It's my understanding that Glock lost 4 contracts from the military and this is about when the reports started coming in about the defective P320, After Sig got the contracts. This was told to me by a defensive trainer here in Jacksonville who uses exclusively Sigs for his carry.
The you tube videos on the net seem to contradict that along with all the stories you can read. I don't use the Sig brand anymore but it wasn't due to this issue. I think I'll just keep my booger hook off the bang switch.
The M17/18 contract was in 2017 with first batch to be delivered by 2022. The drop safety issue was found and corrected before the militray guns were issued. It went viral when people found out the civilian P320s had the same issue and had not been fixed. SIG's voluntary upgrade for them came later. The AFOSI passed on the M18 and went Glock 19/26. In 2021 the Army gave Glock a $15 million contract for about 9,000 new Glocks. That's called a hint.
