Sig Strikers .. Not me

[Lobo2087]

There was a problem with sig holsters, especiallythe early 40 models. It appears many of the earlier safariland holsters had enough room for something, a finger, key, seatbelt attachment etc to get into and affect the trigger. The newer safariland holsters are higher and tighter to prevent that. Ill try to find old and new and post difference photos. Anyhow, many leo carry keys, cuff keys etc on a hook on the belt, not saying it is as i cant tell but i have to wonder if that MIGHT be the cause when he bent over. Jerking and standing back up would likely remove the item protruding if connected to the belt and may go unnoticed

We changed to the new holster and new 9mm model years ago and the only negligents we have experienced are someone with their booger picker in the wrong place


Anyone wants to get rid of their dangerous sig i have 200 bucks on standby

Okay, the gun was not all the way down into the holster. BUT, dig the weasel-speak from Sig:

"Even if properly holstered, the features of the involved holster allow for foreign object intrusion and interaction with the trigger, as has been seen in other incidents.We regret that the involved agency jumped to conclusions regarding the cause of this discharge without first carefully examining the footage of the incident and (did not provide) SIG SAUER with an opportunity to assist in the examination of the involved firearm.

Sure, give it all over to Sig for examination. I'm sure they'll make an honest assessment and get to the truth-of-the-matter, LOL. Please explain to us WHAT contacted the trigger, "...as has been seen in other incidents." :naughty:

Was it the same holster as this gal was wearing at the 2:00 mark?

Look, most of us recall when Glocks first came on strong into LE. There was a learning curve where the troops no longer had 12-16lb triggers requiring a long, rolling pull. Many, many oopsies back-in-era. However, striker-fired is the norm now. If this is a booger-hook issue, why aren't there comparable numbers of such occurrences going on with platforms like Glock, the M&P, the APX, CZ-P10 series, Ruger SR, or American? If it's a holster issue, again...why no problems with the other brands when carried in those SAME make/model holsters. :think:

JUST saw this one this morning. He really calls out Sig on the Montville PD discharge, and shows why.
