Unexpected discharge… and it’s not a Glock.

Sig ain't the company it used to be , my old fashioned P226 works great go figure .

In my opinion that new sig sucks. Looks silly, feels weird. Surprised it caught on at all.

I've seen people on youtube saying theirs was post fix and still had the issue. I don't trust it...they are lucky that none of the P365 guns have this issue!

Can you post those videos?

Anyone old enough to remember the term "Glock Leg?" Yeah... it wasn't Glock's fault back then either.

Glocks have a giant piece of metal blocking the firing pin that can't be moved unless the trigger is pulled. I am not familiar with the 1st gens so maybe that was them? HOWEVER, plenty of people who pulled the trigger somehow that shot their junk.

The PD should just revert to using .357 Magnum revolvers. 6 shots is plenty for normal police work.

Most would never hit the target in 6 shots. That’s why they have 17+1 Glocks.

I thought Sig fixed the issues with the P320

You obviously don't know what I'm talking about.

must not; wouldn't be my first time but I'm all ears.

EDIT: Since no replies yet, I'm adding to my reply...I just came across this and the grip safety (which can be disabled) on a striker fired gun is intriguing...Keltec has always been an innovator. This gun is light years ahead of their past offering though.

It's pretty easy to google, but here you go....

“Glock Leg" is what happens when a holstered handgun accidentally discharges, wounding the carrier in the leg and/or foot. It can happen with several different pistols (except revolvers) but it happens most often with Glocks due to their infamously iffy trigger safeties.

Basically it's a sarcastic reply to individuals saying the "gun went off by itself." Which they previously said about Glocks in the 90s.

FWIW, I don't think the OP is looking for a 9mm for bear/woods defense.
