US Military Made a BIG Mistake Choosing SIG P320 M17/M18!?!

The US Air Force Global Strike Command is returning the Sig Sauer M18 service pistol to duty after a pause due to an incident involving an uncommanded discharge. A thorough inspection revealed issues with component wear on 191 out of 125,000 M18 pistols, specifically on safety levers, striker assemblies, and sears. The Air Force has cleared the M18 of uncommanded discharges without a trigger pull, but recommends owners of M17, M18, and P320 models consider having their firearms inspected by SIG Sauer.

This video discusses Sig Sauer's brand reputation following the P320 'fiasco' and offers advice for recovery.

This video discusses the FBI's findings that the SIG P320, M17, and M18 are unsafe for duty use due to issues with the striker safety lock.
