Message: <blockquote data-quote="ten22sday" data-source="post: 4103612" data-attributes="member: 47628">I've owned several P320s and a P250 over the years, ended up parting with all but my M17 which I've used at the run n gun events I've shot at. Up until recently I considered it my SHTF pistol and was in the camp of disregarding the 'shoots on its own' controversy until seeing the video of the P320 firing in the officer's holster in Montville. It made me finally let go of the idea that it was only irresponsible cops shooting themselves and look more into the platform.What made me decide to look for an alternative to my M17/P320 platform is that the manual safety on the P320/M17/M18 only inhibits movement of the trigger and trigger bar, not the sear itself. Additionally, there is no firing pin block like there is on a Glock pattern striker mechanism or similar striker fired handguns. There is a striker block, but it's a different design (and likely the culprit for the initial batch of drop safety issues, but I'm no gunsmith so take that with a grain of salt). It can be argued back and forth as to the safety of the weapon as a whole, and certainly my M17 copy has had zero issues for me since buying it in 2020, but the Montville incident and Sig's flawed response to debunk it was enough to finally tip the scales for me.I won't be getting rid of my M17, I enjoy shooting it too much. Instead I settled on a Walther PDP to take its place for humping through the woods, and the Sig will enjoy a new status as safe queen, though a fair bit dirtier than my others.</blockquote>
