The investigation revealed the use of an incorrect holster not designed for a [SIG] P320, said the statement, which was released Friday and posted to a U.S. online pro-industry publication, Soldier Systems. Such being the case, there very well may BE in inherent design flaw in the gun; We shouldnt just cast the thought aside as being beyond consideration and insist on blaming the problem on operator error.. The trigger bar has to push up on it, for it to release. If this were a car, a phone, a refrigerator, it would have been recalled long ago. It may be a rotten trigger, but it does highlight the fact it has a much lighter trigger compared to classic semi-autos and revolvers. First off, no joke on me. The weapon had a history of going off unexpectedly when it was dropped at a certain angle. How many times did Shatner actually watch it? While good firearms training and practices among law enforcement officers is certainly the case much of the time, weve seen far too many instances over the years of un-safe or downright dangerous practices by allegedly highly trained individuals to apply that kind of blanket endorsement to all cops or alphabet agency employees. He wasnt aware of it until contacted earlier this week by CBC News and suggested it was relevant in ongoing litigation in the U.S. We look forward to reviewing the incident in discovery in the United States, he said Friday. Not too long after they sold a pistol to the public and United States military thats not even DROP SAFE?!? The claim basically boils down to the notion that in normal, unconcerning operation, a foreign body entered the striker body. A fine of up to $10,000. By hoping Sig gets taken down for the P320, theyre actually setting up their own pet brand to be the next on the chopping block. In 1982 the G17 hit the market and in 1983 they gave 30,000 pistols to the Austrian military at cost. A lot like carrying a cocked and locked 1911 but with the safety off. That is the point of most of the video at the end of the article. Not much detail is provided in any of those other claimed incidents, but a few stand out. Theyre cheering for a noose around their own precious Glocks throat. Nope. For the moron Neanderthals of the Far Right who will scream its the operators fault and we do not give a shit about marketing more safer designed weapons, if such idiotic polices were followed for other consumer goods today we would not have safety glass, anti-lock breaks, back up safeties, child proof medicine caps and chemical bottles, back up cameras, kick back muzzles on chain saws and the list goes on and on. And many departments across the country have had to lower their standards for passing qualifications just to be able to hire on and keep officers.

I guess none got her the attention she wanted and a national coverage so she went in for the bang. SIG P320s were just the start and the P365 isnt far behind. Watching all these Glock fan boys drool over these lawsuits in their tribal brand-lust is like watching the talking heads on CNN announcing Trump lost the 2020 election.

Personally they should have gone with the Glock, its not for me but is a proven gun. I carry one in my front pocket routinely. Detective Brittney Hilton sues Sig Sauer after she says holstered P320 Not sure why it wont let me reply to you, but Ill reply to myself in the hope youll get it.

They cant even make claim to doing a twice a year qual. Its a novelty, its got issues! Canadian soldier wounded by accidental discharge used wrong holster: SIG Sauer Its also beyond debate that current production Sig quality is drastically inferior to what it once was, particularly the German made pieces.

In a world of "innovative" guns, this truly is an innovated design and a step in the right direction for the future of pistols. TAMPA, Fla., July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A 30-year veteran law enforcement officer with the Tampa Police Department (TPD) today filed a lawsuit against Sig Sauer, Inc., the maker of his. It provides another example of how the gun free zone purportedly keeps people safe by not only keeping guns away, but by requiring more discharges nearby. The SIG P320 has been the subject of numerous lawsuits, including one class action case, in the U.S. over injuries sustained because of accidental discharges. Sig Sauer's P320 is widely used by police departments across the country, and is a big seller in the civilian market, with about half a million sold nationwide. The design was incorporated from Bruce Grays trigger kit around the time of the original drop safety fix. Seems kind of like a Sig apologist article. To give you an example of early self-propelled lawn mowers if you lost your grip on the handles the mower would not shut off and it would take off on its own right down the street all by itself. But now, P320 is the subject. Sig fanboys are almost as bad as Glock fanboys. I know there are those who will vehemently disagree with me, and even disparage me but I have been following this issue from early on, BUT I recall CLEARLY that there have been dozens and dozens of discharges that could not be attributed to operator error and people experiencing these uncommanded discharges both before AND after getting the trigger upgrade.

NEWINGTON - A Hillsboro man is suing Newington gunmaker Sig Sauer alleging his Sig P320 pistol fired, without him pulling the trigger, causing a bullet to be discharged into his thigh. Glock is being sued too, because once loaded and a round is chambered, it also has a much lighter trigger than a DA/SA. The military has found that the pistol has a tendency to eject live rounds among other issues. As a result, the P320s were withdrawn from service, leaving the JTF-2 with their older P226s. If it was so bad, why did the US Marines, who had the Glock, drop it in favor of the carry sized P320, the M18? Sound familiar? Likewise, having a finger in the trigger-guard, or a clothing draw-string, or a retention strap, or some other object, when holstering the gun exonerates the maker, as the gun is firing with a trigger press of sufficient energy and stroke as designed. Sig Sauer P220 Super Match. Happy with my old S&W revolvers, 3rd Gen S&W pistols,1911s and a slew of P226s. This is why we now have back up safeties on garden tractors and riding lawn mowers.
