holstered P320 pistol fired without touching trigger

We have discussed dangers of the P320 before. I know the pistol is a good shooter, but more evidence they are still dangerous:

the video shows Richardson sitting in his cruiser on a highway before attempting to help a stranded motorist, with the officer having his holstered P320 pistol suddenly fire as he attempts to exit his vehicle.

...The strongest evidence introduced at trial that SIG Sauer knew or should have known that the P320 could potentially fire without an intentional trigger pull is the Roscommon incident," McCafferty wrote in the ruling. "However, there was no evidence introduced at trial to show that SIG Sauer was aware of the Roscommon incident at the relevant time: in December 2016, when Guay purchased his P320 in reliance upon the advertisement.

The lawsuit claimed SIG Sauer knew advertisements about the pistol's safety features were false

SIG only won the lawsuit because they argued they didn't have the evidence before this shooting.

I wonder if Alec Baldwin is trying to change his story as we speak to say it wasn't a single-action .45 LC he was holding, but a SIG P320.

Does the P320 have a history of accidentally discharging?

We had a deputy sheriff have a negligent discharge in the county jail. He had removed his pistol to a locker, as required when visiting. When leaving, upon re-holstering his pistol, he had his car keys in the same hand and keys caught in the trigger guard as he shoved the pistol into the holster.

I bet this cop did something similar. IMHO, pistols don't just discharge because they want to.

Yes, it has a history of safety problems, especially drop safety: The P320® Voluntary Upgrade Program is a SIG SAUER initiative to upgrade P320 pistols at no additional cost.

This is another incident of a holstered pistol discharging:

...IMHO, pistols don't just discharge because they want to.

The P320 has a history of exactly that.
