NEWINGTON, N.H.-(Ammoland.com)- SIG SAUER, Inc. is proud to announce the Lloyd Harbor Police Department has transitioned to the SIG SAUER P320 9mm pistol from the GLOCK 23 as their official duty pistol. Lloyd Harbor Police Department serves the Village of Lloyd Harbor in Huntington, New York.

“Our transition to the SIG SAUER P320 pistol has been seamless, and my officers are impressed with both the superior performance and accuracy of the pistol,” began Chief Thomas Krumpter, Lloyd Harbor Police Department. “Additionally, we appreciate the modularity of the pistol, having the ability to choose a comfortable grip size, and all the safety features of the P320.”

The P320 pistol is a modular, striker-fired pistol, available in full-size, carry, compact, and subcompact sizing. The serialized trigger group makes the P320 adjustable to multiple calibers, size, and grip options. The P320 is available in 9mm, .357SIG, 40S&W, .45ACP, with a choice of contrast, or SIGLITE Night Sights. The intuitive 3-point takedown requires no trigger pull for disassembly, and safety features include a striker safety, disconnect safety, and optional manual safety.

“We are honored to welcome the officers of the Lloyd Harbor Police Department to the growing number of police agencies adopting the SIG SAUER P320 and supporting their transition,” added Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President Law Enforcement Sales. “We are proud of the positive feedback we have received from Chief Krumpter, and look forward to strengthening our partnership with the officers protecting Lloyd Harbor.”

Not for nothing, but both are great guns and quite frankly, the competition only benefits the consumer. Let the war rage on, I say.

DEAR GLOCKHEADS … THE WAR IS OVER !!! & SIG FREAKIN WON !!! DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THIS : EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, EVERYTHING IS IN CONSTANT EVOLUTION , THATS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT , GLOCK HAD ITS TIME AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE BEST PISTOLS EVER MADE ( EVEN THOU I FIND IT UGLY AS HELL , I STILL HAVE TO RECOGNIZE ITS QUALITY ) BUT ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE AND IF YOU CANT ADAPT TO CHANGES , YOU WILL BECOME A DINOSOUR , JUST LIKE YOUR UGLY LOOKING GLOCK !

I carried a Dept. Issued Glock 21 and an off duty Glock 36. I also owned a Glock 23 Gen 4, which I purchased from a Deputy friend when his Dept. transitioned to the P 320 from Sig. After he shot the P320 a few times, he spoke so highly of the P320, I bought one. In my experience, Factory Glocks can not compare to the smooth P320 trigger, and quick reset. I found the Glock trigger safety insert would really irritate my trigger finger, and close to blistering, after about 100 rounds. I sold the G23. I did send… Read more »

How can you not know what caliber of gun you are carrying being a Cop?..I don’t get it.

Rusty yates

The Sig p320 is a fine pistol and while I agree it is a safer weapon particularly with an external safety, it is not a superior performer nor is it more accurate than a glock 23. I understand the modular feature ,though the glock can be changed to 9mm or 357.sig quickly . . Either the Glock or the Sig is a great choice.

Justin

That depends. Both guns are accurate, but while you may be more accurate with the glock, some are more accurate with the Sig. I had a similar issue. Some shot glocks better than me with great accuracy, but I straight up crush the competetion with a Sig in my hand.

Justin

A Sig can also change calibers just as fast as the glock.

Brian Prentice

What idiot drops their gun?

Larry Macioce

I have both and the sig is a tack driver.
Also had a glock 19..sold it quickly..was not impressed at all

S.Abner

Not impressed…loved the order Sigs but the new models I’m not impressed with…I’ll stick with my Glock!

Nick

Just hope they don’t drop it, Fall on it, or sneeze on it. It may go off. I honestly do not trust the 320 after everything I have seen and read. Not in the sense of it’s not a reliable shooter. I just don’t want it to go off when not intended ya know what I saying sig. Poor test / quality control leads to a distrust of your products.

Ozzy

That’s no longer a concern. The “drop safe” issue was a rare thing, in that If the gun was dropped,and hit at a certain angle it might discharge. My P320 was fine,and since the ” * upgrade”, is carried daily with complete confidence.
The military pistols (M17 /M18) didn’t have that issue and neither do all P320’s manufactured since then .

There’s a thing known as Glock Leg for a reason……know what I’m saying ?

1shot1kill

What’s “Glock leg” ?? Is that how this generation says that’s my “good leg”?? That’s pretty clever ! It’s like saying here let me switch to my Glock leg… it’s my go to leg… the one I rely on.

L. Watson

1shot1kill, wow !!!!! NO dude, “Glock Leg” is the problem that many Glock owners (both Police and civilians) experience when their Glock firearm goes off accidentally and shoot them in the leg that the holster is attached to, or the leg of the pants pocket that it’s being carried in !!!! It is a common, but very embarrassing problem, especially for cops. The main reason is that Glocks sold in America DON’T have a manual safety !!!!!! Total INSANITY !!!!!! You can get Glock pistols sold in Europe with a manual safety, so I don’t know why we don’t demand… Read more »

Rusty yates

You are absolutely correct about pistols without safeties. I understand double action handguns with no safety but all striker fired pistols should have an external safety

Mike5516

Look I hate glock but if you need a manual safety in order to not shoot yourself…your an idiot. Plain and simple. And p320s can barely stay in battery so why should I respect them? I’ll just stay with my M&P’s

L. Watson

Ozzy, you are blissfully IGNORANT !!!!! The military versions (M17 and M18) of the Sig Sauer P320 DID have the drop safety issue, and Sig reportedly fixed it !!!!!!! I still don’t trust it !!!!! Sig has had several quality control issues recently with NOT only the P320, but also the P365. I admired prior Sig products, but I was NEVER really a fan. To me, MOST of their guns are UGLY and over priced !!!!!

Steven Kraus

Glock has had issues to maybe not as bad as sig but they had to fix a bunch of gen 4 guns. Haven’t heard much about the 5th gen. All companies make mistakes. As long as they are corrected and they back them up they are good to go. Glock is definitely not infallible. That said they are an excellent firearm to

Tanfoglio Fanboy

Sig corrected then problem only after being forced to. Hell, their correction didn’t even acknowledge that it was a problem. The issue is with how they responded. The first denied it was an issue, lied about the extent of the issue, then shadily concealed the fix as an “upgrade”. The kicker is they knew about the drop safe issues before the firearms community found out about it. They did nothing to fix a known and serious safety issue until tons of people became outraged about it. So by your previous statement, I guess that means Sig as a company is… Read more »

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black !
I’m a lot of things ,but ignorant is not one of them; I couldn’t care less if you “trust” the P320.

Wild Bill

Attention! Attention! This just in. Sig Sauer is pleased to announce that the Bixby, Minnesota police department has transitioned to the P320, etc. etc. I think that Sig is using the logical fallacy known as the “Bandwagon” technique. I think that we were warned about the “Bandwagon” technique in sixth grade.

Matthew Brady

Lloyd Harbor?? It’s a sleepy little exclusive village. Two J-walkers is a crime wave. It’s not a question of firepower, it’s more in-holster-intimidation!

Craig

What a waste. NYPD barely train and use a 12 pound Glock trigger. Back in the 1990s, a bank was robbed in NY. First person on the scene was a policewoman. She fire 37 rounds and managed to kill the bank president. Robbers got away. Few, DARN few, police know how to fire a gun. Their knowledge of firearms, in general, is even worse. My wife, a Deputy Sheriff and Police Firearms Instructor, was always amazed at the lack of proficiency and knowledge of the police who carry a firearm. Worse is, if my wife shot a perfect 300, she… Read more »

You are full of shit.

F. Smyth

No he’s not. I sat next to a police officer the other day at a board meeting, saw he was open-carrying a Glock. I asked if it was a G23. He said it was s G27 which I knew was wrong because it was much larger. I told him it looked too big to be a G27 so he unholstered it and turns out it was a G19.

Wow

Josh Ellis

Sig Owns. Glock boys so upset. Now comments from a Glock fan claiming that Sig is Bandwagon. Hilarious and ironic.

Wild Bill

@Josh E. That is not what was meant, at all. It is Sig’s Advertising deptment that was using the “Bandwagon” technique, in an attempt to increase sales.

Bobby A.

I regularly go to the local police department range with a couple friends who are officers. I see many of them are bad shots and not very proficient at handling the weapon either.
Part of that may be due to the fact they get about 100 rounds of practice ammo a year, the rest they buy themselves.
