Hey, Sig, That Thing You Said Doesn’t Happen With P320s Just Happened Again

I used to like Sig Sauer. They made good guns and had a good reputation.

Then the P320 rolled out, and the problems started. Even then, I didn’t really hold it against them. The first problem was the guns drop firing if they landed at a particular angle. Since that was something that I could see being missed during testing. While they didn’t recall the firearms, they did offer a voluntary upgrade that was supposed to fix the issue.

Cool.

Then we had the discharges happening out of the blue.

Sig Sauer claimed that nothing was wrong, that they’d been exonerated in court, and that it was all some anti-gun conspiracy to take down the company and our gun rights.

Since most of the people talking about it were gun people, that really bothered a lot of us, myself included.

Yet Sig claimed it just didn’t happen. Guns didn’t go off unless someone did something stupid.

Well, that thing they said never happens just happened again.

Here’s the text from the post by the Ceres Police Department:

Ceres, CA- On June 24, 2025, at approximately 12:50 p.m., a Ceres Police Department School Resource Officer (SRO) was injured when her department-approved firearm discharged while holstered in the parking lot of Blaker-Kinser Junior High School, located at 1601 Kinser Road in Ceres. The officer involved in the incident has been identified as Officer Salin Chrim, a sworn member of the department assigned as a School Resource Officer.

At the time of the incident, summer school had concluded for the day, and only a limited number of students and staff remained on campus. Officer Chrim was not interacting with any students when the firearm discharged. Officer Chrim sustained a non-life-threatening injury to her leg and was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. No other individuals were injured.

The firearm involved in the incident was a Sig Sauer P320, carried in a department-approved holster. Preliminary review has determined that both the firearm and holster were compatible and compliant with current Ceres Police Department policy. The discharge is being investigated as an uncommanded discharge, as the firearm was securely holstered and not being manipulated by Officer Chrim at the time of its discharge.

In accordance with department procedures, the firearm and holster will be submitted to the California Department of Justice for full inspection and evaluation to determine the cause of the discharge and ensure the continued safety of our officers and community.

The Ceres Police Department takes incidents involving firearms extremely serious and is committed to transparency, officer safety, and public trust. We are fully cooperating with the appropriate agencies during this evaluation.

Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Now, unfortunately, the video doesn’t have sound, but what’s happening here is still pretty clear. The figure on the right stops suddenly and jerks their blurred-out head toward the officer when the gun discharges. Officer Chrim was not holding the weapon, which was clearly in her holster.

As noted by the department, this was an approved holster for this particular firearm, which means there should have been no issue of interference with the trigger while in the holster.

This isn’t a negligent discharge. This is a legitimate accidental discharge. The officer seems to have done nothing to prompt this. Yes, she was fondling the holster prior to the firearm going off, but a holster should prevent the gun from going off just because someone touches or moves it. I mean, that’s why you wear a holster, for crying out loud.

Sig needs to stop playing pretty terrible defense and address this issue.

If they don’t, it could threaten their entire brand. Sure, none of their other firearms seem to have this issue, but how long until people decide it’s just not worth the risk?
