FBI found it was entirely possible to disable the striker block without the trigger being pulled. A combination of wear, inadequate design, and loose manufacturing tolerances. To disable the striker block, they removed the rear plate, app

I mean demonstrate it on a gun that has had an uncommanded discharge. Make it happen again, and then identify the problem on that specific gun. As you point out, the drop issue was well documented, and then fixed. So far, no one has identif

It goes off as the holster he bends over and bumps into the officer next to him. The holster is clearly being moved and touched. Regardless, if there is a defect in that particular gun, they should just demonstrate it. If it isn't the

The P320 does have a firing pin block. There is a lever that physically blocks the striker from moving. When you pull the trigger, the trigger bar lifts the lever, allowing the striker to move if the sear is also disengaged. None of this is

These are all good theories. Someone should demonstrate it if true. When there were drop safe questions, it was able to be reproduced, and there was a change to address it. Show an uncommanded discharge, show why it happened. Then you have

I 100% agree it is concerning, but in this video you can't see whether the trigger is pulled or not. Holstering the gun creates a risk of the trigger being pulled. The gun goes off while it is being pushed in, which suggests the trigge

Yes, I was commenting on the parent poster's suggestion that only raw copper might be tariffed. If only raw copper was tariffed, you could bypass it by importing very lightly process copper, like thick wire.

Yes, that was my point. If you only tariff raw copper (which is what the parent thought), you could avoid the tariff by importing lightly process copper (e.g. a spool of 0000 wire instead of bar of copper).

I understand what it looks like, but we have the guns from those incidents, and no one has looked at them an pointed to a defect, or reproduced them firing without the trigger being actuated. A gun in a holster can fire when it is moved and

There is a giant screw jammed in the trigger. That disengages the internal safeties. That's not showing the gun is not safe, that is intentionally making it unsafe. That provides no insight as to whether the gun can fire uncommanded, w

There is no evidence of this, no reproduction of it firing without the trigger being pulled, and not even a good theory on it. The YouTube videos are involve pulling the trigger far enough to disengage the internal safeties.

1: It isn't a hair trigger, it is still a 6 to 6.5 pound pull. 2: The trigger is what it is, the military and police departments chose it for what was. I agree, the police in particular, should use a gun that takes more effort to fire.

There is nothing in there except a sensational headline. The military asked Sig to come up with every possible theoretical failure mode for the gun, and assess the risk. There is nothing about a specific flaw that would cause the gun to fir

The M17/M18/P320 has a striker block, and you have to pull the trigger to disengage it.

You are begging the question, in the classic meaning of the phrase. What issue specifically? I haven't seen a claim yet that ultimately didn't boil down to: "and the trigger was pulled". Maybe the issue is that the 320 i

Thanks 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.sigsa

They already did a recall for a much less serious issue, the drop safe recall, so they have proven that they are willing to recall if there is something to fix.

by jibe 1y ago
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 t

The gun firing when the trigger is being pulled is not a design flaw, and it is 100% mitigated with the safety that the military has in their guns.

This is a case where left and right can work together for totally different reasons. The left is fighting for rape porn in video games, and the right doesn’t want gun stores definanced. Both win with credit platform neutrality.

The lack of an external safety is not a defect. Many guns, probably a majority of new sales don’t. Anyone buying P320 knows there is no external safety. Sig should be liable for defects, and potentially negligent design, but seems reasonabl
