Pro 2 Customs, a holster and firearm finish/accessory company, announced Friday that it will no longer make holsters or “[provide] custom services” for Sig Sauer P320 pistols. They made clear their decision also includes the M17 and M18 models of the P320, both of which are designed for military issue. Pro 2 Customs’ announcement came just days after the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) made clear all AFGSC personnel are to pause use of Sig Sauer’s M18 pistol. Military.com reported the AFGSC’s pause on use of the M18 pistol came after 20-year-old Airman Brayden Lovan was killed by a “firearm discharge” Sunday at F.E. Warren Air Force Base. No details

It is the primary service pistol for the U.S. military.

I was thinking about buying the civilian version of the M18, but I’ve been hearing stories the past couple of months about these guns (Sig/Sauer P320’s) going off all by themselves. The latest story was about a P320 going off while still holstered on a police officer’s belt. This settles it. I won’t go anywhere near one of these guns. SIG needs to fix this ASAP, before their entire product line stops being boight.

The gun is made by New Hampshire-based manufacturer Sig Sauer, which is defending itself against multiple lawsuits alleging that the P320 pistol can go off without the trigger being pulled. The company has denies the claims, saying the weapon is safe, and has prevailed in some cases. https://www.wyomingnews.com/news/local_news/air-force-pauses-use-of-m18-pistol-after-death-of-21-year-old-airman-at/article_c0389562-a406-466e-a854-157a9bb7c7ed.html

A short travel, light trigger pull is wonderful, but without a thumb safety, it is iffy. There seems to something going on in the SiG320 that is not safe.

In addition to no thumb safety, no grip safety either. The Colt .45 had both. The military likes to say that safety is ALWAYS the number one priority.

I have a number of Sigs, all hammer fired, not striker fired. They have either a safety or a 10 pound pull on the trigger to fire when the hammer is down (double action). Striker fired is the newest innovation to give a consistent trigger pull that increases accuracy, but training can overcome the differences between the first double action trigger and subsequent single action 4 pound trigger pulls on a semiautomatic pistol. Catching clothing in the holster is a well known way to have a negligent discharge. A light trigger pull increases this possibility. When re-holstering my hammer fired pistols, my thumb is always on the hammer to insure it cannot move if something is pulling the trigger.

Mrs C bought his and hers 320s a couple Christmases ago. We have been very impressed by them so far, but they are range guns, not our carry guns. I prefer revolvers for that as they are safer, and when I do carry an auto the chamber is always clear. The only safety device I trust is me.

Not carrying a round in the chamber means that in an attack situation, with a semiautomatic, you have to rack a round into the chamber, which takes a second. That one second can get you killed. Bad decision for self defense. Always carry a round in the chamber. You may not have a second to work the slide. And I don't like revolvers for carrying, or for capacity. They work if you hit your target quickly. If not, you're dead, out of ammo. Fifteen or more rounds are better.

Various safety implementations are not solving the P320's problem, internals apparently shift allowing the striker to release. Sig has a huge problem here and it's name is on the line.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Eleven people were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday — with six in critical condition — in what a Michigan sheriff said appeared to be a random act. A suspect was in custody, authorities said. Around 4:45 p.m., a 42-year-old man entered the store and used a folding knife to stab 11 people, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on social media. A sheriff’s deputy arrived within minutes and took the man into custody, and people in the store also helped apprehend the suspect and treat victims, the sheriff’s office said. The victims’ ages weren’t immediately released.
Stanford-led study finds COVID vaccines

A Stanford University-led study estimates that COVID-19 vaccinations saved 2.5 million lives from 2020 to 2024, about 17 million fewer than earlier reports suggested, primarily among older adults. That’s the equivalent of one death averted for every 5,400 vaccine doses administered worldwide during the period, according to the findings published Friday in JAMA Health Forum. Official estimates say 7 million people died from the virus worldwide in those years. Led by three Stanford researchers, the study noted that 90% of the lives saved were among people 60 or older, and 82% stemmed from vaccinations administered before they tested positive for COVID.

Democrats’ approval rating with registered voters has plunged to a 35-year low, while Republicans maintain an edge on most of the top issues Americans care about, a new poll found. A whopping 63% of registered voters view Democrats unfavorably, dramatically eclipsing the 33% who had a positive impression, marking the lowest rating they scored since 1990, according to a Wall Street Journal survey. That abysmal rating for Democrats comes against the backdrop of lackluster figures for President Trump and Republicans. Trump’s approval rating sits at 46%, with 52% who disapprove of the commander in chief. The figure is higher than this point during his first term, which was 40%.

President Donald Trump has truly flipped the script on the Democrat/media narrative that tariffs were going to hike inflation and kill the economy Instead, inflation is under control and running lower than expectations, the stock market has hit record highs, and we have a surplus from the money coming in from tariffs.

You can almost hear the death rattle emanating from Media Matters for America (MMFA), the unofficial (wink-wink) media arm of the Democrat Party, which unironically calls itself the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media." From the New York Times: The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general.

A bipartisan poll shows a dramatic shift in public opinion on the state of the U.S. economy, with a net 23-point swing toward optimism since April, an uptick that parallels renewed economic momentum under President Donald Trump’s policies, according to officials and market data. The Wall Street Journal survey, conducted by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio and Democrat partner firm Impact Research, found that 47 percent of Americans now rate the economy as “excellent” or “good,” up from just 36 percent in April. Meanwhile, those saying the economy is “not so good” or “poor” dropped from 63 percent to 51 percent. The swing in public opinion

It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts. Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,

But I have been very reluctant to write about it because I am not a lawyer, so I can only use my common sense and layman's understanding of the law in what must be a very, very complex question. But Trump, who certainly has access to excellent legal advice, has just said that Obama has immunity from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed in conspiring to use falsified intelligence to undermine Trump's presidency, set up a phony impeachment, and perhaps put Trump in jail.

Unpopular opinion: all Muslim immigration should come to an end. When President Trump first called for a pause in Muslim migration he was met with hysteria. Yet despite the hysteria has Islamic immigration truly enhanced and contributed to this country? The answer is undoubtedly "no." Zohran Mamdani proves that while not all Islamic immigrants are terrorists, their values are not in line with America. Zohran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and became an American citizen just seven years ago, is a cautionary tale of the dangers of third-world Muslim immigration. Despite having benefited from the American dream, all he can seem to do is advocate for anti-American ideology.
