“On July 31, 2024, a MSP motor officer was standing in a squad area with other members when
his department issued Sig Sauer M182 fired uncommanded. The firearm was reportedly
secured in the department issued Alien Gear Rapid Force Level 3 holster at the time of firing.
According to the MSP motor officer’s statement and the statements of others present, at no
time was the trigger pressed intentionally or inadvertently3
. The MSP motor officer had objects
in his hands at the time of the event, including keys.
The subject firearm, while in the holster, was removed from the member’s leg and placed in an
evidence bag pending further evaluation.”
Do you work for SIG or something?
Of course someone could reach into the holster with keys and hit the trigger, but there is no conceivable way it could be that in this situation. And this isn’t the only time - I’ve seen several videos of Sig P320’s doing this that are completely unrelated to this situation.
- nabla9 1y agoI can read what you wrote. You said that the evaluation duplicate something. Only thing they duplicate was the possibility of key firing. You must be referring to that. They were not able to duplicate physical malfunction.
- lazide 1y agoThey absolutely were able to duplicate elements of physical malfunction.
- nabla9 1y agoYes. "elements" of physical malfunction, not the malfunction. That means they were able to individual safety mechanism fail, but not all of them. The intact gun would not fire all by itself if it was hammered in the test.
