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.

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.

Isn’t strange too, how in about a decade Sig has ALL US military small arms contracts? Pistol, infantry rifle, sniper/DMR, machine guns, proprietary cartridge’s.
Not even FN had it that good. Sure they made all the machine guns, and eventually all the M16A2/A4 but they still had to compete with Colt for M4 contracts, and Beretta had the pistol contract.
Bribes.

Sig is evil. They’ve known for a decade their P320 is lethal… To it’s owners. And they’ve done nothing but spew lies. Any honest company would pull the gun from the market till they had a fix, and conduct a mandatory recall and if no fix can be found, reimburse the customers or offer them a different model Sig.
But no. They just got immunity in their home state of NH. It’s as hard to sue Sig there as it is to sue Pfizer.
I’ll never buy any Sig firearm, ammo, scope or anything else. They are EVIL.
