NOTE:
The International Defensive Pistol Association, Inc. (IDPA), in response to numerous reports and videos, is immediately prohibiting the use of the SIG Sauer P320 in all of its variants from any competition or event under the name of IDPA. All other SIG Sauer models may be used in the division appropriate for their configuration.
The goal of IDPA is safety first for our members, competitors, staff, and spectators, and all others associated with any IDPA event. While we have no direct knowledge of the potential technical defect of the weapon system, the volume of ranges, organizations, and military units declaring a problem has made it too visible to deny. We will re-evaluate this decision in the future if new credible information emerges.
“IDPA is committed to maintaining a fair, competitive, and inclusive environment for all shooters,” said IDPA President Joyce Wilson. “Banning a particular firearm is the last thing we ever want to do as an organization, but the safety of our members and potential spectators has to come first.”
