So Sigs are now ok to carry in the Air Force

Pretty much as I expected, really. After some real, careful review, All the “Uncommanded Discharges” of the M18/P320 were simply found to be mishandling.

Additionally, a review of weapons discharges throughout Air Force Global Strike Command showed none had been attributed to malfunctions, the news release stated.

 

Much like the early GLOCK’s, the trigger safety caused a lot of people to shoot their firearm because they weren’t handled correctly. This is what led to the implementation of the “New York Trigger” because the NYC cops couldn’t be trusted to not shoot themselves or others with a normal trigger weight so they needed an extremely strong trigger spring to prevent the negligent discharges. Back then, the consensus was often that GLOCK firearms were supposed to be dangerous, but nearly all of the issues were “Booger Hook on the BangSwitch” issues (or stuff in the trigger guard when reholstering) , not mechanical failures. I believe that this is the issue with the SIG’s as well. The statistics bear my conclusion out. At this point, it is Urban Legend level of idiocy though.

 

Sig has mishandled the issue, but they are getting screwed in Social Media.

  1. Had a LEO neighbor who shot himself in the hand with his newly issued Glock. He claimed he was “just putting it back in the box” but I suspect, given his personality, he was playing around with it.

  2. No sig for me.
    a. Dangerous
    2. overpriced
    thirdly, when the SHTF, Sig showed themselves to be untrustworthy
