NEWINGTON, NH — A federal lawsuit alleging that a SIG SAUER P320 pistol discharged without a trigger pull has been officially dismissed after the plaintiff, a Puerto Rico police officer, admitted in court that his firearm was not defective. The case, Berrios v. SIG SAUER , was dismissed by the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico following the officer’s admission that the P320 cannot fire without a trigger pull.

This marks the 18th case dismissed against SIG SAUER concerning claims of unintended discharges of the P320. Over the past three years of litigation, SIG SAUER has consistently defended the safety and reliability of its striker-fired pistol. The company presented detailed scientific evidence demonstrating that the P320 does not fire without the trigger being pulled and contains no manufacturing defects.

SIG SAUER Defends P320 Against Allegations

SIG SAUER’s Senior Director of Communications, Samantha Piatt, responded to the case’s dismissal, stating:

“We are extremely pleased with the result in this case, which further demonstrates what so many in our industry already know: the P320 cannot fire without the trigger being pulled and is the gold standard for safety, innovation, engineering, and quality, among striker-fired pistols.”

Piatt also emphasized SIG SAUER’s commitment to addressing what the company describes as “malicious and misleading attacks” against the P320, while continuing to support the millions of civilian, law enforcement, and military users of the pistol worldwide.

The Ongoing P320 Controversy

While SIG SAUER has successfully defended multiple lawsuits regarding the P320, controversy around alleged unintended discharges persists. As previously reported on USACarry.com , some users have claimed their P320s discharged without a trigger pull, leading to ongoing debates within the firearms community. However, SIG SAUER maintains that all verified cases involve an external force on the trigger, mechanical interference, or user error.

The P320 has been rigorously tested and adopted by various military and law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. military as the M17/M18 service pistol. It remains one of the most widely used and trusted striker-fired handguns on the market.
