‘Dangerously defective’ pistol fires even if you don’t touch the trigger, lawsuit says Twenty plaintiffs named in the lawsuit became gunshot victims when their own Sig Sauer P320 Pistol fired unexpectedly, without the trigger ever being touched, according to the complaint representing the plaintiffs nationwide.
Nothing to do with Sigs but years ago I met my dad and his friend at a campsite to go hunting. When I got there, the friend had another friend who'd come along for the ride. This friend was doing some target shooting with a 9mm of some kind. I walked over to talk and he asked me if I wanted to shoot it. Sure. He inserted a mag and handed it to me with the slide back. I pushed the button to release the slide and when it went forward, it fired. My finger was nowhere near the trigger. I looked at him and he just said 'It does that sometimes'. The ignorant bastard had handed me a defective gun and hadn't bothered to tell me. It was a good thing I had it pointed down range.

In reading about the unintentional discharges (after the voluntary recall and upgrades) reported with the P320 I've always came to the conclusion that it was likely shooter stupidity/error.....that is until the one with the guy at the match whose gun fired while already in the holster--- not as it's being holstered. That one leaves me thinking that there may well be a problem with the gun. I own one, a P320 AXG, and have had no issues of any kind and I REALLY like the gun. However, I will NOT carry it with a round in the chamber. That means it's now relegated to the status of range gun only.
