SIG SAUER is pleased to announce that a Federal Court in North Carolina dismissed a lawsuit involving its P320 pistol where the plaintiff claimed his pistol discharged without pulling the trigger.

After more than five years of litigation, the judge granted SIG SAUER’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case on multiple grounds. Specifically, he found the plaintiff’s liability experts were not qualified to offer opinions about the P320 design and that the opinions they did render were unreliable. Without expert opinion, Mr. Williams was unable to establish the required legal elements to prove his case.

“We are both pleased and unsurprised that accusations concerning the P320 firing without a trigger pull have once again proven to be unfounded in the court of law,” says Kristen Dennison, outside counsel for SIG SAUER Inc. and partner at Littleton Joyce Ughetta & Kelly LLP. This decision affirms the safety, durability, and reliability of SIG SAUER’s P320 pistol.

Nearly twenty separate P320-related cases have been dismissed; repeatedly, scientific evidence proves the pistol is without fault and accusations to the contrary are unsupportable in the court of law.

SIG may be winning in the court of law, but in the court of public opinion, the P320 is already a lost cause. There are people who trust it and people who never will, and no legal decision is likely to change anyone’s mind at this point.

Sig can win every lawsuit. It won’t matter. The 320 is dead as a platform. They need to discontinue it and start over.

It appears this article was written and sponsored by Sig Sauer.

Whatstheuseanyway

Just too many questions about this firearm. I wouldn’t own one and if I was at a range and someone was using one, I’d leave.

swmft

NO actual experts people just felt any one get key word ….felt gun was bad ….no actual test data nothing ……….

Get Out

IMOA, any gun that’s got this much attention of possibly being unsafe is suspect, and I wouldn’t want one.

Here are a couple of videos of the P320 being tested.

The narrator explains the steps taken to get gun to fire. The guy testing the gun was able to get the gun to fire after taking the slack or creep out of the trigger.

These guys seriously abused some guns, and none fired.

hey you

I dont know, I have carried mine since they first came out, sent it back for the update, and cannot make it go click when I dont want it to. If you disable or modify things yeah you can make anything malfunction. One thing I have noticed is people do not reassemble it the right way when it has been apart. It aint a glock and needs to be put together like it says in the book, and 20 problems while not good is a small persentage of the number of them out there.
