I don't know how much truth there is in this, but I have read several reports of a Sig P320 discharging without a trigger being pulled.
That being said, only an idiot carries an unholstered gun tucked into his waistband.

Was he a Bonobo?
ReplyDeleteI like revolvers with the hammer on an empty chamber. I know lots of folks disagree with that. I've seen a lot of folks, military trained, have some nasty accidents. I carry and I work on my farm. I'm always bending, squatting, crawling under a tractor and bumping into things. I just don't want to get shot by my own weapon.
ReplyDeleteEver since Glock came out with that gimpy trigger with the extra tab, this sort of stuff has been happening. You go to tuck it in your wastband, part of your shirt tail gets inside the trigger guard and -BLAM- you get shot in the ass. Most of your new polymer wonder-nines now have that type of trigger safety (my S&W Shield does) and you'd be an idiot to carry any of them without a holster that 100% covers the trigger guard. There's also stories of women who purse carry and get shot due to lipstick, keyring, or pencil getting inside the guard while jangling around in the purse too. Put that shit in a proper holster.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is crappy or worn holsters are the common denominator in most of these 320 NDs.
ReplyDeleteSig P320s did have a problem with NDs but its been many many years since this was discovered and corrected, and Sig offered the fix for free to anyone who owned one. Anyone who claims thats a problem now is just trying to make money off of Sig.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that the thug didn't get the word about the recall.
DeleteSeems the Milwaukee police believe the problem still exists... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/milwaukee-police-said-they-re-so-afraid-of-their-department-issued-handguns-randomly-firing-they-won-t-bring-them-home-near-their-family/ar-AA19J3yJ
DeleteI’ve looked at some of the 320’s. They don’t even have a tab or pivot. I like a hammer on my auto. I can hold it down as I reholster.

Kenny, I carried a cocked and locked lightweight commander, appendix position, under a tucked in shirt for 25 years in Chicongo. I did repair work in the ghetto and would not be unarmed. It was the most concealed method I could come up with. Of course, back then they didn't have guns with the safety on the trigger Ed
ReplyDeleteI carry my 1911s with one in the chamber and the hammer down. Safety won’t engage. All I have to do is thumb the hammer back and pull the trigger. I still have the option of engaging the safety if I want but my psychology is that if I’m pulling that hammer back I’m then pulling the trigger immediately anyways.
ReplyDeleteMr. Browning would have made the safety engage without cocking the pistol if that was how he intended it to be carried
DeleteDitchcritter, that's my line of thinking too.
DeleteI can’t stand the idea of appendix carry. If I did that I blow my junk off for sure. As for safeties, I put my trust in J M Browning. I don’t know any other pistol with two safeties.
