Thinking back, I think Sig sent him a replacement pistol, so since different serial number, Sig handled via FFL.

Yep.  A full replacement requires all the PTA and Registration BS -- so an FFL is required to accomplish the transfer.

Here's the reply i received from Sig customer service.

She pretty much repeated what I recommended.  Contact the place you're shipping it to BEFORE you send it, and they will/may be able to help you do everything without using a local FFL.

Thank you for contacting Sig Sauer.
 
We have a contract with FedEx, which allows us to ship firearms. So long
as you are contacting us first to coordinate any repairs or in-house service,
we are able to ship back to your residential address signature required. If
you are not someone that is home during the day to accept a delivery
signature required, you would need to use a dealer/FFL.
 
Hope this helps to clarify.

Sig shipped my P320 direct to me after the voluntary upgrade to replace the trigger after reports of drop-firing.

They provided me a label to have it shipped via FedEx, and FedEx returned it TO MY HOME.

An adult needs to sign for it.

How long ago was this? FedEx site now says only FFL can ship handguns

Since there's no ownership transfer taking place, the FFL doing the work can ship directly to you.  It'll be shipped with service options that require an adult signature upon delivery.

Once you decide on who you want to do the work, that company ought to be able to answer most of these questions for you.  They might have a policy to only ship back to the original sender's address -- to cover their butts.  it's a good thing to ask them.

Awesome thanks again for helping me with all my questions. I know I probably should of emailed them, but they may not know our local laws but oh well you been really informative.

Our local laws only cause major headaches if the product being shipped isn't legal in HI.

As long as you registered the gun with your local PD, that's all you need locally.  Everything else is up to federal laws, ATF rules and the shippers' policies.

You already have ownership of that registered firearm.  As long as you comply with the above law, rules and policies, there's nothing the state should be involved in.
