Yeah the only guns I know of that can just “go off” either have a hair trigger that’s worn or are of exceptionally shit build quality like say the Ross Rifle.
I hadn’t heard that one. The theory I’ve heard most was that they recycled a previous trigger from a different pistol but left out a drop safety mechanism when they changed it to a stricker instead of a hammer system.
Yeah, the last time I checked there were a couple different running theories. I hadn’t heard there were more issues separate from the drop fires. But, I was never a fan of sig in the first place. So I haven’t been following it too closely. From what I remember it just seemed like the gun was a Frankensteined together money grab.
If you take the worst gun, modify it to have the lightest trigger possible, if you don’t have it just sitting around with a round in the chamber it won’t just “go off”. It’s wild that the simplest safety precaution save a lot of lives but nope these people need their dick extensions to always be ready to go.
Oh I was just making note that there are ways for a gun to to fire by itself for one reason or another when loaded. Regardless making sure the gun is cleared is a pretty damned good way of ensuring it doesn’t do that. Or alternatively leave a Ross Rifle behind for the Germans when you leave a trench so it’s their problem.

Or they are a Sig Sauer P320… Which is of good quality but poor design.
Wasn’t one of the theories that it had tolerance stacking issues and part wear that made it worse?
I’d count that as poor quality

iirc that was the cause of the original drop safety issues and the more recent uncommanded discharges are still unknown

And, even if it were to, it doesn’t kill someone unless you point it at them.
