Forensic Animations Show Defects in Sig Sauer Handgun

Despite many stories of Sig Sauer P320 handguns misfiring, these defective weapons have not been recalled by the company. One victim, a police officer, suffered permanent injuries after his gun misfired and hit him.

Thousands of defective P320 guns were made for the military and law enforcement as part of a large contract signed with the government. The order was so large, the company may have rushed production, leading to the defects that cause misfires.

In May 2021, a local news network in Boston, Massachusetts reported on an investigation into misfires of these guns and found 36 reports of misfires between 2016 and late 2021. They reviewed media accounts and court records. In more than half of these cases, people suffered bullet wounds. Some of these wounds were life changing.

Although Sig Sauer started a voluntary upgrade program in 2017, the company never recalled the defective weapons. Even with the upgrade, there continue to be reports of misfires, both in the U.S. and Canada. The police officer who has sued the company was using a gun that had been upgraded.

Attorneys for the injured police officer are using forensic animations created by High Impact to prove misfires are caused by a problem with the striker foot and sear. Rounded edges on the striker foot may allow it to slip off the sear, resulting in the gun firing.

The animations recreate the gun from the inside out, including all the mechanisms of the trigger and safety. The animations also help to illustrate the differences between a normal gun and a defective gun.

One of the claims the officer’s attorneys needed to counter was that the officer mishandled the weapon and that was the reason for the misfire.

The victim was about to become the longest-serving police officer in his county, but he is no longer able to serve because of his injuries.

The animations created by High Impact were recently featured on Fox News.

Talking to Phillips Law Group was the best thing I could do, at first I had my doubts if they really spoke Spanish, but if there are people who speak Spanish and help you so humanely, I recommend that you talk to them in case of accidents, they send you to the doctor They are in charge of guiding you in absolutely everything and after everything was paid I received a monetary compensation which I did not expect and it was a great blessing

I came to Phillips law group as a very naive individual. They took me under their wing and they took great care of me. Montana is his name and he had my back when no one else did. I can't explain what a relief that was in a dark and painful time. They made sure I had all the care I needed and they made great sacrifices to ensure I came out happy. You cannot go wrong with having Philips law group represent you. I'd recommend them to my family and friends and to you strangers. Montana I'm in your debt.

My experience with Phillips Law Group was outstanding. They have represented me in two different cases and Kurt Maahs and his team have helped me every step of the way, Tracy and Hannah were always prompt in answering my emails. Nasser helped get me the settlement I desired. If you ever need representation from a firm who shows they care Phillips Law Group is a firm who shows they genuinely have the interest of their client. Thanks for all y’all did for my family and me. If ever I need representation again. Y’all will be my first choice.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
