No SIG P320’s at SOTGU

As you might expect, Student of the Gun University needed to make a decision regarding the use of the SIG P320 and variants on live-fire ranges. Professor Paul will explain the SOTGU stance regarding this issue.

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider some older tech. Can you effectively run a Double Action semiautomatic pistol? Have you ever tried? We have our SOTG Homeroom as usual and we will consider the mass stabbing attack in Michigan.

Finally, we are pleased to have our good friend Matt Reynold, CEO of Barbell Logic Online Coaching, join us to discuss his contribution to the book A Pipe Hitters Guide to Strength & Wellness.

From www.twz.com:

Some units within the U.S. Air Force’s Air Combat Command (ACC) have now restricted the use of Sig Sauer M18 in the wake of a recent fatal incident. This follows Air Force Global Strike Command’s (AFGSC) decision to implement an indefinite command-wide “pause” on M18 use after the death of an airman at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, which TWZ was first to report.

Sig’s P320 pistol family, which includes the M18, has been hounded for years now by allegations that the pistols can fire without their triggers being pulled, something the company categorically insists is not possible.

“While Headquarters Air Combat Command has not directed a pause on the use of the M18 Modular Handgun System, some subordinate commanders have temporarily restricted use of the weapon out of an abundance of caution,” an ACC spokesperson told TWZ. “In those cases, it is feasible that alternative weapons could be substituted to accomplish the mission.”

“We aren’t [the] lead for the investigation [into the incident at F.E. Warren], but our leaders are following as closely as they can, and taking actions with the information as they learn more,” the spokesperson added.
