None of what you said changes the fact a qualified technician inspected the pistol and found no mechanical faults or reasons for it to just discharge and ruled it a user error. The issue with the sig is 100% due to the trigger bar and striker not being machined correct to tolerances due to poor quality control that doesn’t affect the C22. See Hilton Hicks report.

and to reiterate: that doesn't change the fact that the P320 no matter in what variation is an inherently flawed design. There's no getting around it. I wouldn't place much trust in it just because it's designated as "C22/C24" here.

Could it be better with fire control group parts that are milled out on a CNC machine instead of MIM'd? Perhaps, but I would still be leery & doubtful that it would have as long of a service interval compared to a Glock.

Also "Qualified Technician" doesn't mean shit, if there isn't any vetting to find ties of any kind to SIG in any shape or form, he can be some random hobo picked off the street for all I care.

If you don’t trust a Weapons Technician trained on the C22 platform with the sig technical books idk what to tell ya 🤷🏼‍♂️ time will tell what happens with the law suit but I bet it gets tossed

A qualified tech looked at my p320 before it blew up. I know of 4 people who have blown up handguns. All were p320s.

Ever occur to you that the qualified tech doesn't know what to look for? Just like the mechanic that could not diagnose my car?
