7 MORE GUN OWNERS ALLEGE SIG SAUER’S P320 FIRED WITHOUT TRIGGER PULL
New Hampshire gun-maker Sig Sauer is facing another round of civil lawsuits alleging the company’s P320 pistol fired without a trigger pull, causing serious injuries.
The new court filing, which includes allegations made by seven victims from across the country, marks the latest litigation involving the P320. Lawyers contend the gun has a design flaw that can cause unintentional discharges without a trigger pull.
Sig Sauer did not respond to a request for comment, but the company has previously stated the weapon is safe.
Among those now suing the gun company is Jorge Luis Munoz Palacios, a police officer in Puerto Rico, who claims his holstered P320 discharged in a Walgreens parking lot in 2022 as he seated himself in a vehicle. Palacios had to undergo surgery to remove a bullet from his left leg, according to court paperwork.
Other alleged victims include, Ray Tillotson, a New Jersey police officer who says his department-issued P320 discharged while he was practicing at a gun range.
John Mazur-Baker, a Marine Corps veteran now living in Michigan, claims his holstered P320 discharged as he removed his belt.
Sig Sauer has previously settled lawsuits involving alleged discharges, and the company successfully blocked a proposed class action lawsuit that centered on financial harm for P320 owners.
