Wisconsin Cop Shot with His Own Sig Sauer P320 Pistol — Negligence or Defect?

Wisconsin Cop Shot with His Own Sig Sauer P320 Pistol — Negligence or Defect?

A Wisconsin police officer accidentally shot himself while drawing his pistol during a pursuit in December. In response, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department has decided to ditch the Sig Sauer P320 handgun as their standard service weapon for officers, although an investigation into the incident deemed there were no defects in his weapon. A review of the bodycam appears to show the officer’s finger inside the trigger guard. Several firearms enthusiasts and law enforcement officers are now part of a lawsuit against the manufacturer, claiming the P320 pistol has a defect that causes it to fire without the trigger being pulled. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy breaks it down with armorer Steve Wolf.

  1. I am a 25-year veteran of my Suburban police dept. A SWAT sniper. I have had my Sig Sauer P220 45 acp since 1988 in the US MARINES. 1987-1991. I got on my dept. In 1993, after college and 16 weeks in our Academy. I have been using my Sig Sauer P320 45 acp since 2014. No problems, no discharges. So who knows.

  2. Let's not forget that most if not all modern handguns have a trigger disconnect inside. Which means you have to pull the trigger to push up a little pin to allow the striker to slide forward to hit the primer
