Sorry, a bit OT, but re the picture: do cops ever wear uniform hats other than on formal occasions? I personally avoid police officers but can’t remember seeing that for 40 years. I won’t ask about neckties, forget about it!

In reply to Darkman. It could well be both. Like I said, it's very suspect that they recommend that procedure to agencies. I'm as interested in the technical opinions of politicians as I am courts and juries.

In reply to X marks the spot. I vote for poor firearms handling and a lack of proper training. Seems the courts and 1 jury tend to agree it's not a technical issue with the firearm.

In reply to X marks the spot. The military uses the manual safety version. That could make a difference.

The P320 is the only firearm I’ve ever heard of where the manufacturer recommends to LE agencies that officers should keep the gun unloaded before their shift and then after it. There might actually be a design flaw in the sear instead of lol cops r dum.

Before someone cries, ,”but the military uses them and doesn’t have that issue!”, the above procedure I described is SOP for them so it wouldn’t.

It IS possible this gun has an inherent design flaw Sig USA knows about and won’t fix because it would cost more money to redesign and manufacture a new modular FCS than not.
