There's a video of a plain clothes police officer getting out is a car and his p320 fires. It's not a high quality video but the guy just exits the back of a car and his holstered gun fires

Probably not. Are they not using the thumb saftey variant/M17?  If I won a raffle or something and had my pick of 320s, that is what I'd choose.

Quoted:

+ P320 has a ledge to block the striker

+ P320 has a detent that retains the striker

- P320 trigger retracts those safeties with very little movement

- P320 striker is always fully tensioned

Quoted:
Maybe they should go back to double action revolvers, ha

Quoted:


Police had MORE NDs when we issued DA revolvers.  Training up in to the 1990's advocated "staging" the trigger on the draw.

Quoted:
Has a single 320 that’s claimed to have just gone off ever been able to have the issue replicated?

Quoted:
The important question is why are all these municipal police departments having issues where Texas DPS has purchased over 4000 P320's, of which 2800 are carried by uniformed Troopers, and no issues?

I keep repeating myself. The P320 will not fire without the trigger being pulled.

Quoted:
In the article they site no trigger tab safety being the problem. Ok so which is it? Did it spontaneously fire or was the trigger pulled.

Also doesn't Sig offer the 320 in both a safety and non safety version? Also why aren't NDs happening left and right at the Sig Academy? I've been there many times and never heard of or saw anyone have an ND which seems odd because their class loaner guns are pretty beat to shit and used every day.

Quoted:
Am I Nb4 all the Sig retards frothing at the mouth in defense of their shitty flawed design abortion of a pistol?

Quoted:
I wouldn’t own one and I own SIGs. They should’ve just stayed with the tried and true (and safe) SP2022 and developed it further. Dumb.

Quoted:



I have a P229 and a P320. That P320 is extremely innovative. The FCU being the firearm, that almost single action trigger pull. And my example is very accurate.

That said, I would not load it with a round in the chamber, and stick it in an inside the waistband holster and carry it. Fuck no.

Until I finish vetting my newest Dagger, it's my nightstand pistol. The Dagger will replace it eventually.

Quoted:
@SteveH still no links to this repeatable discharging?

Quoted:
Mine shot me through the nightstand drawer.  Crazy.  These things are the debil!

@StevenH

Why did the Glock dingus not prevent Glock Leg?

Quoted:


I know you’ve already seen videos of sigs discharging without anything touching the trigger. I know you also discount them because some parts were changed later in some of the affected guns

Quoted:
Shitty holsters and poor wpns handling.  

The .mil carries them worldwide daily with no problems.

The USAF doesn’t use the safety so don’t state that is a difference.

Quoted:


You’ve also seen videos of the 320 firing when dropped or struck with a hard object. Glocks use a trigger safety to prevent this. Sig tried to tried to “fix” it by replacing the triggers of some (not all affected) 320s.

Why you playing ignorant? You’re better informed than this

Quoted:


No mechanical device will prevent all stupidity, obviously.

Is this true?

One of America’s most popular handguns is allegedly firing on its own, leaving dozens of cops injured: suit

One of America’s most popular guns is a “ticking time bomb” that allegedly fires spontaneously and has injured dozens of cops.

The SIG Sauer P320 semi-automatic handgun is used by some 1,000 law enforcement agencies from the local to the federal level, as well as being a popular civilian purchase.

But its manufacturer is facing a slew of lawsuits alleging that it can fire even when holstered, even when the trigger isn’t pulled, and even when it is just sitting at rest, lawyers allege.

According to the suits against SIG Sauer, some 150 people claim to have suffered injuries, or frightening near misses, when their department-issued P320 went off on its own.

One law enforcement source told The Post, “The P320 isn’t just a gun, it’s a ticking time bomb.”

And one of the attorneys handling the many cases calls the P320 “America’s most dangerously defective gun.”

The Sig Sauer company, based in Newington, New Hampshire, did not respond to requests for comment.

The cases center on the P320 not having an external manual safety, known as a tab trigger. Attorneys bringing the cases say it is a crucial design flaw that makes the gun liable to fire spontaneously, with disastrous consequences. They say that although nobody has been killed, many have been injured.

Those include Sgt. Ashley Catatao, 35, a single mother of a young son and an officer in the Somerville, Mass., Police Department.

The 12-year veteran was beginning a typical night shift patrol — 4 p.m. to midnight — in the sector cruiser on April 6, 2022, as the third-most senior officer on the block.

She parked her car and walked toward her cruiser, “when I heard a loud bang and I felt this sharp pain in my upper right thigh,” she told The Post.

Her immediate thought was, “’Someone has shot me,’ and I tried to run for cover, and as I started to run, I looked down and I saw that there was a hole in my pants.”

But there was nobody trying to gun her down: Instead, she had been wounded from a bullet fired from her holstered service gun, a SIG Sauer P320. “I never would have expected that my own gun would go off and shoot me,” she said.

The startling episode was captured in black and white video by a police security camera that overlooked the lot.

Sgt. Michael Colwell was 31, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, when he went through the
police academy in 2009 and joined the Troy, New York, Police Department.

His uncle was a retired K9 officer and always had great law enforcement stories to tell, so “police work was something I was kind of interested in, and I decided to give it a shot,” Colwell told The Post.

At the academy, he scored well, even winning an award for his shooting skill. “That was pretty neat to get that recognition,” he says, “to have that accolade.”

He was always a “patrol guy” and was promoted to sergeant in 2015. And in all that time, he had never shot anyone or been shot at.

That is until June 2, 2021, on the range when he was shot, like Catatao, by his SIG Sauer P320.

“I had holstered my duty weapon, tucked it away when we heard a pop. We knew it was a gun that went off and we didn’t know if it was another officer participating in the [range practice] scenario,” he said.

“The next thing, the firearms instructor who was monitoring looked at me and said, ‘Is that your gun? Are
you hit?’

“I didn’t know. And then with disbelief and adrenaline rushing through me, I realized that a bullet kind of came crushing through my leg, and sure enough, there was a hole in my pants and that’s when the reality and panic set in on my part because the hole wasn’t there when I started the day.”

Catatao and Colwell are just two of the 82 cases, most of them involving law enforcement, being brought by personal injury attorney Robert Zimmerman, with the Philadelphia law firm Saltz Mongeluzzi Barrett and Bendesky. He has filed 52 cases and another 30 are being prepared.
