Wouldn’t you know it, a screenshot of an anonymous post on the internet claiming that it discharged while inside a holster appears to not be accurate.

    So there is an example of misfiring, it just takes very special circumstances. See this YouTube video.

    A slight pressure on the trigger and a little sideways manipulation of the slide and it goes bang.

    Not saying that’s what happened to the airman or that forgotten weapons was wrong, just more recent info.

      Oh wow, someone finally found something. I love the comments there btw… “SIG IS DONE!” and whatnot lol

      When this really looks like a minor tolerance stacking issue at best. Something is causing the slide not to rest properly and allowing movement, which frees up room for the hammer and/or safety. But with SIGs being modular you can easily swap the frame, slide or anything really. So it should be a simple fix they can rollout.
