Sig Sauer maintains that the P320 — which is now the standard-issue pistol for U.S. soldiers across the globe — is safe.
Soldiers at U.S. military facilities in Missouri, Virginia, Louisiana, and Amman, Jordan were seriously injured when their Sig Sauer gun unintentionally discharged, according to Army records.
NHPR provided Sig Sauer with copies of the nine reports, but the gunmaker did not address questions about the individual incidents.
The deal, valued at up to $580 million, called for Sig Sauer to provide weapons, ammunition and parts for 10 years.
Meanwhile, dozens of lawsuits have been filed against Sig Sauer over the P320, rooted in concerns about the gun’s safety.
