Great. Just great. This kind of “it’s not my responsibility to be personally responsible for myself” lawsuit has ruined many a good company. Cessna comes to mind in the 80s when idiots who flew to the point of fuel exhaustion, crashed, and died. Their estates sued Cessna for allowing them to run out of fuel. Juries ate it up and dished out the money. Cessna stopped making airplanes for many years.

Hmmmm. I never sent my P320 in for the warranty fix. I have put at least 500 rounds through it without issue. I plan to do some mods, which include a new slide and trigger. Thought of even a full Wilson makeover. Guess I better get on that before it goes off and shoots my eye out.
From WIKI:
Further information: § Drop firing problem
Issues of drop firing or shooting its user in the leg while holstered[21] have continued sporadically with at least six departments removing the P320 from service.[22][23][24][25] As of April, 2023, an investigation has shown more than 100 people have reported that their own P320 fired without someone pulling the trigger, wounding at least 80 of them, including 33 officers at 18 law enforcement agencies.[25][26][27],
I think SIG IS responsible.
Glocks still have more legs shootings, and deaths, than any other pistol.

Pretty sure it was operator error/negligent discharge, not product failure.

That incident does come to mind.
Cessna always built good aircraft. Although they sit at the top of the list for accidents, I think it’s due to the fact that they target sales to the general aviation population that they are in that position.
Again, Question is
Who’s at the helm?

You should lobby to have a law passed. Do something! Maybe 5 laws!!!

Hundreds of thousands of P320s sold, and in EIGHT YEARS “more than a hundred people allege” that their guns fired all by themselves. Sounds like personal responsibility has exited this country. Unless you’re talking about holding SOMEONE ELSE personally responsible for your misdeeds.
