In the Washington Post article they have embedded video of two incidents. In one you can see the SRO slightly pull his pistol out of the holster and push it back in, like he was adjusting it, when the gun went off. In the other you see the gun in a swinging bag go off. Not sure what I want to conclude from these videos.

From Washington Post story -
Ashley Catatao, a police officer in suburban Boston who said she was shot in the thigh by her P320 last year, said she no longer keeps a bullet in the chamber of the gun she is required to carry.

If you watch the Catatao video in the WaPo story, it gave me some serious pause.
This article is a hit piece.Originally Posted by DamonL
Not against the 320 per se, that is just incidental.
The article is co-authored by an anti gun activist employed by a partisan anti-gun group “The Trace.” They style themselves an “anti gun violence group,” but we know what that means.
They want to use this to subject, the firearms industry to so-called consumer product safety” regulations. Just like the consumer product safety regulation states like California and New Jersey have tried to use to mandate technology that doesn’t actually exist to effectively ban guns.
Not to mention the information from ICE cited in the article is both inaccurate and incomplete.

There is absolutely no new information in that article. What it shows, however, is how capable is the law firm behind this law suit. It does help with the settlements. Personally I hope Sig will not settle it and go to trial.
While Stoeger has a greater following than the others that have posted about the p320 kabooms, there’s lots of testimonies on FB, IG and Enos of people with similar issues.
I’m glad I switched away from the p320.
There’s way too much smoke for numerous issues.

Been there done that myself with “factory” ammo no less. Glock replaced the frame and I continued carrying it with not another issue. Without knowing the provenance of the ammo it’s kind of hard to take a side.
While it has been pointed out the Glock tab trigger was designed as a drop safety, it seems something like this may have prevented this.
I hear people saying this over and over, and while true it is only part of the story. Straight from Glocks's webpage:
" The trigger safety is designed to protect against firing, if the pistol is dropped or the trigger is subjected to lateral pressure. "
