According to Firearm Chronicles
A couple of years ago, Sig Sauer had some trouble with the P320. The guns were fairly popular, but it was discovered that if they were dropped and landed on the back of the slide in just the right manner, there was a potential for the weapon to discharge.
The gun community became sharply divided on the issue, but Sig stepped up and offered to modify people’s firearms at no charge. This modification would eliminate any potential flaws. Sig never said there was a flaw, mind you, but it was over and done with.
Now, well after the fact, a man is suing Sig after he was shot by his own P320.
A Tacoma man who was shot as he put his Sig Sauer pistol in a holster has sued the company for millions, alleging the firearms have a history of going off without the trigger being pulled.
Cody Hoefs argues the company knew about the defect and failed to do a mandatory recall. “… Sig Sauer concealed and propagated a defective deadly weapon so as not to jeopardize a $580,000,000 contract with the United States military, whereby it chose to put profit over the safety and well-being (of) both law enforcement and the general public,” the lawsuit says.
The model, the Sig Sauer P320, was the subject of a CNN investigation in 2018.
