SIG not only passed all industry drop testing standards, they added more. SIG is not being incompetent or bush league about any of it. THE DROP TEST VIDEO PRODUCERS ARE. They are performing abuse that has no support in the drop testing protocols, they are not firearms engineers, they are just video commandos jumping to conclusions for the youtube results. And they make MONEY on hits. It's to their advantage to sensationalize this.
What part of this test is abusive?
I'm 67 years old, got my P320 to shoot steel plates, our club recently poured concrete slabs to shoot from which are great for recovering brass. Its not inconceivable that I could have a heart attack or stroke while shooting and drop the gun from about six feet high. Firing when dropped with an impact like this (which could be virtually identical as on the video) and possibly killing or injuring a bystander is just plain unacceptable to me and it should be to you!
In law enforcement use its easy to see many more potential causes of dropped guns. Note that the military contract guns do not appear to have the problem.
Seems these "amateurs" have proven that the "industry standard" drop tests are inadequate. Or are you claiming these guys are frauds like NBC using fireworks to ignite gas tanks on minor crashes to make a story?
No reason to have seat belts or airbags then, as all car crashes are ultimately driver incompetence.Bottom line - if you drop your gun, you are the problem.
