29. Given that Sig Sauer is one of the defendants, it is safe to say the fault was not with the handgun

Edited on Sat May-21-11 03:15 AM by pneutin

All Sig handguns have a firing pin disconnect and a firing pin block which would make it impossible for the gun to fire if dropped. The only way the firing pin will ever make contact with the primer is if the trigger is pulled. So it is safe to conclude that the security guard attempted to catch the falling gun.

Or, the guard negligently fired the gun and then dropped it.
