The Alec Baldwin model?

[fwdude]

The pistol also sneers as it pulls its own trigger.

[Dandy]

Sounds like the Toyotas that used to accelerate by themselves.

Hardwood cleans up. At least the carpet wasn’t ruined.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

I thought there was a “voluntary recall” to get this fixed around four or five years ago.

“WaPo via SFGate”

I’m sure there’s no agenda 😏

Probably dumbshits bolstering their pistol with their finger on the trigger.

So loading, cocking, holstering/un-holstering a pistol causes a problem? who knew? Pointing the thing at your own butt adds a nice touch.

My SIG 226 has sat in a drawer near my front door, fully loaded, and hasn’t gone off in the last 23 years.???

[bak3r]

From at least what I understand the recall was a “drop safe” issue, not a “glock leg issue”.

[OldWarBaby]

——aaaannnnddd putting a safety on is way too much trouble?

[rktman]

Or arick barwin defense?

[Tupelo]

No comment. Everyone here beat me to it..........Dammit.

SIG Sauer has not issued a recall on the P320, but if I recall correctly (that’s a pun) they have some type of upgrade program.

I thought Audi was the one known for that.

[CodeToad]

People never think a holster can jam up the trigger.

[G Larry]

Kinda.....the recall was to resolve an issue with dropping the firearm at a very specific angle, causing the weapon to discharge.
