Yeah that one is concerning, I hadn’t seen it before. No doubt this shouldn’t be happening, I’m just skeptical that its an inherent issue with factory guns rather than a combo of people modding them unsafely and a predisposition to accidental trigger pulls due to the short pretravel which by itself might be an issue (plus large number in circulation and social media magnification).take a look at the other two video, one is the Ceres cop approaching her vehicle, maybe her bag grazes the gun? and the other is an officer bending over grabbing a suspect. The latter you can clearly see there is no shirt in the holster. If anything happened it was something brushed the outside of the holster. That's not ok, like I said you should be able to throw your gun at the wall as hard as you can, loaded, and it does not go off. brushing against a holster is not pulling the trigger. If it's really just a matter of "the trigger is too easy to pull" then that in and of itself is a problem and Sig should address it. Plenty of other guns have short travel triggers and don't go off by brushing the holster. Find literally any other reports for other guns like the p320, there aren't any. And as far as testing and reports, I promise you that stuff has happened but Sig has paid people to settle out of court. There were several first hand videos that used to be on youtube that have disappeared. One from a central valley USPSA shooter. Those people got paid by Sig to "forget" about the incidents.
I also tend to think if a plaintiff had a gun that was malfunctioning and they could replicate it, they’d say F- you to sig and go to trial and get a massive judgement. Punitive damages. The fact that hasn’t happened makes me think they have nothing and sig is offering them “go away” money which they’re taking because they know their claim is questionable.
If my gun shot me and I could replicate it, I would tell them to F- off with their 150k offer to shut me up and take them to the F-ing cleaners, people hate big companies (especially gun companies for some) and they would award a nuclear judgement if you had ANY tiny modicum of proof.
