Ah yes, because the details of polymer framed pistols really are such a big military secret. Nevermind that everyone in the industry and their dog offers a polymer framed pistol of their own.
I hope they call them out on their bullshit.
- It's 100% bullshit. There were problems with this pistol pretty much immediately after it was released. There were scattered reports of accidental discharges and anybody who knew anything about firearms was avoiding it. I can only imagine what those documents will show and it's not good.
I wasn't able to tell from the article what this is actually about. Is this about dropping the P320 and it going off or something else?
- No, the drop safety thing was "fixed" a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.
  
  Oh. So even worse.
Oh FFS, there are a few dozen YouTubers pulling these things apart and testing. This isn't some top secret military weapon that civilians can't touch.
