Poor old SIG, they've allowed Safariland to throw them under the bus alongside their competitor Glock. Reading this link below you'll at first think there's a SIG problem but the problem is with the Safariland holster and it is VERY OLD; as in 'beginning of this century' old:
Below a hard copy for when the link comes down (and it will):
Look deeper through my blog list and you'll find the complete rundown about the Safariland and light bearing pistols; caused by the holsters themselves and not by the pistols. Look for:
Restored Post 31: the Tragedy of Rogers' Kydex "Holsters"
To which I now add:
All Safariland had to do was spot the problem at the outset -- it was their responsibility to prevent the opening in the holster proximate the triggers -- then refuse all orders unless and until they worked out the problem. THEN RECALL AND REPLACE ALL THE SUBJECT HOLSTERS. Notice below the opening at the trigger guard, caused by Safariland leaving an opening for the light to enter. Later they closed it off after learning of their error but announced NOTHING:
And now this, also SIG, also Safariland, also light-bearing; THIS MONTH!
I don't know why I bother posting this stuff. This particular products liability issue has been going on for a quarter century and it has never been FIXED!
Safariland are bloody geniuses the way they've successfully offloaded their problems onto customers and now the gun makers. And not 'good' geniuses like my immediately-prior post about the genius of Dick Hoyt. No, instead they've shown the genius of 'no ethics' wherein ethics is to 'always do the right thing no matter the personal cost'. These companies and their lawyers are working both sides of the street.
