That assumes there is an issue to fix. No one has identified an issue that would cause the gun to fire without actuating the trigger.
There was a recent huge thread on HN around the Air Force incident, we now know the guy was playing with the gun, shot and killed someone, then lied about it going off sitting on the table.
If there was some defect that Sig could fix via recall, they would be stupid not to recall. Maybe there is just nothing to fix, and they aren’t stupid.
- wl 1y agoIt's hard to tell what people are talking about when they talk about problems with the P320. The documents in question here deal with, among other things, the drop safety problem rather than uncommanded discharges you're talking about. If we're talking about the drop safety issue, it does make sense to ask why they didn't issue a recall instead of their not-a-recall "voluntary upgrade."
- jibe 1y agoThanks for the correction, Sig did call it a voluntary upgrade, not a recall. The do have other actual recalls, like on the Sig Cross rifle, so they are willing to do it when there is an issue that calls for it. https://www.sigsauer.com/blog/safety-recall-notice-sig-sauer-cross-bolt-action-rifle https://www.sigsauer.com/blog/safety-recall-notice-sig-sauer... They would have been in a better spot today to defend the P320 if they had made it a mandatory recall, so they probably should have done it.
