Sig Sauer, Inc. is reporting that the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico has officially entered an Order dismissing the lawsuit (Berrios v. Sig Sauer) alleging the P320 service weapon of police officer Elvis Ramon Green Berrios discharged without the trigger being pulled.
“Berrios voluntarily dismissed his action against Sig Sauer, admitting in court filed documents that his P320 pistol has no defects and does not discharge without a trigger pull,” the company said in a media statement.
Throughout the nearly three years of litigation in this lawsuit, Sig Sauer said it has vigorously defended the safety, quality and manufacturing of the P320 pistol. This admission that the P320 is not defective occurred after Sig Sauer presented detailed scientific evidence showing that the P320 cannot fire without a trigger pull and contains no manufacturing defects.
This latest decision marks the 18th frivolous or unsupported P320 unintentional discharge lawsuit dismissed against Sig Sauer.
“We are extremely pleased with the result in this case, which further demonstrates what so many in our industry already know: the P320 cannot fire without the trigger being pulled and is the gold standard for safety, innovation, engineering, and quality, among striker-fired pistols,” said Samantha Piatt, senior director of Communications at Sig Sauer, Inc.
“As we continue to put to rest the malicious and misleading attacks against one of the most popular pistols ever made, we are committed to supporting the millions of law-abiding citizens, law enforcement agencies, and elite military units carrying our pistol every day around the world,” continued Piatt.
