On the heels of recent official announcements by the Air Force’s Global Strike Command and Department of Homeland Security’s Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Gunsite Academy, one of the most recognizable and most respected names in the firearms training business, announced on social media that use of the Sig Sauer P320 will no longer be permitted in classes.

Gunsite will allow Military or Law Enforcement students to use their P320 government-issued duty pistol, but will try to discourage those students from using it.

The full statement from Gunsite is below:

Gunsite Academy has always placed firearms safety as paramount.

Currently, there are significant questions being asked in our community about the operation of the SIG 320 Pistol.

After much consideration, we have decided that until these questions have been answered to our satisfaction, Gunsite will no longer allow the SIG 320 Pistol to be used in classes, effective immediately.

If the SIG 320 is a government-issued duty pistol for Military or Law Enforcement students, we will allow - but discourage the use of - the SIG P320 for that student.

Other SIG platforms continue to be welcome in classes.

SIG is a well-known leader in our industry and we are confident they are working diligently to investigate the possible underlying problem.

Once the issue is resolved, we will reconsider our prohibition.

Respectfully,

Ken Campbell
Chief Executive Officer
