Bill of sale with potential issues, purchaser signs indicating understanding. Or to a gun shop (loss likely) or better still sell as parts, not a complete firearm. I bought a High Power that had the SASS treatment - a clear statement that the mag safety was disabled accompanied the gun, and a copy stayed with the seller.

 

As long as buyer is aware and still wants to buy it, sell it,nothing unethical about it. I sold a jeep to someone that really wanted it. It had been sitting without being used for like 7 yrs. I told the it ran with no problems when I parked it but after sitting so long I couldn’t say what it might need. I disclosed everything. They still wanted it knowing that so no ethical issues. Same would be for the gun. If all is disclosed sell with clear conscience

 

I have 3 of them, no interest in selling any at this time. I don't carry them but they go to the range...

 

With all the accidents happening I’d say No and sleep good knowing I didn’t sell a gun that got someone’s kid shot because the gun was in a holster.

 

I agree, wouldn't sell one these days.

 

Sig Sauer just sent out an email with regards to the P320. More information will be coming out in the future that may add some clarity.

 

Got the same email. Looks like they are ready to fight this fight come what may. I have owed several Sigs in the past, including 2 P320’s. No issues here. But, never carried either. I don’t currently own any Sigs. I’ve gone all in on 1911/2011’s and there’s just nothing left over.

 

Any possibility Sig could try banning us for answering this survey?

 

It’s fine as a range him.


Mine has always been a range gun. I initially planned to (eventually) carry it, but changed my mind when I saw others having “issues”.

I’ll keep it but it’ll never be carried.

 

Nope.

 

I would sell it off to your LGS if you can find one willing.

 

Yikes, I'm not sure what I'd do but I will say this...when I was in my twenties I was selling a motorcycle, an absurdly fast Kawasaki KZ1000 Z1-R. A 17 year old kid answered the ad and showed up with cash. I made him call his mother from my house and she said while she wasn't thrilled, she had given her blessing. I have no knowledge of anything bad happening to that young man, but I've probably thought about how foolish it was to sell him that bike a thousand times over the last 40 years. It has bothered me all this time.

 

I’ll probably just keep mine for the time being. Hopefully, they will figure out a fix or buyback… I won’t hold my breath though

 

Honestly, people who are in the firearm world know enough about the P320 and the shadiness behind SIG as a whole that if they're willing to gobble up a P320 for a low price they're assuming all risks. It's not your responsibility as the seller of the firearm anyway - the onus is on the manufacturer (hence, recalls...)

And with SIG already having done one huge recall for these pistols a few years ago I wouldn't be shocked if they began rolling out another huge iteration to fix their FCU's.

True story: my local shop has quite a few of them on hand right now in various trims as they are a preferred dealer... They sent us a funny text today saying to bolo for a huge package deal coming down the pipeline from SIG to get rid of whatever they have (tons of ammo to go with purchase, holsters, lights, etc...)

 

A good arbitrage may be buying as many as I can soon when they probably sell for $50 or less and then go flip them all at one of those state sponsored gun turn in buy back places if they still do that .

 

I don't think many (if any) of those do cash anymore and instead you get your return on some sort of gift card.

I know that in Boston they got rid of the cash buy back and went to gift cards and we're one of the most liberal cities around.

 

No Sig P320 here... Nope, nope, nope... Ain't happening.

Give me the classic 1911 .45 ACP and let me be.

 

I'm going to hold onto mine. Maybe there will be a fix for it someday.
In any case, I wouldn't feel right selling it, even if I informed the buyer about the issues. No judgement of what others do, just what I feel is right.

 

If the buyer understands what they're buying, I don't see the harm. There are still some Sig fanboys out there that like to fondle these.

 

I had no use for them because I think striker guns are a flawed design notwithstanding the P7, but if I did have one only to someone that really wanted one for some screwed up reason. Too many people not into guns that just want one and don't understand the ramifications of having one.

 

It depends on the context. If the P320 has been modified or is part of a recall, it might raise ethical concerns. However, if it’s in good working condition and you're transparent about its status, selling it is generally fine. What’s the specific situation you’re facing?

 

Just to be clear, I'm not selling my FCU or asking for advice on what I should do. I created this thread for discussion and reflective purposes.

My vote was for number 2, with a close number 3 as circumstances dictate. What I know is if someone I loved was shopping for a gun and hasn't asked me about it first, I pray any seller would disclose to them what's happening with Sig and the 320 guns before taking their money at the very least. More to my liking would be for that seller to refuse the sale outright and steer them to a better choice, there are so many out there.

 

I feel like.. it is ethical not to sell one for me for cheap

 

Good luck on selling a Sig 320 these days. I’d only sell or trade one to a licensed FFL these days.
locally most of the shops are offering Pennie’s on the dollar for trades or an ought right purchase. I sure wouldn’t carry one with a round in the chambers, or keep one at the ready in the home with a round in the chamber.
If we still owned one I’d probably just stash the FCU only in the safe.

On a different note with this whole Sig 320 issue I’m curious if anyone has tried to sell or trade there P 320 back to Sig
hmmm 🤔😎

 

No.

 

I was just looking at one and figuring out what Apendix Holster would work, When... Seriously These are tools. Not my top choice of tools. Nobody can determine how or what motivates someone to consider a P320 with its concerns. From a Business perspective, SIG needs accountability in the equation. I read they filed a lawsuit against a WA training facility. They may have a full legitimate case of knee jerk reaction. At the same time, Why is a Government Agency BANNING firearms? It is a multifaceted problem. I learned at a very early age not to put my hand on a hot stove. It hurt. It was one of my first life lessons. We live in a great Country where Capitalism is a pillar of our society. IF fully disclosed, Sell it. If I owned one I wouldn't be rushing to sell it. It might just be one of those books on the shelf that I see and remember the lessons learned from it.

 

Sell it. Yeah, they're unsafe, but tons of things people sell aren't. Has every gun store that's sold an 870 or a 500 told the customer it's not drop safe with a round in the chamber? Has everyone that's sold a non-firing pin block 19/2011 told the receiver that if it's dropped on the muzzle it might fire? How many places sell re manufactured ammo of questionable quality? Or gimmicky nonsense defense ammo like RIP ammo?

I am NOT a 320 defender, far from it- the 320 has problems and really needs to go away. But I wouldn't hold all sellers to some standard. If someone wants to buy a 320, sell it to em. If they ask, tell them many people think the guns has problems and you'd be happy to sell them something else if they're uncomfortable with that. Or disclose it from the beginning.

It's like all the club matches banning 320s- I've watched open guns double at matches, people put rounds into dirt from shadow 2s on load and make ready all the time, handloaded major ammo nukes guns, Serpas still aren't banned from most matches, but social media inertia has made the 320 the gun it's morally ok to ban.

Yes, pro 2A gun people who are saying the gun is unsafe, hell it is the top selling product for last couple of months. This isn't anti-2a gun social media, these are people that have put more rounds in firearms than you or me. These same people own 320's, they are just exercising their right to free speech, and speak that these guns are unsafe. Then the safety issues, speak for themselves, thus it has created a perfect storm, with SIG denying, people are dying and getting seriously injured by their product. Which they stand behind, which we know is BS.

 

Ethic issues would mean selling something without disclosing known issues. Used car dealers are a prime example. They don't look for any issues so they cannot tell you about them. Ethically, that's good. Morally, not so good.
If you know of any issues WITH THE SPECIFIC ITEM (gun), inform the buyer and let them decide. IF you have no issues with the specific item (i.e never had an un-commanded discharge), that can be disclosed, and the buyer beware.

 

I voted sell if buyer knows the risks.
Some folks may want to pick up some cheap 320's and wait for a fix.

I really liked the P320 ergonomics, but now...no thanks.
