First up, Wyoming Gun Project does an update to answer some questions. This may or may not be related to one of the root causes of the failure, but this is a design problem either way.
Next, Protraband updates us on his recent findings concerning actions by the AF after the airmen was shot by laying his Sig P320 down on a table.
Next, Liberty Doll updates us on recent leaked documents from Sig lawyers. It does appear, after all, that there was a failure modes and effects analysis, and it isn’t good. Here are the source document(s).
Next, some clarifying (and bracing) information.
Finally, here is a list with linked documents that outlines some of the Sig P320 incidents. At this point, if you’re carrying a Sig P320 (especially IWB and Appendix carry), I don’t think you’re really thinking through this thing.

Sig operates just like the government. Never admit you made a mistake and always double down on failure.
I just examined all of my Glock pistols as they are the only striker fired pistols I own. None of them have the sloppy slide tolerances of the P320. In fact my Colt Commander, very old with many rounds through it, has more slide play than the Glocks and not even close to the P320.
