk) 15:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
