![]() ![]() Last week the Dallas Police Department suspended use of the P320 citing drop test concerns. That officer has now filed a $7 million lawsuit against Sig Sauer, alleging that the gun has an defective safety mechanism. Sig Sauer claimed that the gun had been extensively drop tested, but a report emerged that a Connecticut police officer had been injured by his P320 after it had been dropped while in his holster. Most modern handguns are "drop safe" in that, if accidentally dropped from waist-high level with a round in the chamber, they will not accidentally fire. The same action cocks the pistol, and at that point, if the trigger is pulled the weapon will fire. In recent days, rumors emerged on the Internet that the P320 was not "drop safe"-that is, it would fire if a round was loaded into the chamber. The M9 will be replaced by the new Sig P320.
