Another issue to help lawyers get rich. After reading everything available - I'm neither concerned about the risk nor am I overly impressed by the Omaha Outdoors "testing"/hand wringing. OO induced a dropfire (with the commercial variant - no manual safety) and then set up the precise conditions to replicate the incident by creating a testing protocol to reliably and repetitively recreate conditions likely to be encountered .005% of the time in the real world (yes - I'm using hyperbole to make my point - they did too). Anything can be induced to fail if sufficient effort is expended. Zero defects is a pipedream; if Sig can address OO's concerns, perhaps with a lighter trigger or one with an integral trigger safety as they suggest, great. Otherwise, Sig has a business decision to make WRT risk vs. ROI. Personally, if I make a purchase decision for a Sig 320, it won't be influenced by the current tempest in a teacup. MOO, the solution is simple - don't abuse your expensive firearms by conducting drop tests. And I'm not a Sig "fanboy" for whatever that's worth.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
