Maybe but that video does not go far enough to show what the trigger is doing.

There are two possible scenarios, one of which has been shown in that YouTube circulated video of it being dropped:

1. The momentum from the gun being dropped causes the trigger to move and allows the striker to move past the breach face, igniting the round.

or

2. The striker block is ineffective at stopping the striker from moving past the breach face during impact.

So is it an issue of the striker block or of the trigger? I've seen two different methods of inducing the firing pin moving without definitive proof of which part of the gun is failing.

So far, everything points to trigger.

The frightening thing for me is that it might be a "both" situation.

I'm unapologetically #TeamSig - I've owned, handled, fired, probably approaching 60 or 70 different Sig firearms over the years. I tend to stock 5 or 6 classic pistols at any one time. The quality, workmanship, safety and reliability are unlike anything else. Better than Toyota/Lexus for comparison.

So, this is particularly troubling from a company with this reputation. I get they're trying to compete on cost (which cost them the M9 contract back in the day). I get this is a fairly radical design from them. Regardless, these problems from this company are highly unexpected.
