Fallout from the SIG P320 Uncommanded Discharges

[Doug M.]

Well, they lost the primary ruling. We shall see how it goes. Given that Sig already has a bad history of regulatory non-compliance (smacked by German government for prohibited weapons sales), and their ludicrous claims about why these discharges are happening, I think they are well on their way to the end of the company.

"Uncommanded discharge" is right up there with "administrative reload".

Is that gunfighting school lingo?

 

[Doug M.]

Some police academies and private schools use that term to differentiate a non tactical/speed reload, often done in the holster (the meaning with which I am most familiar) by removing a partially/completely used mag and replacing it with a loaded one. Its a common term and I'm kind of surprised any shooter does not know it.

Actually, I've heard the term "administrative reload" years ago; just couldn't remember what it meant. Not that it really matters....

This is an interesting report, albeit rather bureaucratic. My takeaway is that the Sig Sauer representatives were pretty effective and persuasive with an argument that basically went: "Don't believe your lying eyes. The design of our pistol is infallible, and what you think happened is simply impossible."
