Did the SIG P320 Just Kill a U.S. Airman Without Anyone Pulling the Trigger?
About this video
Colion reports on a fatal incident at an Air Force base involving a SIG M18 handgun that allegedly discharged while holstered, prompting a service-wide pause on M18 use. He reviews the P320/M18’s controversial history, citing lawsuits and a Michigan State Police report that Colion says confirmed the mechanical possibility of uncommanded discharges. Colion shares his personal stance: while he acknowledges “a lot of smoke” suggesting a potential problem with the P320 platform, he hasn’t abandoned all SIG products but won’t carry P320s until the situation clarifies.
