No, frankly I don’t believe he wouldn’t have videoed the event. PERIOD

Sig Carry? Safe or Dangerous?

I have a love/hate with Sig. I trust the 320’s, even carry appendix. Sig has great lawyers and from what I’ve heard there’s a few NDA’s out there. Haven’t been able to create it in a courtroom is Sig’s stand. 320’s have a greater chance of something interfering with the trigger due to the fact they don’t have a “trigger blade safety”.
I’m pretty sure CZ’s have a great chance of firing, while in DA, and striking the back of the hammer.

I have made reference to one incident that I am particularly familiar with. The information that I read shows no modifications to the P320, nor to the department-issued Safariland holster. The firearm and holster were in proper working order. P320 discharged while properly strapped in the holster, without any external stimulus.
There is more information, but the lawsuit is currently in arbitration, and that’s all I’m comfortable giving out at this time. I can say that in this particular incident, much of what you claim is refuted.
There are far more incidents than the ones that made the rounds due to shared videos.
Not everyone shares videos of crap that happens.
Not all incidents have associated videos.
Some incidents are under legal gag orders, which prevent videos and other info from being shared.
Do you really expect that they would admit to any modification?
To your points, you know that applies to all manufacturers.
In at least one case that I am familiar with, the official documents state that, upon examination and inspection, no modifications were found to the holster or firearm.
Operative word is “Official”
I get it, really I do. I just believe some manufacturers hide stuff better than others. Sure seems like the Glock ADs/NDs reports just disappeared.
But they were a thing at one time.
The drop-safe issue these guns had was an actual design flaw. It was easy to reproduce using a certain protocol and the fact that SIG was so quick with an 'update' once it was documented pretty much proved that.
This 'just going off' thing is different. There doesn't seem to be any consistent way to trigger it like with the drop testing, and it only seems to be affecting a very small number of users.
It almost seems like a small design issue coupled with a few slightly out of spec guns (or in-spec, but on one side of a tolerance band) that a very specific but unknown set of circumstances can 'trigger'.
I've spent my adult life troubleshooting issues in hardware and software, and I can tell you that intermittent errors are the hardest to fix, at least until you can get them to happen on a regular basis. Then the fix is usually trivial.

Maybe, just maybe, a single action trigger without a manual safety is a terrible idea.
