@polytropia hey! can you dm me?

By "wiggly" I mean, when the wearer walks or sits/stands, the gun shifts slightly in the holster, compressing the slide & moving the striker relative to the seer. It could eventually work free—especially if any debris fell in that little gap while worn. The tolerances seem lax.

@champebarton I show in this video how my P320's striker safety lock tab gets stuck and doesn't reset like it's supposed to, due to overall poor manufacturing quality. The gun is mostly plastic and the stamped metal striker safety is wiggly and feels chintzy. Scary @sigsauerinc

like @joysharonyi and her video squad, who produced a moving documentary to accompany the story, or @brianrmonroe who animated a highly technical graphic of the internal operation of the pistol. The story is clearer, sharper, and more compelling for their contributions.

Almost a year ago now, I spotted a crop of lawsuits filed against the gunmaker SIG Sauer from people who claimed the company’s flagship pistol — the P320 — had fired on them when they didn’t pull its trigger. Some of the injuries were gruesome.

Big news: We’re officially launching our local reporting initiative. We’ve created local bureaus in two cities, Chicago and Philadelphia, and hired four great reporters. Today, we’re unveiling a dedicated home for coverage on our website: thetr.ac/7WPhs
