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.

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.

And to say two different methods is inaccurate, or at least, misleading. It's still force applied to the rear which aligns with momentum of the trigger without a way to stop said trigger.

I think most firearms manufacturers miss the mark once they get in a situation like this with a defective gun.

I feel if the manufacturer were to be honest and go out of its way to help customers that it could do a lot for damage control. Gun owners are some of the most loyal customers to brands they like, most of the time to a fault. If a company was like, "hey we're aware of the problem and will fix it free of charge if you do XYZ..." rather than saying it's a "voluntary upgrade" I think that would help a lot with that company's reputation.

Not pointing any fingers or anything...

But in all honesty I hope they are honest and figure a good solution to the problem without having to pretend the problem doesn't exist.
