Whoops, my earlier post, I drop the NOT out of a key phrase. To late to edit.
My point, trying to balance this issue in the middle.
Yes, some of the cases don't sound credible, and even at 100 cases out of 100's of thousands fielded, it is very small.
On the other hand, some of the cases are very credible, and the claim is the pistol went off on its own, so this is not something that should be ignored.
Sig should be approaching this as trying to understand what happened in these cases and looking for a flaw in their design or a flaw in the manufacturing. There could be a defect in these 100 that fired on their own.
The guy that in a competition had a P320 go off in the holster with his hands up, with multiple eye witness's, Sig told him they inspected it and found a defective return spring. Which return spring, I am only aware of one on the front of the striker. If its that, I can't imagine how it being bad would cause the pistol to go off on its own.
IIRC, military insists on a 7lb trigger, while most civilian you can find a 5lb or less trigger.

I just measured my Sig P320 M18 trigger pull at 4.75lbs. BUT, the civilian version is different from the Military, a few things here and there, I think its really just the slide for the rear sight and RDS provisions, the extractor bolt/pin as well. I suspect they are made on two totally different lines. And, I installed a Sig Flat Trigger, which I "read" some reviews its makes for a lighter trigger, it did look like it had a different length lever to the trigger bar.Don't forget the mil has heavier triggers, well most of the time. I haven't been able to find pull weight on ant 320 versions.

Blade Safety? Is that the Trigger Unlock, like on Glocks?Did Sig ever reveal the reason why they removed the blade safety from the original 320 FCU design?
