Report: Sig Sauer guns are misfiring at an alarming rate
July 28, 2024
 
The Sig Sauer firearm is the most commonly used weapon in the U.S. and has at least a dozen lawsuits against it saying the gun fired on its own and injured the handler.

According to NPR, between September 2020 and June 2023, there were at least nine instances on military bases where soldiers were injured when their P320 Sig Sauer self-fired.

Sig Sauer says “claims that the P320 is capable of firing without a trigger pull are without merit,” and that the gun remains trusted by armed forces around the world.

In 2017, the Army made a version of the Sig Sauer its new standard-issue sidearm. The other military branches followed suit. Now there are nearly half a million of these guns hanging from soldier’s hips.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It somehow makes sense the US would have this as a weapon of choice. *****rollingeyes*****
