Guav v Sig Sauer - Sig found not liable for P320 shooting

[j-squared]

In a case that went to a jury, last week, a New Hampshire federal jury found that Sig Sauer is not liable in a lawsuit where the plaintiff claimed his P320 handgun shot him in the thigh:

Kyle Guay filed the products liability suit on July 2, 2020, in U.S. District Court. He claims the pistol fired without a trigger pull as he was removing the gun from its holster, according to court documents.

It's funny how this only happened to Leo when there are probably millions of 320s out there.

The military and police were the first ones getting 320s. Many many changes were made to the trigger assembly after the military started receiving them. Dallas TX police if I remember correctly, sent all the Sig 320s back due to the very light trigger.

Should we start saying 'sig found not liable for ND?'

And? I haven't seen any "civilian" with a lawsuit against sig because their 320 just went bang for no reason. My 320 certainly has not fired by itself.

You got yours after the military and police did the beta testing.

Very long form story at TTAG today about the Washington Post and The Trace attack on the "uniquely dangerous" SIG P.320 lockwork:

Lots of illustrations which don't lend themselves to transference. Go to the link for the story.

but whats the flaw? There were internal safeties, there was resistance on the trigger, its not binary all or none, its a gradation.

This sounds like someone pulled the trigger but won't admit it, or worse, they are so off, so mentally fragile they do not even think they did, because they can never be wrong.

I haven't been following it, do you have an opinion from good reputation people saying the opposite like well known smiths saying its not that different, or the reaction is not that different etc ?

Well it's still very bad press. My dept just switched duty guns and refused to even test the Sig P320. And we had P229's.
