Well Glocks are superior so…..

@sobo

No video, so to me, it's just more, "It went off by itself! I didn't touch it!" noise again. Would like to look at that video to see if there was a struggle on the part of the perp trying to unholster that firearm that caused it to discharge.

And the article references The Trace and WaPo, as if those two asshat organizations are some sort of experts on gun handling...

I watched the video. That's sketchy! Glad I moved all my P320s and went back to Glock a few months back.

Glad no one was hurt.

Ah, "The Trace"

The Trace is an American non-profit journalism outlet devoted to gun-related news in the United States. It was established in 2015 with seed money from the largest gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, which was founded by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, and went live on 19 June of that year. The site's editor in chief is Tali Woodward.

I think it could be a holster issue.
Take a look at my GT link above if you want to see some still shots taken from the video.

OK, the OP article in the Day doesn't contain a video, but I watched the video referenced in this post and played it back on 0.25 normal speed and watched it several times. What I saw was the officer whose gun discharged reach down and grab the leg of the perp and lift it up. Although the gun/holster was partially obscured, it appeared to me that the perp's leg contacted the holstered firearm, which then went off. This fact causes me to have more concerns than just parroting the typical, "It went off by itself! I didn't touch it!" nonsense. Sure, maybe the officer didn't touch the gun, but it sure as hell appears that the perp's leg did...

I will for sure. And you may be right. But I have zero faith in the 320 at the moment.

I realize Glock went through growing pains as well. But they have been squared away.

just as many Glock haters. Let's be fair. Lol.

So, you're saying as long as a guy packing a Sig in a holster doesn't brush up against anything, there is a fair chance that gun won't go off by itself? What, maybe 50/50?

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

I'll save you the trouble. I know. I know.

It must be your computer no struggle it was a holstered gun

Was probably thinking impure thoughts too.... the whole lot of them probably deserved it

You found me out!

I hate sig so much that I own two 365 and a 320 just so I can self-loathe



I really like the 365 just wish it didn't have a mind of its own

 

[MTpockets]

Strange..... I didn't even "click" the video, and it started playing.

I contend that it may have been due to an improperly holstered pistol and/or an improper holster.
Something looks off if you look at it frame by frame.

Maybe. I honestly just watched at regular speed.

But one thing is for sure. That's not the first time I've heckled @sobo about a Sig.

Full disclosure: Love my P238.

But was it a properly holstered gun ?
Look at how it is "splayed outward" in that first frame of the video.
Does not look right to me.
Then after the discharge, the officer stands up and the holster looks to far away from his hip.
Good breakdown in my GT link above.

Yeah, the Sig
