Sig Carry? Safe or Dangerous?

There have been almost 18,000 unintentional discharges of handguns in the U.S. since 2016. Just over 100 of them have been Sig P320’s. That’s not saying P320’s are “safe” I mean 100 incidents out of 500,000 guns sold is not insignificant, but begs the question: Who made the other 17,900 pistols and what were the circumstances? Were they all committed by lowly civilians? It just seems odd that when a cop or a service member has an unintended discharge, it “must be the gun”…because why? Their inherent firearm expertise? Riiiiiight.

I’m not excusing Sig but this smells a lot like the Glock threads from the 90’s/2000’s in which you couldn’t convince the haters that Glocks were safe or the fanboys that Glocks maybe weren’t quite “perfection”.
That is exactly what this was. Fan boys worked up into a tizzy over a claim that turned out to be a lie.

 
I have two P320’s one I custom made off their website and one X Compact. Neither one of them no matter how hard I try with trigger pull and wiggle combination will the gun fire. Now I say that to say this. Do I believe there is an issue with every P320? No. Do I believe there is an issue with some of the batches? Yes… I had an autopsy report I had to review years ago from a man that was killed with a Remington rifle that disharged unintentionally and come to find out what was it millions of rifles from decades that had the problem of firing unintentionally. I’ve seen videos that have come out recently of Barrett’s firing without a trigger pull. My main problem is it’s sad it takes people dying or someone getting hurt in order for anyone to fix their problems. It’s the same with roads there is literally a formula they go by that so many wrecks and deaths have to occur before a change will be made. Unintentional discharges, safety bypass, slight trigger pull discharges or whatever should be implemented in gun testing before a gun should be deemed safe.
 
Wanna buy one? I have an XFIVE Legion I’ll sell ya.
I have several. I also have Glocks, Berettas, HKs, and S&Ws. I am not a brand loyalist and don’t get emotionally wrapped up in my choice in firearms or what others choose to carry.

I am old enough to remember when this idiocy happened with Glock in the 80s, 90s, and into the early 2000s. The only difference now is we have social media totally blowing things out of proportion and every choad with a camera jumping online to claim they discovered the problem. Suddenly over night the internet became mechanical engineers and declared something unsafe based on rumors and conjecture.
