I would rather play handball with the Devil himself because if you deal with the Devil he will tell you that you agreed to lose your soul for a big box full of millions in cash. Withe the P320 Sigs contract was $169.5 million, $103 million cheaper then Glock. Really? Remember also that with a handful of notable exceptions, modern firearms do not just go off, no matter what is later claimed by those who may be held responsible. The Glock fails on both counts. No picture for me. Would you? Sig, take this firearm off the market, and recall. The truth is the absolute WORST semi-autos that Sig, H&K, Walther, Beretta or Glock makes today are more reliable than the best semi-autos made 40 years ago, by far. It doesnt matter whether SIG is at fault or not. And have the dropping 320 go off? A holstered base P320 allegedly had a mysterious accidental discharge without pulling the trigger. My gun just went off! Charlton, headquartered in Victoria, B.C., for comment on its original story, but neither responded. With the redesign, you would have to implement a LOT of force to move the trigger backwards. People who had problems have been replacing them with Lightning Strike SS ones. This is just blind greed using some careless doofus to sell a lie and cash in because a civil jury, like the average American voter, can be manipulated easily though emotion, tears and stories of anguish, pain and suffering at the foot of some super-rich evil corporations cold-blooded behest. They are plaintiffs versions of what they say happened. So it never had a history of a potential valid claim for ambulance chasers to work off of. And those are exactly the kinds of plaintiffs who happen to make up the vast majority of the lawsuits filed against SIG. Carrying a handgun in a purse, particularly one that isnt designed specifically to carry a firearm, is problematic at best. Later when he was driving he shifted his weight and this caused the trigger to be pushed back further and it went off and shot him and the bullet then also blew a big hole in the floor board of this truck. People of the Gun are probably familiar with the early problems the P320 had regarding drop safety. She didnt sue, but swore she would never own another Volvo again. Sep 20, 2021 613 571 Idaho. My elderly aunt drove her Volvo into a parked car, and the yard behind it, and the house behind that, while she was pressing the brake as hard as she could. Strangely the car kept accelerating, almost as if she were flooring the gas pedal. Pity that some of the most common reactions fall into two over simplistic categories: 1. And it doesnt take too much Googling to find plenty of reports of LEOs suing the Georgia company as well (see here, here, here, and here for just a few). And thats just my opinion. Just because someone shoots hyper-unrealistic 3 gun competition, subscribes to Recoil magazine and routinely watches their fave rave YouTube cult of personality channel shill for the latest company that paid him off doesnt make them a [emailprotected]$$. The sear cams it back a teeny bit. TTAG talked to Bagnell, who told us that he wants it to be known that he is not anti-gun and doesnt want to see more gun control laws in this country. Liberal, Conservative. On Nov. 5, 2020, a recently-purchased SIG Sauer P320 pistol went off unexpectedly at a training range in Dwyer Hill, outside of Ottawa. For instance theres Lieutenant Thomas Ahern who was was performing a routine function (test) of his P320 when it fired at him without any force towards the trigger, resulting in the bullet impacting his left thigh.. Especially since they farm it out to the lowest bidder. Once word of that got out there was an avalanche of sexual harassment lawsuits against Fox news. Give me a break. Thats why the US Marines have Sigs. A few Warbirds decloaking would make me very nervous if it wasnt sci-fi fantasy. First I have no problem with the Mk 25 or any other Sig thats metal. Whether or not the suits have merit. Keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. The 1911 had one added, the FN 1905 had one added in 1906. Even if it was an issue with the sear interface, there is still a firing pin safety that will not move unless the trigger is held firmly to the rear. I used to laugh at his bragging about how skilled he was with a weapon.. Its not credible to claim that people with this amount of training, this amount of skill are all shooting themselves.. It somehow moved to the hinges of the desk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsu6WsSQ2_g. Google Keith Slatowski, is he lying also? The clearest memory I have about the many people experiencing post-upgrade discharges is a cop who set his P320 on a table, and several seconds after letting go, IT DISCHARGED ON ITS OWN! Police Department, was wounded when his P320 duty gun discharged without a trigger pull while he was carrying it in a gym bag wrapped carefully with a cloth. Officer Collette was wounded in his left leg. TTAG talked to SIG Sauer about the P320 suits and the ABC reports. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. They've also been adopted as duty guns by law enforcement agencies across the country. It alleges that Walter Collette, Jr., a police officer with the Somerville (Mass.) That a pistol will be carried in a way it shouldnt (say, in a gym bag or a purse). The same should hold true for the insane marketing of pistols like the totally unsafe Glock. I am also very much a DS9 fan, best series overall. abprototype.com can add the manual safety as well as add the notches in the grip frame. They suck and Im awesome!, 2. This guy had been working at the LGS for over a decade and never had an AD or ND, he was the strictest when it came to safety. CBC News reached out to Sig Sauer and its Canadian distributor, M.D. Just 3 days ago, a Florida Corrections recruit killed herself by a negligent discharge during firearms training. In 2021 you would think a company would understand MIM metallurgy. saw the video, doesnt explain how it bypasses striker pin safety. 3. Good thing you werent serious, thatd be terr..uh.oops. None of the current lawsuits appear to be in any way related to the now-fixed drop safety issue and most, if not all of the allegations seem to involve upgraded pistols or those produced after the drop safety problem was identified by SIG. After watching a friend get killed by a Remington 700 by another friend and the ensuing fallout 31 years ago I decided that I didnt care if the P320 was fixed, it was getting sold. I continue to bet my life on them. Circumstances that explained those un-commanded discharges.. You have entered an incorrect email address! , 54 people all shooting themselves. But breaking news here, skippy. The guys at the LGS saw only one broken striker but it confirmed what the manager who had the P320 go off and my thoughts. LOL! Stupid marine, cop, citizen, its their fault. Theyre the only product that is not. It has nothing to do with Glock. A fellow kept his DA revolver in the desk. Companies stay silent Got a 40 SW P320 SC on my hip now, got one in 9mm within reach, so far neither has decided to trip the sear without my help. Everyone knows Glocks are the absolute pinnacle of perfection and have never had one single defect ever! The Collette suit, for example, lists 39 such discharges, all but five of which involved law enforcement officers. What exactly did Harrison mean by legal momentum? That isnt clear, but its easy to make an educated guess. They wouldnt have adopted it if was. First, keep in mind that allegations made in lawsuits are not statements of fact. Sig fanboys are almost as bad as Glock fanboys. The networks report didnt mention lawsuits filed by LEOs (or anyone else) against other gun makers claiming similar alleged design defects. Its a novelty, its got issues! The Moron engineer who decided to put that on the Glock should have been hung by his dirty balls. At least the Gorilla is still evolving while the Far Right proved to be an evolutionary dead end, one of natures mistakes. But hey, in ruthless, lawless, Capitalvania were life is considered cheap and expendable no one gives a shit, especially the Far Right that screams about abortions and then kills off the children that were not aborted with loaded guns laying around the house. It isnt the beginner woodworker who loses fingers. The linkage isnt, but the way the striker leg and sear face mate up, the two materials being MIM castings, the small camming action, etc. ABCs own hired consultant, who appears to have no dog in these fights, asserted that he could find no reasonable explanation for these claims and that he considers the upgraded P320 pistols safe for sale to law enforcement and the public. The second, longer version of the ABC story again included comments from Joshua Harrison, the consultant ABC hired to independently assess the P320. He probably had a double until it was over. BAM. The second accidental shooting happened after police supervisors internally raised questions about the safety of the SIG Sauer P320. One of the officers a few years ago was carrying his P320 in a P226 holster that he took a Dremel to make the P320 fit. The HK VP70 was made in 1970 when Gaston Glock was making curtain rods. You should always use a real holster, or carry it condition 3 or 4 if its off-body. Then without any extra effort, the normal trigger pull caused the tab on the drop safety to sheer off. He likens it to a bow-and-arrow, pulled taut. Thats SIGs term for a recall. It seems safe to assume that while SIG is coming up fast on the outside, GLOCK is still most likely the reigning champ in terms of the firearms most often carried by law enforcement and other government agencies. As far as ships go, Im drawn to the original movie vessels because they look the most, to me, like something youd really see humans build in space in 300 years. I think in the end even if there is no mechanical defect (dont hold your breath) it will be found that the Sig is causing accidental discharges for the same reason the Glock does, because if you snag the trigger on the Sig model that does not have a manual safety (some do) the gun will accidentally fire. So, unlike the Serpa holster debate, Im a believer that there is more going on than meets the eye with the P320 and is exactly why I refrained from buying one, why I still wont own one, and why I steer people away from it. When he opened the drawer the hinges pulled the Charters trigger. In fact, I dont own ANY striker fired polymer pistol. So I give a ton of credit to Shatner for reading the reality of what it was and in essence, saving it. I was tempted to buy one at one time but no more. Thats the American system at work in all its corrupt majesty. I dunno if its a case of lowest bidders blues or what. You clanging a bell that went silent years ago. Search Texas Statutes. If you want to find the lowest form of life on the planet interview any C.E.O. Asking for a friend. I just separate Shatner the man from Kirk the character, which he plays with Shakespearian operatic perfection. Oct 20, 2022 #36 ; vh20 said: . Hilton has filed a $15 million lawsuit alleging the P320 has a serious design and manufacturing flaw. I lost $150 dumping that gun and Sig instead of acknowledging that it had a problem and calling it a recall, denied all and everything and called it a voluntary upgrade., At my LGS a P320 just went off when one of the guys put it the counter when he set up a target. Instead we see a Sig that is ran by Mr. Cohen of Kimber fame have repeated quality and product development failures. In June, Cambridge police Lt. Thomas Ahern filed suit, accusing Sig Sauer of selling a dangerously defective product after his P320 fired on its own while he was in the department's SWAT team van with six other officers. who sells them? They are being replaced with Glocks. Police officers (maybe) do an annual qualification and thats it. But this time, the sound bites used were different. Many gun makers have had issues with drop firing, unintended discharge, bad safeties This is a resource I compiled of semi-auto pistols that have been recalled or Upgraded for Safety related problems like Drop Firing, Safeties that Malfunction, Risk of Accidental Discharge, etc. The use of a modified [SIG] P226 holster created an unsafe condition by allowing a foreign object to enter the holster, causing the unintended discharge.. This leads me to conclude that the problem is not the gear but the moron using it. He was told to shoot two rounds. It was one of the first ones and was sent back as a voluntary upgrade. The settlement requires the gunmaker to reimburse owners of . Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer and injured a director with a prop gun on the set of the film "Rust" and the distraught actor repeatedly asked afterwards why he . Before the madness SIGS were expensive. 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. Where is this lightning striking twice? Not just police in US had issues with sig p320. SIG says ABC had intended to include some of those other claims in their reports, but after SIG informed the network of the additional information that was uncovered, those cases werent included in either of the segments. He had to be reprimanded by the range officer twice for unsafe handling of his pistol. Heres the version that ran Tuesday morning during the networks Good Morning America program . The thing is, youd probably need to generate many Gs of force in both directions simultaneously. is the manual safety a kit you add? Bineau added the review is looking at so-called ancillary equipment (meaning the holster and other items) as one element of that broader investigation. Yes, its reliable, but no more so than most other major brands well known models. Or you would have to have enough slide play for the slide movement to physically disengage the sear and striker leg mating surfaces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0LUbLu6TqA, Simply put, the P320 is not safe and the lawsuits arent frivolous. 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. Hello perpetrators, Lee Paige is clearly the gift that keeps on giving though our buddy Hunter Biden is a close second! But the reality is that the military has been using the Sig P320 for almost 5 years and they show no signs of changing. On Thursday, M.D. Theres also an un-named Texas gun shop manager who says a P320 fired as he cleared the weapon, blowing off one of his fingers. That took a lot. Folks disagree on brands. 1.A rush to market, and as usual the blind greed of the gun companies who no longer test pistols before marketing them think it is cheaper (so the idiots think) to let the public test them. Bagnell is representing a number of the police officers who have filed suits against SIG for un-commanded discharges, but wouldnt disclose the exact number. 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. Canadian soldier wounded by accidental discharge used wrong holster: SIG Sauer 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. Clients such as law enforcement officers whose negligent discharges could result in their being disciplined or fired unless it can be proven that the gun was at fault. Trigger is lighter than the Glock, it took years of aggressive training to reach the point of acceptable discharges with the Glock. I went to an outdoor public range with a local SWAT entry team leader. Sigs are crap! Note the addition of ominous background music in the second seven-minutes-longer version (there was no music in the Good Morning America version). LEO handguns get into struggles, they get laid and rolled on, they get smacked into vehicles/doorways, they get dropped, they get drawn and holstered way more often than their civilian counterparts. Again, these are examples the plaintiff in this case is using to support his claim that the P320 is prone to un-commanded discharges.. The problems associate with those pistols (and the P365) have long since been ironed out. Theres still the P938 extractors snapping they refuse to acknowledge. As a striker-fired pistol, the P320 is "under constant pressure to fire," Bagnell said. They have similar vertical sear engagement, but the M&P has more engagement width wise. But just the same- a gun going off from momentum? Neither argument is relevant or very intelligent and certainly not useful. A lot like carrying a cocked and locked 1911 but with the safety off. Ive seen similar situations at our Municipal range. Remember the highly trained FBI officer whose gun went off in a nightclub? 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.
