DHS Memo Requires ICE Agents to Stop Carrying Certain Sig Sauer Service Weapons, Switch to Glock

AWR Hawkins 10 Jul 2025
2:21

A memo from Department of Homeland Security Deputy Director Madison D. Sheahan directs Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Authorized Officers to shift from certain Sig Sauer P320 handguns to Glock.

The memo, dated July 9, 2025, and obtained by Breitbart News, says ICE Authorized Officers “will no longer be authorized to carry all models of the SIG Sauer P320 pistols.”

The memo “also directs the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs to purchase, as soon as practical, replacement duty handguns for currently affected ICE Authorized Officers, including those scheduled to be issued in the near term, and to provide a proposed plan within 10 calendar days to, among other items, supply an agency-issued Glock 19 MOS pistol and related equipment, to include a micro red dot sight, weapon mounted light, duty holster, and concealed carry holster, to all ICE Authorized Officers moving forward.”

A federal agent speaking on condition of anonymity to Breitbart News confirmed the authenticity of the memo.

Another source from a federal agency told Breitbart News the switch from certain P320s to a Glock pistol is supposed to occur in October.

The DHS memo switching from some SIG Sauer P320 pistols comes at a time when the P320 has been singled out in numerous lawsuits.

One key piece of reportage missing from the story:

Thanks!  The reporting at Breitbart is getting shoddy...

Yes indeed it is an absolute concern.  After so many positive reviews and watching many videos I ordered mine months in advanced. I was excited to finally pick it up and then when I realized that there was no safety feature on it and with all the negative reports that came out almost immediately after I received mine, I'm afraid to use it. It's still in the box and it's been in that box for years.   In fact I really need to sell the darn thing.

I think the only Sig I have ever used was a P320 full size in .40 cal.
Can't think of what the heck would be wrong with that. That was a good gun.

I also have a .40 cal barrel for my P229 and I like shooting both.

Federal judge issues key ruling against gun maker Sig Sauer in widow's lawsuit

A lawsuit filed by a widow against weapons manufacturer Sig Sauer accusing it of being responsible for the death of her husband will continue in state court, a federal judge ruled this week.

On Monday, Judge Anita Brody of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania sent the matter back to where it started, the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County. Brody rejected Sig Sauer's argument that the case should have been heard in federal court due to widow Mariya Gomelskaya being from Pennsylvania. The company is based in New Hampshire and incorporated in Delaware. ...................

..................The firm says it represents "more than 100 P320 victims injured by Sig Sauer’s first striker-fired (in contrast to a traditional hammer) pistol" and alleges that "Sig Sauer is the only gunmaker to make a mass-produced sidearm that lacks an external safety to guard against unintended discharges.".............
