There are no numerous well documented cases. You link to one well documented case that was document I was referring to. It does not say what you said.

They were not able to duplicate the firing the way you think BRF was able to replicate firing in holster with keys in hand.

---

From the document:

"The MSP motor officer had objects in his hands at the time of the event, including keys."

then

"BRF was successful in using keys, both flat and serrated profiles, to press the trigger while the M18 was holstered. The keys were approximately 1.7” and 1.0” respectively. The trigger could be fully pressed to the rear with sufficient pressure against the side of the trigger only, or by using the holster as a fulcrum. During this test it was observed that the keys caused an abrasion on the trigger guard near the area of the abrasion seen on the weapon when it arrived (Figure 13)."

There was abrasion from the keys in the gun, BRF was able to replicate firing in holster with keys in hand.

From the conclusion: "examination of the subject weapon did not independently provide evidence of an uncommanded discharge it does indicate that it may be possible if sear engagement is lost. The disabling of the striker safety lock through movement and friction creates a condition which merits further exploration to fully assess potential risk."*

“On July 31, 2024, a MSP motor officer was standing in a squad area with other members when his department issued Sig Sauer M182 fired uncommanded. The firearm was reportedly secured in the department issued Alien Gear Rapid Force Level 3 holster at the time of firing. According to the MSP motor officer’s statement and the statements of others present, at no time was the trigger pressed intentionally or inadvertently3 . The MSP motor officer had objects in his hands at the time of the event, including keys. The subject firearm, while in the holster, was removed from the member’s leg and placed in an evidence bag pending further evaluation.”

Do you work for SIG or something?

Of course someone could reach into the holster with keys and hit the trigger, but there is no conceivable way it could be that in this situation. And this isn’t the only time - I’ve seen several videos of Sig P320’s doing this that are completely unrelated to this situation.

I can read what you wrote. You said that the evaluation duplicate something. Only thing they duplicate was the possibility of key firing. You must be referring to that.

They were not able to duplicate physical malfunction.

They absolutely were able to duplicate elements of physical malfunction.

Yes. "elements" of physical malfunction, not the malfunction.

That means they were able to individual safety mechanism fail, but not all of them. The intact gun would not fire all by itself if it was hammered in the test.

And yet, it did in reality.

And there were clear manufacturing defects found when looking at the gun.

You started with "the FBI was able to duplicate the ‘spontaneous firing of a chambere"

And we end with perfect social media claim: "I believe it did happen in reality".

I rest my case.
