I bet your right!!!!!So far all the accounts I've read/seen have been far more easily explained by a gear malfunction than by mechanical failure internally that allowed the gun to literally fire "on it's own". By gear malfunction I mean debris or finger caught in gear/holster that manipulated the trigger. Having watched multiple videos on how the P320 system works internally the gun firing without the trigger being pulled would require failure of multiple systems simultaneously. So far I haven't read of anyone being able to replicate the issue.
Take the example of the youtuber whose gun went off "on its own!!!11!!". It fired during or shortly after holstering. And for a youtuber on the range actively competing, I find the lack of video of that portion suspicious. The picture originally included showed a jacket that could have gotten pulled into the holster.
As JD8 keeps bringing up, this is very like the issues that happened going from DA/SA guns some of which also had safeties to the Glock that had no manual safety and shorter trigger pull.
Count me as interested if there is a real problem, but highly suspicious if there actually even is smoke or just an attention grab by "gun reviewers/ content generators" and/or unwillingness to admit user error.

I don't know if it's the gun or the users but there's been enough smoke from this I'm expecting there's some fire behind it.
I carried a sig 226 40cal for years when I worked in law enforcement it was a fine weapon
I'm aware the 226 isn't in question I only mentioned it to clarify I like sig products and have had good experiences with them. Didn't want to come across like I'm anti sigThe 226 isn't the issue, I have owned one and used it for many years . None of the old generation pistols which spawned from the P220 are problematic . It's their striker fired guns which seem to be at fault. Honestly I doubt the will make something which works better for me than the P226 in a DA/SA 9mm
