Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

I don’t think so. As I understand the failure mode, the FCU (fire control unit) is allowing the striker to go forward without rotation of the sear. This modification will not fix that problem. Not, by the way, that’s the only problem with the Sig P320.
I have yet to see a complete, full, uncompromised and unbiased FMEA of the Sig P320.

The SIG P320 saga continues!
A SIG engineer filed a patent to fix the "unsafe" P320 in May. It seems they knew.

First up, Wyoming Gun Project does an update to answer some questions. This may or may not be related to one of the root causes of the failure, but this is a design problem either way.
Next, Protraband updates us on his recent findings concerning actions by the AF after the airmen was shot by laying his Sig P320 down on a table.
Next, Liberty Doll updates us on recent leaked documents from Sig lawyers. It does appear, after all, that there was a failure modes and effects analysis, and it isn’t good. Here are the source document(s).
Next, some clarifying (and bracing) information.
Finally, here is a list with linked documents that outlines some of the Sig P320 incidents. At this point, if you’re carrying a Sig P320 (especially IWB and Appendix carry), I don’t think you’re really thinking through this thing.
This is probably what’s happening to the P320. By the way, I don’t have a single pistol in my locker named Sig, and I don’t have a single pistol in my locker that has the tolerance issues between the slide and frame that the P320 does.
For those of you that say, “Well, he’s using a screw,” you’re missing the point. Watch the whole video before commenting or I’ll delete the comment. It’s getting hung on the sear if pre-tension has been applied as pointed out in the FBI report. Or there are manufacturing tolerance issues that could do the same thing.
Either way, this is a horrid, awful, terrible design. I would be ashamed to have my name on it. But not Sig, who has sued in court to block Washington’s police academy ban on P320s.
Great work. I’m a bit surprised they responded to the FOIA request by transferring the full FBI document over to anyone.
With this done now, it’s hard to see how the Sig lawyers or designers move forward without a whole host of lawsuits and without an announcement and complete recall of the firearm.
For the record, I have nothing that says ‘Sig’ in my locker. I don’t do striker-fired guns and I don’t do Sig. I have heard that this pistol was originally intended to be a hammer-fired gun and then later redesigned to striker-fired. If that’s true, they should have left it hammer-fired.
