I’m not sure I buy that, either.

Because some of us have jobs that more illumination is desired. And the extra weight on the gun makes it more shootable. LE shouldn’t be mandated to use a smaller light with smaller controls to keep one manufacturers products from going off in the holster.

Larger diameter light requires a larger opening in the holster.
No way around it. You take your chances with that large opening.

One officer on another forum told how he had a light shot out of his hand by a BG.
It's convenient having a WML, just remember they shoot at the light.

Yeah, I can see how light illumination works both ways.

Gotta learn how to use a WML!

Having been playing the "Cops & Robbers" game before the advent of any decent WML, and still have an old school bat Maglight, it is much easier and better having a WML vs a 4 cell flashlight in your other hand.

Ah! We’ve come full circle into the “weaponslights are dangerous” comments!

The $11 million case SIG lost? The trigger was pulled:

“But during the trial, the plaintiff actually agreed that the trigger on his P320 pistol was pulled fully rearward with at least seven pounds of force.“ Link

The $10 million of punitive damages was vacated.

Seems like the Army is the only major user of the M17.

That's true, Dawes. IIRC, the Army procured mostly M17s and a smaller number of M18s for aircrews, CID, etc. The other DOD services essentially went for the M18 across the board for most units.

"piece of information is that Sig Sauer appears to have acknowledged as early as February 1, 2017, that the P320 was not drop-safe. However, they didn’t announce the Voluntary Upgrade Program until August 8, 2017—just days after a lawsuit was filed"

"I quickly published the document on my Instagram and Facebook accounts, where it received some public attention. I anticipated three possible outcomes:

Sig Sauer wouldn’t notice the document had been made public.
Sig Sauer would notice but take no action to avoid drawing more attention to the document (especially given my relatively small Instagram following).
Sig Sauer would notice and pursue aggressive legal action to scrub the document from any public court records.
As of yesterday, it appears Sig Sauer chose option #3"

I don't understand how anyone could trust Sig Sauer to do the right thing.

Has anyone done any experimentation with tabbed triggers?

I installed the Agency unit this morning on my X5 Legion and depending on the problems encountered it seems like it could be a solution.

In the youtube videos showing the sear being manually released with a pick or something, the tail of the sear encountering the trigger bar effectively causes a trigger pull, which releases the striker block and the firing pin hits your primer or launches a pencil across the room or whatever.

With the tabbed trigger installed and the sear manually released, the motion of the trigger bar is altered such that the striker block is not released, and no firing pin protrusion results.

IDPA has just banned all P320 variants for their competitions internationally.
