I think you mean the Audi. Interesting thing was the solution was to put the accelerator and the brake pedal further apart. I had a gunnery sergeant get a great deal on a new Audi at that time because of that scare.
"I was shot in the buttock"
"I'd like to see that."
You are correct. SIG's solution was to basically install the target trigger, e.g. lighter firing pin.
I have had my 226 since about 1990, and it has NEVER gone off by itself. Are they just trying to get some money out of Sig?
My buddy had his 2 lb Pomeranian jam up the trigger. They both shot himself right in the knee. .45ACP. He said it hurt.
You dont own any revolvers?!
No manual safety on civilian models.
I’ve got one of those, I shut off the ignition, or shift into neutral and let the engine hit the “rev limiter” when it occurs. It depends on the traffic situation which action I take.
Good thing, that could get a little smelly.

I had a friend who bought the then new SIG SASS version. He was showing it to a friend in his kitchen with nice ceramic tile flooring and dropped the pistol. It fired when it hit the floor. Sent back to Sig and they could find nothing wrong with it. This was 10-12 years ago.
P365 XLwRomeoZero is my EDC.
Sounds like a sear defect.
I have the second generation P-320. Sig found, as others have stated, the weapon could discharge if dropped a certain way. Sig repaired any of the early weapons and then made a machining change to address the problem.
I’ve never had a problem with mine and while I prefer a hammer-style weapon, the P-320 is a nice weapon for concealed carry.
My everyday weapon of choice is the Sig P-365 SAS. Once you get used to the lack of raised sights, it’s pretty awesome. Basically, it’s a point and shoot platform.
These are far worse than Assault Rifles.
At least those scary war weapons do not go shooting by themselves.
We should ban Sig from ever making another shooty thing for ever.
just think It might save the life of a child.
I also have a 365. I‘m not a big fan of striker fired, having had a 911 and appreciaed its’ safeties, but not having a hammer is great for concealed carry. So to be safe, I don’t chamber a round. If I have to chamber a round, I’m pulling the trigger!
Yes it will, that’s why you carry a 1911 in condition one. It’s meant for it.
Amen, nothing comes close.

I’ve carried my 229 for 25 yewrs with a round in the pipe and the hammer down. Never an issue or an AD.
They pulled the trigger.
