A pistol sold in the US and made by Sig Sauer fires without touching the trigger, a lawsuit says. Several are suing after getting hurt. Lawsuit against Sig Sauer A gunmaker promised one of its pistols sold in the U.S. “won’t fire unless you want it to” — but a new federal lawsuit argues that’s a lie. The lives of experienced gun users, who are suing Sig Sauer, Inc., were “upended” by the company’s “dangerously defective pistol,” a complaint filed Nov. 30 in federal court in New Hampshire states. Twenty plaintiffs named in the lawsuit became gunshot victims when their own Sig Sauer P320 Pistol fired unexpectedly, without the trigger ever being touched, according to the complaint representing the plaintiffs nationwide. (…) On one occasion, a Pennsylvania state trooper was killed when another trooper’s Sig Sauer pistol fired without him touching the trigger during a safety training in 2015, the complaint states. The lawsuit called the pistol the “most dangerous pistol for its users sold in the United States market.” “The only way to stop Sig Sauer from continuing to sell this dangerous weapon is through the courts,” another attorney representing the plaintiffs, Robert J. Mongeluzzi, said in a statement. Those suing the company are from several states, including Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Washington and more. GUN GOES OFF IN ITS HOLSTER Many of the plaintiffs suing Sig Sauer were shot and injured by the P320 pistol when it randomly went off in their holsters, according to the complaint
