98Z5V Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 SIG found a loophole, and exploited it - in their own home state... Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 This came out 9 days ago from right now. KING5 News! My old hometown news source from Seattle, for over a decade! SIG is so fukked, with the 320. Good thing they have so many SOF Contracts with the Army. I don't think that will save them, though, but it's delaying all the other shiit, no doubt.

308USK Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 What's driving me a little nutz on this subject is that there are at least three (3) YT channels that have identified a possible, ney...probable issue point AND how to fix the issue. Sig Sauer could fix the issue and save face/reputation before they lose the USG contracts they have. I will say that I checked the seer movement on my M17 and it does not behave like those I've seen in the videos. BUT, still considering 'the fix' to ensure to negligent discharges, even with the safety selector engaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigNate Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) Here's the problem. Businesses who do business in America have learned how the American legal system works. In many cases, the seething mass of liars (lawyers) in this country see to it that the financial punishment a company receives, even for an honest mistake, is so horrific, that the mathematically smart thing to do is to deny, obstruct, lie, hide, and generally avoid responsibility. The Mrs. and I had a recent experience in this space. After 25+ years the old faithful Maytag washer gave up the ghost - and the Mrs. said something like: "you know how I know we've made it?... we can afford to buy an absurdly priced / featured front loading, high efficiency, washer and dryer set..." I said: "yes dear..." and later that day we came home with nearly $3000 worth of appliances from LG. This was a seriously fancy setup... every bell and whistle... Well - the washer never really washed very well given the Obama EPA limits on how much water it can use - and about 8-9 months after buying them, I walk into the house through the laundry room, and my super-shiny spaceship of a dryer is... well... GONE! It took a minute for me to locate it - in the back yard. My teen-age son had unplugged it and drug it out there when it caught fire. We call LG warranty / support and let them know what happened. Their tone seemed a bit weird - but the "we'll send a technician out" response had us hopeful. The guy shows up, pulls the back panel off, and the whole interior (outside the drum) is filled with charred lint. He announces that he'll send in a report and get back to us. A couple of days later we received certified mail from LG - advising us that they had denied our warranty claim because the fire was the result of "operator error" - we must not have cleaned the lint trap per the "every load" instructions. The Mrs. turns all kinds of pretty colors, starts using just as colorful a set of language, and says something to the effect of: "I couldn't swear on a stack of bibles that I've cleaned it 'Every load' - but I bet I've cleaned it 99% of the time - the same way that I have cleaned the lint screen in the dryers I've been using for the last 40 years - none of which ever burst into flames." Long story short - LG was dug in on their position. We soon found out that they'd had a number of claims for fires that had resulted in hours fires, lost homes, injuries, etc. There was a class action suit out there - and I'm guessing that some day the liars (lawyers) running the class action suit will get $100,000,000, and each of us who had dryers burst into flames will get $20.00. The legal chatter around it was that the "smart money" for LG as to deny, reject claims, and never admit fault or a design flaw - because doing so would exacerbate the future damage claims from folks injured or killed in fired caused by their faulty devices (not to mention the cost of recalling and repairing or replacing the many thousands of defective products). I'm a vengeful SOB... every time someone offers me an LG product I tell this story... "We've got an AWESOME deal on an LG OLED TV right now - much better value for dollar than that Sony you are looking at..." Me: "Let me tell you why I'll never spend another penny with LG..." My issue isn't that they had a design flaw - it's that they gave in to the liars (lawyers) and refused to own their issue. I love my Sig 226 and 229s... and my trusted factory carbine is a Sig 516 Patrol - which has never done me wrong. I'll almost certainly buy more 2nd hand 226/229 stuff - but until they get their liars (lawyers) in check and simply own the issue instead of the lie, hide, and deny strategy - I won't be spending money on new stuff. FWIW - I blame the current state of our tort system just as much. It creates fertile ground for this sort of immoral response to a design flaw. Oh - and we sold the LG washer - and bought a plain old used Maytag washer / dryer set - that runs like a top...
