It's hard to know what the reality of the situation is as far as us just watching a video.

It does seem the gun was properly seated and strapped in as the last video shows the retention strap shining.

But the gun just firing from a slight brush seems hard to conclude without knowing/seeing that the officer's holster was free of obstructions ie a piece of clothing or other debris.

Also was this an early/1st release 320 that never received the recall fix for that 1st gen 320? Are 1st gen 320s know to "drop" fire with such a weak hit or did it take a solid hammer strike?

I wonder if this gun was sent in to Sig or for some independent investigation as to what could have caused the discharge?

Also wonder if this department is going to resale those 320s they're replacing or destroy them? Lol

The latest spontaneous discharge now includes the military version, which has a thumb safety.

On military bases from Virginia to the Middle East, pistols made by NH-based Sig Sauer have unintentionally fired, seriously wounding soldiers in some instances.

I'd like to know why it is that I can carry one of these "self-commanding discharge" firearms as my primary CCW for 8 years, fire 15,000+ rounds out of it under my own command in practice and competition, yet never once have it "go off all by itself" in all that time, like these suit-happy asshats claim it will...???
I'm bewitched, bothered, and bemildred...

Pretty simple, you got one of the good ones. Like tens of thousands whatever 320s out there running fine but its the few random failures that keep showing up thats the problem. Reminds me of the Rem 700 triggers, they never fixed either. I have one and its never failed.

Huge glut of military trade in p320s in 3...2...1...

Seriously though, I wonder how many of those were the early ones vs the newer or recalled ones?

"We're seeing people who are in law enforcement or private citizens, who are responsible gun owners, who ultimately are experiencing life changing injuries when their guns are firing without their intent," said Bob Zimmerman, an attorney involved in dozens of lawsuits involving Sig Sauer."

This is the ambulance chaser responsible for all the lawsuits against SIG for "uncommanded discharges" -- who finally won one case. Throw enough poop against the wall...

In any case, I'd submit there have probably been far fewer NDs as well as "uncommanded discharges" in the military since the M17 and M18 were adopted. But then, I only spent 25 years on active duty and another 18 in full-time law enforcement, during which time, every single discharge of a handgun was caused by the person whose holster the pistol was in... Newsflash: if you carry a firearm at the behest of your employer, it's never gonna be your fault the gun "went off." Always blame the gun...
