As I understand it the issue with the P320 comes from differences in parts tolerances from factories in india not being held to the same quality. These parts when even slightly out of spec add up which causes the issue of the P320 discharging randomly. The Canadian version the C22 uses no such parts and this specific case was due to a modified unapproved holster being used which allowed the operator to have their finger in the trigger guard while holstered. I will bet that they lose the suit as there’s nothing wrong with their C22.

It was during an MP shoot. Using issued holsters. Time frame is during the roll out of the 320 to MP branch

The going evidence doesn’t back that up, the C22 isn’t prone to the same issue that normal P320s are, a qualified weapon technician would’ve inspected the weapon after the incident, and if the 2 instances of caf members shooting themselves with the C22 (1 was Cansof the other MP) both instances that I’m aware of were with non issued holsters. Unless you can state here or PMs where your source is from I think you’re mis informed.

EDIT: Upon further research regarding the case with the MP. I can’t say for sure it was an improper holster as I can’t find anything on it other than what I’ve been told (hearsay). But what I can say is a Weapons Technician upon investigating the firearm ruled it as user error. Meaning the firearm operated as it should without issue.

A qualified weapons tech looking at the gun doesn't mean much when qualified mechanics can't diagnose cars they are certified to work on.

User error does not equate to bad holster.... I also never said it was a pistol issue
