***********************

After thoughtful consideration, we are prohibiting all Sig P320 variants in our training classes.

We regret doing this, but as issues continue to be documented by the US Military and the FBI, along with other reliable sources, we feel a responsibility to ensure safety and mitigate liability on this particular platform in our classes until such time the potential issues have been resolved by the manufacturer.
