    I wasn’t able to tell from the article what this is actually about. Is this about dropping the P320 and it going off or something else?

      No, the drop safety thing was “fixed” a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.

    Ah yes, because the details of polymer framed pistols really are such a big military secret. Nevermind that everyone in the industry and their dog offers a polymer framed pistol of their own.

    I hope they call them out on their bullshit.

      It’s 100% bullshit. There were problems with this pistol pretty much immediately after it was released. There were scattered reports of accidental discharges and anybody who knew anything about firearms was avoiding it. I can only imagine what those documents will show and it’s not good.
