SIG Sauer P320 self discharges

[Pablo]

The Air Force today has arrested the dead airman’s coworker and charged him with manslaughter and making a false report. He apparently was goofing off with the P320 and accidentally killed his coworker and then blamed it on the gun as an accidental discharge.

Well that’s interesting

The dead body in the autopsy room pretty much says it's a real problem.

Better watch some non-hyperbole news channels. Like Pablo said, looking like it was not an UD…

I'm not seeing anything about that on any of the major news sites.

That tragic death says something - but you’ve leapt to a conclusion before all the facts are in.

For example

That’s the problem I have with many of the “conclusions” in those videos and in this thread - the rush to judgement before all the facts are in.

Well, I think that in this case, the Air Force Times would count.

I think we have found a problem. Gun related and major news sites. Laughable if not tragic the skews and omissions

 

[Astro14]

Yeah “Major News Sites” do not have a history of accurate reporting on firearm-related matters.

 

[jkasch]

Apparently, the U.S Marshal Service has banned their use.

Another wrinkle as the saga continues.

Arrest made in fatal shooting of airman that led Air Force command to stop using SIG Sauer M18 pistols

I am seeing more gun ranges post rules online and at the range prohibiting the P320 from being brought onto their property. Banned. No sale, trade, carry, shooting, or repair work on the P320 is allowed.

Right or wrong, justified or not, this is going to kill this gun, and badly damage Sig in the process. I've been involved in shooting and going to ranges since 1963 when I was 11 years old. And I can't remember a time when a particular brand of weapon was actually banned from the premesis due to a safety concern.
