Sig P320 Decision
This one flew under the radar:
A federal jury in Maine said there were no defects in Sig Sauer's P320 in a case in an unintended discharge of the firearm.
The jury considered product liability, negligence, and breach of implied warranty, and ruled unanimously in favor of Sig Sauer.
No word on the jury's experience with weapon usage, handling and ownership.
But the unsubstantiated stories were enough to panic many Departments into abandoning the Sigs as a duty weapon.
Any word on whether the City was compensating affected Officers and properly training them up on their new pistols?

I’m old school I have two S&W M&P 9’s
The order still states that the P320 is an authorized pistol.
Why even take the chance on a gun with such a troubled history of malfunction?
I’m out on Sig.
Not sure about any of this .. I still have my Model 10 along with my chief's special on my ankle.
~ 5 weeks til' retirement to Tennessee.
Finding no fault in pistols that fired without being touched and documented on video is not exculpatory. It's damning.
There are a lot of weirdos in Maine. Believe me, I know weirdos.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Can’t even walk into PSTC with a P320. I love mine, paid $250 for it on a buy back resale.
“Ruled unanimously is Sig Sauers favor”
Looks like Sig’s slogan of “Never Settle” was successfully used in court. Truly fascinating, considering that people have gotten injured and killed because of this defective firearm, not by user error.
10-minute YouTube videos from engineers and gunsmiths explain (and demonstrate) in simple-terms the bad decisions and corporate cost-cutting which results in the Sig P320 being a weak and unsafe design. No 3-points of safety contact, using cheap Indian-pot-metal, etc. The fact that the original version could go off by just dropping it from 4-feet (and that Sig attempted to hide that fact) was bad enough. There are so many better and proven polymer handguns out there so why risk life and limb?
The story was always bullshit
I'm no expert on the Chicago PD end of this, but I have taken both the Glock and Sig armorers classes. The Glock is a much simpler design and has less things that can go wrong in it.
Crazy people in charge running the asylum. But we all knew it. Someone simply didn’t like that weapon.
No, I'm old school. I still have a S&W 5943 you rookie!!
Long live Sig
All B.S.
Lies
What about all the videos on youtube about uncommanded discharges. It’s not a myth, the gun is defective.
AIM Surplus is selling “police trade ins” P320s for $300. The one I got was brand new and clearly never issued.
CPD has sub standard firearms training. Why even at those IROCC qualifications for retired officers its quite evident.
CPD trained officers just can't shoot.

That’s not old school young buck haha
It has happened before with others.
You mean Chicago PD the TV show ? The show uses P229R's and Glock 17 and 19's. I think I saw a few Springfield's also.
Man, ankle holster, old school. Live well in retirement.
They have been reimbursing Officers with the 320. They had to fill out a form with receipts and the City is reimbursing them if they had 320 as prescribed gun. And of course they had to transition to a different pistol.
Over 3 million in service, how many have been proven defective. Watch out for lighting.
"Ya can't go wrong with the Beretta 92.
Keep your booger finger off the bang switch until ready to shoot...
I wouldn't take this gun if it was given to me for free.
We don’t care ya dork
Im older school .357 snubby
Dildos or weirdos don't hate.
Beretta 92FS. One blued finish made in Maryland and my still unfired gun in INOX-stainless steel-made in Italy. Double/single and never a problem.
Congrats on the pending retirement and move to TN.
Live long and prosper !
Sig still hits the target. Every time 😁
I can’t take you serious if you still rock a 5943. If you haven’t transition to a newer pistol, you don’t take this job serious or care about yourself. We get uniform allowance, go buy a new gun.
Nah, I am old school. I have a flintlock
Not exactly. There are serious problems with the basic design of the P320. The "voluntary upgrade" to add safety features it should've had from the beginning is a great example.
So what’s the real story then? I’d be pissed if I was Sig
More then one youtuber were able to force the malfunction that causes the gun to fire without pulling the trigger.
Yeah….sure all lies. All of those cops and soldiers with holes in their legs say otherwise. But thanks for providing proof in your one-line response Thunder Thumbs.
