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.

Gun owners: "Guns don't just go off by themselves"
Sig: "Challenge accepted!"
The p320 govt issue had a recall for nd when being dropped. Glad i bought an apx
Yeah, ALEC
Looks like accidental discharge by officer
I would no own a sig junk trout line wight
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.
If she would've reported on the MPD holster discharges all you p320 guys would see that there was a legit reason they recalled them.
🗑️
Well with everyone claiming it’s the firearm perhaps…….. but just maybe he should have waited until he got out of the car…… before drawing the firearm!
So he shot himself
Let’s learn to handle our weapons and not blame the gun.
I thought the firing pin safety was supposed to keep the gun from going off if the engagement fails on the sear.
Gun was in his hand. He shot himself and is trying to get the check.
First off that cop should have never pulled is gun 🔫 for a traffic stop an cops do it all the time cops need Better control an training.!
This guy is a SIG spokes man not a independent expert. I've seen a P230 go off in a holstered firearm while in the locker room.
P320s have a hair trigger not suprised at all
It appears the presenter pointed his pistols at his wrist and forearm multiple times… is that supposed to be avoided?
Defect p320 is trash or any sig for that matter
So the cop shot himself and doesn’t want to claim responsibility? Some had issues but sounds like his was found to be working properly.
100% sigs are dumpster manure of a handgun
Junk, dangerous junk.
Not a negligent discharge, the p320 is known for having these issues. Sig has lost its reputation overnight.
I've seen plenty of videos where these guns are failing drop safety…. This guy clearly unintentionally shot himself.
a gun can’t magically fire without pulling the trigger
I've said all along it was negligence. This is madness.
Officers are the worst with firearms. There is something else going on here.
Last time i checked, the m17 insert with manual safety has had ZERO issues.
Gun sucks
The 320 is a piece of junk.
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
does that gun not have a firing pin block on it ??
I’m old, safety conscious and have a rule. I never carry a firearm without an external safety. 😊
Hate striker fire weapons
Firearms expert is clearly a sig shill
