Not good news for SIG Sauer

"I am the only one in this room professional enough to carry this Glock 40 " - BANG!

Cops have been shooting themselves with their own guns for a long time.

Yea, I own a P320. Having had it apart more than once and having a decent idea of how it works, I don't see how it would even be possible for it to go off without a trigger pull unless something flat out broke.

There have been 100 "reports" of people having them just go off, Are these actual, documented reports or anecdotes based on people claiming it "just went off off"? Because if it's the latter, that needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt. I hear these claims all the time, regardless of the type. That's the first excuse used when a negligent discharge happens: "It just went off".

If it was actual documented reports, where are the details about the reports? What did the investigations conclude? What were the results of the inspections of the guns? Strangely, those details are missing.

City cops are notoriously not people of the gun. Is this insistence that they're not safe actually related to demonstrable incidents within their department or just "common knowledge" based on those previously discussed claims that I've yet to see substantiated? If it's based on incidents, why isn't this article talking about the incident reports and the findings of the investigations rather than just vague claims of feeling unsafe by unnamed officers?

Sorry, not buying it unless someone comes up with something more substantial to support these claims.

But you're right, if departments are getting rid of their Sigs, SIG needs to do something more to dispel these rumors or they could be facing some troubled times.

Addendum: perhaps some of those details are in the Washington Post article linked in the story, but I'm not paying to read an article from an outlet that I don't trust as far as I can spit and hates me and everything I believe in to boot.
