This video details a critical safety concern regarding older Sig P320 models, specifically their susceptibility to unintentional discharge when dropped at certain angles due to a heavier, non-upgraded trigger. The presenter compares an older P320 subcompact with a newer M17 variant, highlighting the absence of a trigger dingus and the heavier trigger pull on the older model. Sig Sauer's voluntary upgrade program is discussed as a solution to address these drop-safe issues, which were a key factor in securing military contracts.

Ultimately, the modified Glock 26X with an upgraded trigger and grip is favored for its handling and shooting experience over the stock 43X.

This review critically examines the Sons of Liberty Gunworks (SOLGW) Mark 1 rifle, distinguishing between the SOCOM contract variant and the civilian 'scam' version.
