I am not at all familiar with the inner workings of the P320 trigger and striker but I have heard tails....
Can someone who is knowledgeable tell me how a loaded P320 with what I understand is a striker under tension is safer than a P228 or Beretta 92 in single action mode? Does the P320 have something analogous to a firing pin safety/block?

Original sources are best, here is the actual complaint:
https://www.smbb.com/wp-content/uplo...d-02-17-21.pdf
It is largely a copy and paste from the July 2020 lawsuit right down to using a cutaway diagram of an HK VP9 misrepresented as a P320. They also list ND’s involving NON P320 pistols such as the ND death of a PA State Trooper which occurred during PSP’s transition from Glock 21s to SIG P227s (a DA/SA pistol).
The current suit alleges the plaintiff shot himself while drawing the pistol from a holster.
There is no allegation the gun was dropped, bumped etc.
Given the prevalence of NDs which occur with all types of pistols when drawing and re-holstering I want to see more facts before I accept the plaintiffs version of events.
Is Sig going down hill? I was out of gun scene for a long time, Sig was good before, but sounds like they are getting worst. I was on and off looking at the 2022 DA/SA, maybe I should forget that all together.
With the new CAD design and simulations, CSC machining, how can quality be that bad? I thought all guns are much more reliable and better today than my days long time ago.
No. Their QA/QC is as good as it has been at the US branch.
SIG has had two major issues, both related to engineering and vetting new designs:
The first was when SIG tried to find cheaper ways to make their traditional products to compete with polymer frame guns. For example trying to make parts designed as forged parts via cheaper processes such as MIM. Nothing wrong with MIM parts designed to be MIM- HKs are full of great MIM.
This lead into the second issue - SIG has been doing sone of the most innovative engineering in the industry, however, they have been pushing designs out the door without them being fully vetted or “de-bugged.” This has plagued most of SIG’s newer designs including the P320, P365 and the MPX SMG/PCC.
Re: the SP2022 -it’s one of SIGs most vetted products and best values. I have one and would not hesitate to buy another. The SP 2022 has been well vetted via foreign police sales with hundreds of thousands in service in Europe.
