Testing my P320 for Undesired Discharge

[HardToHandle]

Settling lawsuits has no bearing whatsoever on the safety of the firearm. When it is cheaper to settle than defend, you settle; the shareholders demand it...

SIG is privately held for the record.

SIG was so confident in their pistol design, they arranged a literal last-minute legislative change to make it much, much more difficult/expensive to sue for damages in May 2025. Without public debate.

Facing a wave of P320 lawsuits, Sig Sauer asked for immunity. NH lawmakers granted it.

The new law has drawn pushback from people who've been injured from unintentional firings of their Sig Sauer pistols.

That sounds remarkably like SIG is confident with the P320 platform, doesn’t it?

About the same time as the New Hampshire legal limitations were added, the Chicago Police Department union followed the lead of the Milwaukee PD and asked to have the P320s be declared unauthorized. 10% of the CPD uses the P320, so the city is stalling due to the cost to replace weapons/holsters. Chicago is perpetually broke, but especially broke this year - https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/chicago-police-union-catanzara-sig-sauer-p320/

Legislative change: “The new liability law, which prohibits lawsuits that focus on the gun’s lack of an external safety, won’t affect those cases.”

Maybe read the article first.

I'm starting to think there may be something to the flexing of the grip module and thus the FCU as to a plausible cause of UDs, if it is indeed a real phenomenon. Full disclosure, I am a P320 enthusiast; I own them and shoot them regularly, but I don't carry one because they are too large for my CCW needs.
