WARNING - LOCKING DEVICES

This firearm was originally sold with a key­operated locking device. While it can help
provide secure storage for your unloaded
firearm, any locking device can fail. All guns
are designed to fire if they are loaded and
the trigger is pulled. Therefore, never install
the locking device inside the trigger guard or
in any way that makes it possible to pull the
trigger! Do not leave the keys in the lock.

The ultimate responsibility for secure storage
of any firearm must depend upon its owner
and his or her individual circumstances.
Firearms should be stored unloaded, in
a secure location, separate from their
ammunition.

NEVER INSTALL THE
LOCKING DEVICE INSIDE
THE TRIGGER GUARD

To maximize effectiveness and reduce the chances of malfunction or damage
to a firearm, ALWAYS refer to the locking device’s manufacturer directions for
installation and removal of the device.

FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS WEAPONS

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN

THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY

BEFORE USING.

WARNING - ALTERATIONS

This product was designed to function properly in its original
condition. Alterations can make it unsafe. Do not alter
any part or add or substitute any parts or accessories not
manufactured by SIG SAUER, Inc. for this pistol.

DO NOT ALTER ANY GUN

www.sigsauer.com

1.0 Safety Rules

The safety warnings in this manual are important. By understanding the dangers
inherent in the use of any firearm, and by taking the precautions described herein,
you can experience a higher level of safety in the use of your pistol. Failure to
heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others, as well
as severe damage to the firearm or other property.

PISTOLS are classified as FIREARMS and are sold by SIG SAUER with the specific
understanding that we shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for
malfunctioning of the firearm, physical injury or property damage resulting in
whole or in part from:

• criminal or negligent discharge;

• improper or careless handling;

• unauthorized modifications;

• defective, improper, hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition;

• corrosion;

• neglect; or

• other influences beyond our direct and immediate control.

This limitation applies regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis
of contract, negligence, or strict liability (including any failure to warn). Under
no circumstance shall SIG SAUER, Inc. be liable for incidental or consequential
damages, such as loss of use of property, commercial loss, and loss of earnings
or profits.

1.1 Protect Your Eyes and Ears

Always wear safety glasses that meet the requirements of American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 and ear plugs or “earmuff” type protectors
whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that persons close to you
are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas,
carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris that may emanate
occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without ear protection, repeated
exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss.

2.0 Mechanical Characteristics and Weapon
Theory

2.1 Weapon Description

2.1.1. General

The SIG SAUER P320 pistol is a modern handgun incorporating the latest technical
advances in weapon design for military, law enforcement and sporting use. The P320
is a mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistol with semi-automatic reloading.
Firing takes place with each pull of the trigger until the magazine is empty. The slide
remains open after the last round has been fired from the magazine.

2.1.2 Principal Features

The automatic striker assembly lock and double-action trigger ensure safe
carrying of the weapon and provide instant readiness without actuating a manual
safety.

Distinctive high-contrast sights, in conjunction with the ergonomically correct
grip, ensure rapid target acquisition and engagement, even under poor lighting
conditions.

Interchangeable grip modules of different sizes allow for optimal adaptation of the
weapon to the individual user.

The magazine catch can easily be reconfigured for left or right-hand operation. All
other operating controls are designed so they can be operated from either side.

A Picatinny rail is integrated into the grip module, facilitating the easy attachment of
industry standard tactical accessories.

The closed design of the pistol helps keep dirt and other debris from entering the
pistol, ensuring proper function in harsh environmental conditions.

The P320 pistol is a double-action only (DAO) design.

3.0 Ammunition

1. Use only high-quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use
cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges.
Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto
cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant
or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition
malfunctions. Only use ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is
chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never
attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber.

2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or other non-standard
ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded
ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and
serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition that
complies with the industry performance standards established by the Sporting
Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI) of the United States
or ammunition manufactured to military specifications.

WARNING – AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGE)

NOTICE

SIG SAUER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR
INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT
OF, THE USE IN ANY SIG SAUER FIREARM OF FAULTY, NON-STANDARD,
“REMANUFACTURED” HAND-LOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR CARTRIDGES
OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.

14

www.sigsauer.com

3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to
others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure inside the
chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions
in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges, or
defectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded, or
damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage
to the firearm and personal injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure
propellant gas within the firearm’s mechanism.

4. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible obstruction
whenever:

• You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in, chambering a cartridge

• A cartridge misfires (does not go off)

• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case

• Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in the
mechanism

• A shot sounds weak or abnormal. In such cases it is possible that a bullet
is lodged partway down the barrel. Firing a subsequent bullet into the
obstructed barrel can wreck the firearm and cause serious injury to the
shooter or to bystanders

5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:

• If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or
if the powder fails to ignite (ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push
the bullet out of the cartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficient
energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel).

• If the bullet is not properly seated in the cartridge case. When such a
cartridge is extracted from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may
be left behind in the bore at the point where the rifling begins. Subsequent
chambering of another cartridge may push the first bullet further into the
bore.

www.sigsauer.com

15

6. If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel,

immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It is not sufficient to
merely look in the chamber.

A bullet may be lodged some distance down the barrel where it cannot easily be
seen.

WARNING – LODGED BULLET

IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR ONE FROM WHICH
THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM, AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

If the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder
grains from the bore, chamber, and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the
bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, send the firearm to
SIG SAUER.

7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete

chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is
true of cartridges that are damaged or deformed.

8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or

preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction between
cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning, and
subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure.

9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid

excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially where it may
get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants, in particular,
can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly penetrative
lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause deterioration of the
propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites,
there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.

WARNING - AMMUNITION

Death, serious injury, and damage can result
from the use of wrong ammunition, bore
obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect
cartridge components. Always wear shooting
glasses and hearing protectors.

IMPROPER AMMUNITION DESTROYS GUNS

WARNING - LEAD EXPOSURE

Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,
cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may
result in exposure to lead and other substances
known to the state of California to cause birth
defects, reproductive harm, and other serious
physical injury. Maintain
adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands
thoroughly after exposure.

SHOOTING OR CLEANING GUNS MAY EXPOSE YOU TO LEAD

WARNING – LOADED PISTOL

The pistol is now loaded and ready to fire.

Always make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to
load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle,building, or other confined space
(except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no
completely safe direction to point the firearm; if an accidental discharge occurs,
there is great risk of bodily injury or property damage. Before loading, always
clean all grease and oil from the bore and chamber, and check to be certain that
no obstruction is in the barrel. Any foreign matter in the barrel could result in a
bulged or burst barrel or other damage to the firearm, and could cause serious
injury to the shooter or to others.

5.0 Firing

WARNING – TRIGGER

DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE ACTUALLY READY TO FIRE THE PISTOL.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger away from the trigger
when cocking any firearm.

Never fire any firearm with your finger, hand, face, or other part of your body
over or adjacent to the ejection port, or in any position where you may be struck
by reciprocating movement of the breech. Both the ejection of empty cartridge
cases and the movement of the breech are part of the normal operating cycle
of firearms, and pose no safety hazard to the shooter if the firearm is held in a
normal grip and fired at arm’s length.

Never allow other persons to stand beside you where they might be struck by
an ejected cartridge case. The case is hot, and may be ejected with sufficient
force to cause a burn, cut, or other injury. Wear safety glasses to protect eyes.
Make certain there is a clear, unobstructed path for safe ejection of the fired
case. Remember, the case may bounce off a hard object nearby and strike you or
someone else.

WARNING – MALFUNCTION

If, while shooting, your firearm develops a mechanical malfunction or binding,
or “spits” powder/gas, or if a cartridge primer is punctured, or a cartridge
case is bulged or ruptured, or if the report on firing does not sound quite right,
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY! It may be dangerous to continue. UNLOAD THE
FIREARM – DO NOT try “one more shot.” Take the firearm and the ammunition to
a gunsmith for examination.

22

www.sigsauer.com

5.1 Clearing a Jam

While shooting any firearm, an unfired cartridge or fired cartridge case may
occasionally become jammed between the slide and the barrel. WHILE KEEPING
THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, clear the jam as follows:

1. Remove the magazine, then

2. Pull back the slide and lock it to the rear by pushing up on the slide catch lever.

3. The jammed cartridge or case now can be removed by shaking it out or by
picking it out.

WARNING – HANDLING

The slide opens and shuts quickly while firing.
Keep face and hands away from it. Hot brass
and powder gas is ejected quickly and can burn
you. Always wear safety glasses and hearing
protectors.

SLIDE OPENS FAST – HOT BRASS EJECTED

WARNING – DROPPED PISTOL

If dropped, the pistol may fire. Keep the cham­ber empty unless actually firing!

ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED

remain locked to the rear. If firing is to continue, reload the pistol (see section 4.4
“Reloading During Shooting”).

24

www.sigsauer.com

WARNING – UNLOADING

Removing cartridges from the magazine does not prevent the pistol from being
fired! When there is a cartridge in the chamber, the cartridge will discharge if the
trigger is pulled. It is absolutely essential for the user to know how to completely
unload the pistol. “Completely” means emptying the magazine and removing a
chambered cartridge.

Never assume that any gun is unloaded until you have personally checked it, visu­ally and physically!

After every shooting practice, make a final check to be certain the firearm is
unloaded before leaving the range.

WARNING – UNLOADING

Removing cartridges from the
magazine does not prevent
the pistol from being fired!
When there is a cartridge in
the chamber, the cartridge
will discharge if the trigger
is pulled. It is absolutely es­sential for the user to know
how to completely unload the
pistol. “Completely” means
emptying the magazine
and removing a chambered
cartridge.

7.0 Procedures in Case of Malfunction (“Jam”)

Follow the malfunction mitigation procedures if:

• You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber

• A cartridge does not go off

• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case

• You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism

• A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal

WARNING – JAM

LIVE ROUND JAM MAY NOT EJECT.

Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction during firing:

1. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger.

2. Remove and secure the magazine.

3. Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge case in or near the
chamber. Visually and manually inspect the chamber.

4. If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip your pistol and
check to see if the barrel is blocked. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore, return
the pistol to SIG SAUER (see section 12.3 “Shipping Firearms for Repair”).

WARNING – JAM

IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING
ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A CARTRIDGE
FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.

WARNING – JAMS

If your pistol stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire
or jam), remove the round immediately. If you cannot remove the round within
10 seconds, remove the magazine and wait at least 15 minutes with the pistol
pointing in a safe direction. This way, neither the user nor any other person would
be injured by the possibility of a round “cooking-off” (a round detonating due to
the heat of the barrel). Keep your face away from the ejection port while clearing
a hot chamber.

7.2 Minimizing Malfunctions (“Jams”)

Malfunctions can largely be avoided by cleaning the pistol (see section 8.3 “Clean­ing the Pistol”).

• After each firing session

• Whenever a buildup of firing residue is suspected

• Whenever the pistol is exposed to extreme environmental conditions (rain,
snow, freezing temperatures, etc.)

10.0 Sights

10.1 General Information

The SIG SAUER pistol is equipped with drift adjustable fixed sights which have
proven their worth under severe conditions. The sights consist of a rear sight and
a front sight blade, designed and dimensioned to ensure rapid target acquisition
even when visibility is poor.

WARNING – SIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Sight corrections should only be performed by someone with the necessary
knowledge – the pistol could become damaged.

10.2 Windage (Left/Right) Adjustment

Change windage by moving the rear sight either to the left or right in its dovetail.
When you do this, follow the rear sight rule: Move the rear sight in the direction
you want the group to go. Moving the rear sight 0.020” in the dovetail changes the
point of impact by approximately 3” at 25 yards.

Note: SIG SAUER has a
Sight Adjustment Tool
available that makes it
easier to adjust
and change sights.

Impact left of point of aim Impact low of point of aim

50

www.sigsauer.com

10.3 Elevation (Up/Down) Adjustment

There are different height combinations available for the front and rear sights.
The sights are numbered according to their height. You can change elevation by
changing either the rear or front sight. It’s easier if you change the rear sight
first. There are six rear sight heights available. Each rear sight change will move
the impact of the bullet approximately 2” at 25 yards. There are five front sight
heights available. Each front sight change will move the impact of the bullet ap­proximately 1” at 25 yards.

When changing sights, remember this rule: NUMBERS UP, GROUPS UP; NUMBERS
DOWN, GROUPS DOWN. This is true for both front & rear sights.

WARNING – SIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Sight corrections should ONLY be
performed on an unloaded firearm.
Manipulating the sights on a loaded
firearm could result in unintentional
discharge, causing injury or death.
Visually and physically confirm the
pistol is unloaded before making sight
adjustments.

DO NOT ADJUST THE SIGHTS ON
A LOADED FIREARM

11.0 Transportation and Storage

When transporting your firearm to and from shooting activities, keep it unloaded
for your safety and for the safety of others. When storing your firearm, keep it
separated from ammunition, under lock and key if possible, and out of the reach
of children and other inexperienced or unauthorized persons.

WARNING – STORAGE

Never place or store any firearm
in such a manner that it may be
dislodged. Firearms should always be
stored securely and unloaded, away
from children and other unauthorized
users. Use the locking device originally
supplied with this firearm for storage.
The use of a locking device or safety
lock is only one aspect of responsible
firearms storage. For increased safety,
firearms should be stored unloaded
and locked in a location that is both
separate from their ammunition and
inaccessible to children and any other
unauthorized person.

15.0 THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS

HANDLING

1. ALWAYS treat every gun as if it were loaded.

2. ALWAYS be sure the barrel is clear of any obstruction.

3. ALWAYS be sure of your backstop, what lies beyond, and the safety of by-

standers before you shoot.

4. ALWAYS use clean, dry, original factory-made ammunition of the proper type

and caliber for your gun.

5. ALWAYS wear ear protection and safety glasses when shooting.

6. ALWAYS carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle if

you fall or stumble.

7. NEVER shoot at a flat surface or water.

8. DO NOT leave an unattended gun loaded. Guns and ammunition should be

stored separately, locked if possible, beyond the reach of children, careless
adults, and unauthorized users.

9. NEVER allow your firearm to be used by anyone who has not read and under-

stood this operator’s manual.

10. DO NOT point any gun, loaded or unloaded, at any undesired target.

11. NEVER fire your rifle near an animal unless it is trained to accept the noise: an

animal’s startled reaction could injure it or cause an accident.

12. NEVER drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs before or during shooting, as

your vision and judgment could be seriously impaired, making your gun handling
unsafe.
