How cheaply can we make this (bean counters) !How many does this one make?
Sometimes I have to wonder what the hell is going on in the corporate thought process at SIG.

Count yourself lucky. Many have, gone off. On video or witnessed by multiple people, in holsters or sitting alone in desk drawers absolutely verifiable they were un touched. Then there is the actual drop safe issues.Same s**t, different day. Funny, not one of my P-320s goes off by itself.

Do you have a link for the desk drawer incident? I don't think I've read about any incident where one discharged just sitting static. All the ones I know of it can be argued something actuated the trigger.Count yourself lucky. Many have, gone off.

Yes we all said bullshit in the beginning they had to be touching them, just like the remington 700 issues. Well they wernt. I'm sure a couple folks are using the problem as cover for actual ND but there are actual drop safe issues and issues of the guns going off all by themselves.
At this point the bean counters have decided its cheaper to deny deflect and fight lawsuits as well as quietly buy back whole departments purchases than doing the right thing. That is redesigning the thing properly and replacing everyone ever made.
I'm not a sig fanboi although I've had a couple of their 1911s. They are awesome but I will never buy a striker fired sig. Like the remington 700 the issue is absolutely but it will take forever for them to admit it. True, most folks will never experience it but at this point the rarity doesn't make it any less deadly.
Until it DOES.Same s**t, different day. Funny, not one of my P-320s goes off by itself.
Talking about this one?everyone always denies pulling the trigger when they have an ND…
Sig recently won one lawsuit over this and I would be surprised if they don’t win the others.
That’s the one.Talking about this one?
Judge sides with SIG Sauer in accidental shooting lawsuit | Fox Business
A judge ruled that a lawsuit against gun manufacturer SIG Sauer failed to prove the company was aware of a pistol defect at the time a man accidentally shot himself.www.foxbusiness.com
Not exactly a “win” but a favorable ruling. Read it, pretty interesting
The judge simply ruled that sig reasonably could not have known about the defect at the time the plaintiff purchased his pistol. It was not a ruling on whether or not the design was defective.That’s the one.

Did you read the case text? An expert witness that examined Guays pistol found nothing wrong with it. Despite Guay filing the lawsuit because he said the gun was holstered when it fired, he had told the EMT that he shot himself while unholstering his gun. He also introduced another ND as evidence, and that ND was determined to have been caused by another object getting stuck in the holster and causing the trigger to be pulled.The judge simply ruled that sig reasonably could not have known about the defect at the time the plaintiff purchased his pistol.

The first person to try to argue that would get laughed out of the room, as striker fired handguns have been around as long as semi auto handguns have, and more than a few hammer fired guns have had similar issues. Not to mention if anyone were dumb enough to argue that, they'd have glock, Beretta, hk, ruger, Taurus, s&w, FN, cz, pretty much everyone fight against them.The real question will be if the design is defective then does that mean all striker-fired hand guns are defective? What about all convictions where a P320 was used and the defendant claimed it was an accident.
Might just be a bridge to far or pandora’s box.
