Try it either of these ways.

The current book way to do it is as follows: Take trigger bar in hand, unattached to FCU, and connect the end of the spring. Now attached the hook end to the frame and rotate the trigger bar into position. Attached trigger and proceed on. I'm not sure anybody actually does it this way.

I do it the old way, and have done hundreds of times. It's the inverse of the removal instruction which is as follows: Turn the FCU upside down, with the trigger bar side facing away, rotate the spring away from you to the horizontal position. Gently push spring back toward your body and remove hook from the frame.

To reinstall I just do that in reverse, attach to the trigger bar and slip the hook back into the frame while the spring is horizontal. Can be done without any tools (which is how they used to teach it) but after a few hundred times I use a small needle nose pliers to assist the hook into position but use zero force to do so.

Yikes! Don't do that (re-bend). You don't need any tools to take that spring off, or reinstall. Sig's, one day, 320 armorer's class is held multiple times a year here in Texas. Worth your time:

I had the same thoughts as you on the competition shooter. So you say the gun when off when you were re-holstering? Hmmm, didn't see any zebras out here on the range with us.

As to the various LEO incidents, excluding the already litigated pre 2018 drop issue, nobody ever wants to admit they were finger ****ing their gun.

Yes, and the M17/M18 never had the issue the commercial 320 side corrected in 2017.

The P320 is a safe gun. The 'drop issue' was corrected in 2017. This detective's gun is a post 2017 gun. From the picture, it's either an X model or more likely a PRO LE model. What was happening in that purse we cannot know. However, it didn't go 'bang' without some sort of external force being applied to the trigger.

My day job is selling guns to officers, mostly Sigs, and can confidently say I've handled and worked on more 320s than anybody in the south Texas region. Next year I'll be renewing my 320 armorer's certification for the 3rd time.

I try not to have biases for or against any brand, but the 320 is as solid a system as any other on the market.

And as much as I hate to argue with TAM (good to see you posting) "the specifications of which seemed deliberately skewed in favor of the Sig from the get-go". I would instead say that Sig built a gun that adhered to the contract specification. Glock, to their detriment, thought the name Glock could let them get away with not submitting a gun to spec.

She's pictured with w/ a full size P320 X or PRO in a Serpa holster with a big paddle. That's a large holster, fairly weighty firearm shoved into a purse with an easy to release retention holster.
