This doesn't sound good.

My first impression is that the guy shot himself. He had control of the weapon in order for the round to hit his thigh and calf. How do you prove to a jury that you DIDNT have your finger on that trigger when this occurred? If it can be reproduced then SIG should most definitely reimburse this guy.

My opinion...
He was doing a “timed” draw and fire and the finger was quicker than the hand.
Just my 02- YMMV

Bunch of lawyers ordering their new yachts and Porsches already.

Sounds like a judge, maybe a jury, will decide this one.

I bet it's the polymer/plastic/quickdraw/button holster he may have used. IOW, something in the holster touched the trigger....I have several of these kinds of holsters for many platforms and they rely on precise holding mechanisms for the forward trigger guard. As the Sig defense lawyers, I'd be demanding a complete examination of the holster, myself.

"When Slatowski "placed his hand on the pistol grip to draw it out of his holster, the weapon fired," according to the lawsuit."

I'm calling BS.

Edit: I hope Sig fights this and keeps the case going long enough that this sue-happy idiot loses everything to legal fees.

What would really send a message is if after this is cleared up, Sig Sauer then sues the law firm representing this retard for defamation.
