This is a moral issue.  I can't imagine that folks at Sig thought that there was ZERO issue with the gun.  There is / was too much "smoke" for there to be no fire.  This is the failing that aligns with the current mindset of western business leadership - wherein the only thing that matters is the dollars.  They probably did statistical modeling that showed them that the risk-cost to the company of continuing to deny that there was a problem and pay settlements when something happened, were less than the assumed costs of making an admission, which would likely have included impact to their military contracts.  

Honor is dead in most publicly held western companies.  Their fear of the Wall Street analysts and shareholders is greater than their desire to do the right thing.

I saw this original video last night, and didn't post it here.  Felt like I was beating up in SIG too much, just let it go.

Well, it's all out in the open tonight, from Valhalla VFT...

Brandon Herrera's Meme Review focused on it this week...  One of the best meme based suggestions was to put the president of Sig in a locked room... cut a hole in the ceiling, and start dropping loaded P320's through the hole until he cops to the issue.

Instead of finding their balls, grabbing them HARD, and owning up to this, in light of all the rapidly mounting evidence - they do some shiit like this...  Unreal...

the take up on the trigger (taking out the slack, hitting the firing wall), completely disengages the striker safety.  Proven right here.  That shouldn't happen.

This is just Issue #1 with this gun - this has absolutely NOTHING to do with manipulating the slide side-to-side, and setting it off on it's own.  This is simply a test of the striker safety.  Only.

The striker safety is COMPLETELY disengaged, just with taking up the wall, taking up the slack in the trigger.  No Bueno.

That is a great video and shows just what greed can do over honor and quality control....

Probably one of the best know examples of this was the Ford Pinto. Of course with no internet it took a while for non industry types and the media to see a pattern. Once Ford saw the problem there was a look at cost to fix vs coast to deal with court cases/payouts... guess which one they chose? The other thing driving their decision was Ford promised to deliver a car that was under 2000lbs and inder $2000.

 Sig Sauer( Swiss company,German company and US company) are all seperate entities owned by the same holding company. While they do work closely together for legal,tax and other reasons they are on paper three seperate companies.

  People are placed by L&O Holdings for the sole purpose of making money for the partners and share holders. The brand only  has value to the holding company based on sales. If the Sig Sauer brand fails the holding company will buy another name, use that and simply transfer all the plants,tooling etc to the new name.

 Back in 2019 executives where given suspended sentances and the company paid huge fines( not the executives) for illegally selling pistols to the Columbian government. Basically the pistols were produced by the German group which couldn't get and end user certificate for the sale to Columbia. So the pistols were sent to the US group that then forward them to Columbia. They only got caught 'cause someone blew the whiste on them.

 Holding companies like this are the corparate equivelent of clearcutting a forest with no concern to replanting. Which is why they will never admit fault on their part. For them it's better to let it burn to the ground and have another part of the holding company buy the assests for pennies on the dollar.
