There are absolutely actors who wish to privatize education. And, depending on the district, those federal resources provide a significant chunk of the funding for schools. In my local district in Kansas, it’s about 13% of public school fun

That’s not my claim. I don’t really trust Sig’s ass-covering on the numerous reported issues. But in the case of the demonstration in the Wyoming Gun Project video, it is literally the case that an object is being jammed into the trigger un

If you pull the trigger far enough to disengage the drop safety and firing pin safety block, then it is entirely possible to discharge the weapon by applying force to the slide, shaking the weapon, or the like. Pulling the trigger disables

For the XM17 program that ended up adopting the P320, the military skipped their normal production verification testing. See: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/07/05/glock-says-be...

OEM trigger pull weight on most all Glocks is about 5.5lbs (the G34 has a different connector and gets down to about 4.5lbs) That is fairly average across the market for other handguns. Unless you were shooting a Glock with one of the infam

Both guns have a bolt carrier, rotating bolt, and similar amounts of fire control group components. Both need to be headspaced within a spec of a few thousandths of an inch. The biggest difference is about 20 years of industrial development

There were no standard trials for the M18 so Sig didn't even need magical sample guns.

Pulling the trigger deactivates the firing-pin safety and drop-safety on a Glock as well. And by the time you have pulled the trigger to the wall you've already disabled the trigger-blade safety. This holds true on basically every mode

Having owned both a P320 and a Glock and handled multiple, "slop" in the guns out of the box are comparable. They're both mass-produced, polymer frame, striker-fired hand guns, not hand-finished 1911's. If you put a few

Sig Sauer Inc in Exeter, NH is a completely different company than SIG Sauer AG in Switzerland. The Swiss Sig's have a sterling reputation. The P226 that entered the XM9 trials (against the Beretta 92) was imported from Switzerland by

There's also no good reason that there wasn't standard testing before adopting the P320 to be the M18. Sig undercut Glock on price and the DOD said "eh... good enuf"

This particular video doesn't quite show anything out of the ordinary. If you pull the trigger past the wall then force it into firing with sympathetic movement of different parts of the pistol. The P320 has had many reported issues bu

IBM / Dehomag was a place for business as well. Good thing management ignored calls for boycott and told employees to leave their personal politics and support for “the current thing” at the door.
