The FBI has released a report on the P320 going off on its own. PDF warning.
Interesting, if dry, reading.
The conclusion is that it can go off by itself if everything lines up correctly, and that can happen during a normal day's duty for an officer.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
ReplyDeleteIf SiG doubles down, hails of derisive laughter.
If they pull it, legions of ambulance chasers with fresh lawsuits in hand.
I think they should commit to the comedy, rename it the SiG 180, and tell people it's in honor of it being able to shoot the owner in his own six o'clock.
I wonder when SiG first found out about the ND from dropping or touching or looking crosswise at one. And now I wonder if there's a shredding party at corporate going on right now.
ReplyDeleteI look at my Springfield XDS in .40SW and though it's much maligned in both the pistol and the caliber, I've never had an ND with it. Even when I fired off over 500 rounds at one session. I had 2 issues with it, which were easy to clear, both probably linked to the firing range's ammo that you had to buy to shoot there (it was reloaded ammo and cost about the same as brand new ammo from Walmart, but you couldn't shoot as a non-member not-range ammo or something.)
