But some of these claims are that it fired while holstered, which is a very different thing. Not fired while holstering, or fired while unholstering, but fired while in the holster.
I’ve never owned a pistol that didn’t have a safety feature.
Dude
First thing out of anyone’s mouth that shoots themselves.. the gun just went off.
I knew this was going to be about the P320 before I even read the details.
People swear by this pistol but for some reason there has a been ton of concern over it.
Where there is smoke there is fire.
I think I’ll pass on this one.
“No safety on the civilian P320 as far as I know.”
The M17 and M18 versions are the only ones with manual safeties.
There’s some independent researchers right there…/sarc
My truck locks and unlocks even though the key fob isn't in my hand... walking with the fob in my pocket presses the buttons... I sometimes wonder how many other people have this happen to them?
They leave their vehicle, press the fob to lock their doors, hear the beep and place the fob in their pocket and unbeknownst to them, the doors soon unlock.
If you were to walk through parking lot and check doors, I often wonder how many would be open even though the owner swears they locked the doors when walking away?
Dummy, it’s never going to happen…unless…you set a box of 16 penny nails next to it, watch out!
Probably didn’t carefully read the manual provided with the gun: Don’t put finger on trigger while stuffing it in your pants.
I’ve been keeping a hammer lying on my patio for 15 years.
I was hoping it would build a deck if I left it alone but I’m beginning to have doubts.
That’s akin to me waiting for my dachshunds to load and unload the dishwasher. I’m starting to think that it’s never going to happen. Of course, I haven’t taught them to do it;the best they’ll do so far, is try to lick the dishes clean while I’m loading it. I guess that’s progress...
Carrying “cocked and locked” can be a dangerous circumstance depending on the design of the weapon. That’s why the 1911 has three safety features to prevent negligent discharge. If I was to chose to carry with a chambered round, it would be in a 1911 or a double action revolver.
“...but the barrel would just explode and split into five or six curly pieces of iron”
Yeah I saw that happen on Bugs Bunny.
I agree, first thing I have to do is rack the slide to get a live round to fire. I check it every morning, and every night. I do keep one in the chamber when it is in my car by the ignition. In case I need to assist random thug, Trantifa or bLM.
Sig Sauer lists the pull weight of the standard P320 at 6.5 lbs. on their website.
It doesn’t fire by itself.
A poltergeist gun....
is there a box of nails with it?
a gun needs bullets, a hammer needs nails.
> the recall was to resolve an issue with dropping the firearm at a very specific angle, causing the weapon to discharge.
IIRC for the P320 it was because if you moved the trigger a little an internal safety was disengaged and then a bump or jar could release the striker. Thus possibility of discharge without pulling to the trigger break. With a Glock it’s deadly obvious when the trigger safety is off and what the risk is (eg entrainment when holstering, etc), but you have to pull the trigger to get it to fire.
I have a P365 which doesn’t seem to have this issue.
