More than 100 people allege that their P320 pistols discharged when they did not pull the trigger, an eight-month investigation by The Washington Post and The Trace has found. At least 80 people were wounded in the shootings, which date to 2016.
Were they where @Kirk Freeman goes to train? They seem to have a record of firearms spontaneously discharging.

I'm proud of you for this joke. Well done you magnificent bastard.Alec Baldwin approves.
I have now carried a 320 for 2 years? now.“A variant of the weapon is the standard-issue sidearm for every branch of the U.S. military. Since the gun’s introduction to the commercial market in 2014, manufacturer SIG Sauer has sold the P320 to hundreds of thousands of civilians, and it has been used by officers at more than a thousand law enforcement agencies across the nation, court records show.”
This many in circulation and ~100 plaintiffs, most of which admit they were handling the gun in some way at the time it went off. Oh, and neither lawyers for the defense nor law enforcement agencies have been able to replicate it in a controlled setting.
Finally, the best claim, “But two years later, as he inspected the weapon for a chambered round, it fired a bullet through his hand, Winningham said.” So either the gun somehow discharges while out of battery or he just randomly points the gun at his hand when he looks at the loaded chamber indicator.
Smells like BS to me…
I have two and I have had an issue with one of them. Want to know the funny thing? Sig failed to install the pivot pin in the FCU that lifts the striker safety disconnect. It would still raise, just not as high as it needs to fire. I have first hand knowledge that the striker safety works.I have now carried a 320 for 2 years? now.
Ive dropped it a few times along the way, its never discharged without my booger hook on the bang switch.
I have a few of them.
No powder burns or residue?Well if the WaPo was involved in the story…
What?Were they where @Kirk Freeman goes to train? They seem to have a record of firearms spontaneously discharging.
Haven't you heard the story of the 870?What?
The slamfire at Shootrite during one handed drills?Haven't you heard the story of the 870?
I thought it fired without touching the trigger? Any time I've slamfired a pump shotgun, I've held the trigger down.The slamfire at Shootrite during one handed drills?
That was a slamfire. It did not go off on it's own.
C’mon man up and start carrying one without a safety!I have now carried a 320 for 2 years? now.

Weapon was on safe and trigger was not touched. I was using my left hand only, as I pulled the foreend forward the weapon discharged.I thought it fired without touching the trigger? Any time I've slamfired a pump shotgun, I've held the trigger down.
