SIG SAUER Responds to Call by Florida Lawmaker to Ban P320 in State

Thursday, July 24th, 2025

Florida State Representative (R) Danny Alvarez penned an Op-Ed for Florida’s Voice entitled “Florida must prioritize safety: The case for ending law enforcement use of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol.” He bases this opinion on anecdotal evidence, the FBI Ballistics Lab Report, and the Air Force Global Strike Command’s safety stand down following a fatality earlier this week.

SIG SAUER responded by sending the following letter to Law Enforcement agencies in Florida. We have obtained a copy and the entire letter can be downloaded here.

The entire episode caught us off guard but we share it because we are located in Florida and we have received repeated feedback that SIG is not defending the pistol from the onslaught of online criticism. The letter is the most succinct and complete response we have seen from SIG on the issue.

The letter is respectful yet asserts their position on the P320. It states in part:

SIG SAUER is in direct contact with Representative Alverez and will continue to maintain an open, respectful, and direct dialog. While we respect Representative Alvarez as both an individual and elected official, we reject his assertion that the P320 poses an undue risk to Florida’s law enforcement community. We strongly disagree with his position, accusations, and inaccurate statements. His statements, while heartfelt, are misguided, misinformed and fueled by rhetoric as opposed to facts.

The letter goes on to address Rep Alverez’s concerns and then finishes up with:

The P320 cannot, under any circumstance, discharge without a trigger pull. Lawsuits with claims that the P320 is capable of firing without a trigger pull have been dismissed in twelve (12) separate federal district courts, including a decision by a unanimous eight (8) person jury. In addition, five (5) other lawsuits against SIG SAUER regarding the P320 with different liability theories have also been dismissed. Plaintiffs’ own experts have abandoned their theories that the P320 can discharge without a trigger pull after not being able to replicate it. Further, plaintiffs’ own experts have repeatedly admitted under oath the P320 cannot discharge without trigger actuation – in direct contradiction to Representative Alverez’s accusations.

and…

SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the law enforcement community, the U.S. Military and our consumers first. We stand by Representative Alverez’s desire to increase the safety of public officers; however, a P320 ban does not accomplish that goal. Part of fielding safe firearms – regardless of type or manufacturer – requires extensive education and training at every level and are open to working with Representative Alverez on fact-based solutions.
