Looks like a recall will be coming.
My question would be, what (if any) damage was done on the first TWO drops. This was a third drop. I was looking for a first drop firing. I mean, I get it, the whole safety thing. But this is akin to hitting your funny bone, it needs to be "just right". The perfect storm. I bet it would never happen on grass, dirt, softer asphalt, carpeted floor, etc.. You get the idea. Perfect storm on a nice, hard cement floor.
That’s “terrible shooting” as in “you can’t hit the broad side of a barn” and not the “oh the humanity” meaning of the phrase.
NYPD cops are given a choice. They can have a SIG P226, a Glock 19, or a Smith & Wesson 5946. But no matter what they choose, the triggers are modified to have a 12 pound pull for every shot fired.
If it's damaged enough from dropping that it's not safe, then it's not rugged enough.
I don't subscribe to that opinion. How indestructible can any 1 manufactured item be? How many degrees of angles, heights, conditions, weights, temperature, moisture, etc... need to be present when testing a gun drop? Every probable condition can not be simulated.
As a result of input from law enforcement, government, and military customers, SIG has developed a number of enhancements in function, reliability, and overall safety including drop performance.
"Went to a local gun shop a half hour ago and bought it off the shelf".Such a shame. Great gun to shoot. I cannot in good faith recommend their purchase right now. TTAG bought their P320 brand new for that test
