Beats me. Not my video. I took cornstalker's reason for asking as that he had a post modification gun. If I was required to carry one, I would make sure it had the "upgrade" and I would drop the hell out of it with primed cases from my carry ammo. The one I saw was pre modified. Fortunately for me, I get to choose what I carry these days. And it isn't going to be a Sig made during the Cohen era.
Yes. It would not do that post repair.
There were known issues and warning signs about the P320’s In the lawn Forssman community due to issues with weapons being dropped on firing range is during training. What really broke the story was the Connecticut SWAT cop who dropped a duty belt containing a loaded SIG P320 while loading gear into his vehicle after training. The holstered gun discharged striking him in the knee at an upward angle. After months of unsuccessfully Attempting to settle with Zac privately the Connecticut cop and his attorney filed suit in federal court.That's pretty good... I originally thought the Omaha video was the one made by a guy who made a special harness out of cord so he could drop his SIG the exact same way every time so it would go off. I will search for that video, and I should be able to find it, but everybody and their parakeets started making P320 drop videos about that time. I'll post it when I find it. The harness thingamajig was actually the first video I saw on the subject and I erroneously credited it to the first Omaha video. I should have said this when I added the video to my post.
This turned out to be the first of four known instances of dropped original design P320’s going off including one other that resulted in injury to an LEO.
All the Internet video drama b******t came later. The video you were talking about with a sling contraption to control the angle at which a dropped pistol strikes was actually produced and released by SIG later in an attempt to minimize the issue.
Your argument that the drop safety issue with the original Sigg P320 design was some sort of fake issue or parlor trick is horseshit.
As to your earlier comments about not worrying about a drop safe gun because of “safety being between your ears” If you have never dropped a handgun, fallen with a handgun in your hand or been in a physical altercation with a handgun in your hand then maybe you don’t have the practical experience to be commenting on these matters.

If you look at the complexity of a P320 FCU and slide components. Compared to any other striker Fired gun it's insanely complex. Good luck with long term environmental survival as the size and tolerance are far above anything else. A Glock, Beretta APX, and many others went for reduced components and bigger parts to aid in reliability long term.
WOW. What I find amazing is the utter hate for a firearm and a company most on here have not experienced any issue with. This reminds me of the Beretta PX4 back around 4 to 5 years ago when the majority of the post on this form was hate concerning the design. I remember posting about how happy I was with the two I had and how well they were performing only to be told the design was junk and that I had better carry a rubber mallet for when they would seize up.
It was only after Mr. Langdon began testing and discussing the PX4 that all the hate vanished. So how long before some well know writer or competitor begins working with the P320 that everyone here falls in love with the design.
The big difference is that Beretta’s guns never fired when they were dropped, and Beretta didn’t then try to hush that up and keep selling non-drop-safe firearms to end users including entire law enforcement agencies. And sell less reliable magazines to non-LE users. And similar shady practice.
PF is a levelheaded forum, and evidence based. We didn’t all wake up deciding to hate the P320 mindlessly. In fact, in the midst of the P320 controversy I purchased an SP2022 because it’s a reliable, quality controlled design.
It’s very easy to dismiss the skepticism as “Haters n’ Fanboys” but Sig themselves have created this controversy through continuing corner cutting and corporate decision making that has lost sight of the end goal of delivering a reliable, safe service weapon. When they turn back from that, I be more than willing to put my money down again. But there’s a reason I once owned 6 Sigs and now own 1, and it ain’t because I’m a hater.

Is this a professional assessment or a layman's opinion?
Has Sig corrected the issue with firearms discharging when being dropped?
Has Sig corrected the magazine concerns?
I would like to know because I have been considering purchasing one.
As far as fact base, the PX4 hate that was going on several years ago had no fact but just several posters posting about what they had heard from their brother's friends cousins brother in laws shooting friend.
I'm not saying Sig did not have concerns with product quality concerning the P320 line just the fact most if the haters are just haters not becasue of direct knowledge only just what they heard or read on the internet.
