Not in this case.
I'd heard this...
I hadn't heard that
Cynical, but probably true..

I too was pretty shocked to see this on the list. Obviously the P320 IS a very reliable format. I don't care what anyone says, this gun has changed the entire industry and the modularity is so useful as to allow me to excuse a lot of things I like less about the gun.... and there are a few thinks I really don't like about it.... but now the aftermarket is answering those concerns with loads of fun options.

Bottom line, for me, when it comes to striker-fired plastic (which I own very little of compared to my 1911 collection).... ZEV OZ9C FOR SHOW....... P320 FOR A PRO
I purchased a p320 and sold it a week later. It was by far the worst piece of **** Sig has ever made, and if you try to suppress it, the reliability is completely in the toilet.
 
I don’t trust what he or anyone else on the internet says about firearms. I’ve owned several 320’s and all have been 100% reliable.
I couldn't agree more with you. Anyone who talks like that I don't trust either; he probably is a glock fanboy and hasn't even shot a Sig in the first place.
 
The most unreliable firearm I ever owned was a Sig P290 RS. I would say the 290 RS is completely unreliable yet literally no one on this forum had the same experience.
My two P290RS (9mm & .380) were reliable but both had a trigger resonance when fired that simply hurt. They went to a Foster Home.

The only other Sig model I just could never get to like was my P225 and everyone says they love it.

The P230 is still with me, the P226 was replaced not long after I traded it and the P225 for a new semi-custom Dan Wesson Pointman/Patriot and I'd love to find another SP2009.

He is definitely not a Sig fan and even admits he does not shoot them well so I don't put much credence in what he says about Sig's
He actually IS a Sig fan. P365 and P226 are on his “Best” lists.

He doesn’t like most P320’’s due to high bore axis, mushy trigger reset and the known-to-us frequent malfs in the first 200 rounds. IMO his opinion is baked in now.
 
Anyone who has to proclaim their honesty ... and then repeat it over and over, well ......

He doesn't do that at least that i have ever heard. He just explains his experience with different platforms.
Most he will say whatever disclaimer like his big hands or whatever that makes him prefer one over another.
From what i've seen he does brag about the P365 platform and often has stated you can't go wrong with a P226.
He is not by any means a Sig fanboy though.

I find his stuff entertaining and funny.
 
I'm new to Sig's having only a P322 prior to my owning two P320's, a full size and a Compact. After shooting both pistols a couple of hundred rounds each I would say that I disagree. Out of the box both guns performed without a malfunction and shot to the point of aim at 15 and 25 yards. I'm a CZ guy but that doesn't mean I don't like other (Good) guns. The 320's certainly measure up as great pistols. Why is the 320 on an "unreliable list"? I can't watch the video.

My M18 runs very reliably without a suppressor. I can't recall a malfunction with it. Put the can on and I'm lucky to get 3 shots in a row without a malfunction. Doesn't seem to matter what ammo I use. Others have posted in this thread that suppressed they need 150 rounds or so to get broken in. I never gave it that much of a chance. I have a Griffin Resistance 9 in jail right now, when I comes out I'll try it on the M18.
 
I bought an m17 and aside from the nostalgia of having a weapon chosen by the U.S. military I don’t see much value in it. I actually like the p365 more. The trigger on my m17 feels like I’m pulling into a balloon filled with sand. You get on the wall and it’s putty for a few mm’s and the break is sloppy. I added the GrayGuns flat trigger kit and it didn’t help much. I wouldn’t put it at the top of my list for favorite guns.
 
My experience is great. I have 10 Sigs in various calibers and, configurations, and ages. All have been shot a lot. Never had a single malfunction except for the occasional my bad handload that is too long. My only niggle would be that if they had more freebore, I wouldnt have any malfunctions.
 
The level of butt hurt is amazing.

imagine being offended by what a random guy says about a product you happen to own.

He brings up legit points too. Reliability, unnecessarily high bore axis, shitty trigger.
