And the complaint alleges that the pistol was in a specific Safariland holster when it discharged after being dropped, which narrows it down quite a bit.
It was allegedly caught on camera as well.
The other alternative is SIG knew about the report and either didn't classify it as a drop-related incident (which seems difficult to accept based on the complaint) or decided that LE and military sales were not the "commercial market" and so they could make that statement with a straight face and reassure their consumers even though there had been report(s?) of drop-related failures concerning the same model of pistol being sold on the "commercial market."
This is so obviously the case here, that I wonder if people like it when manufacturers lie to them.
It is amazing how quickly Sig became aware of the issue, tested the design, found the issue, came up with a fix, manufactured the new parts, tested the new design, and offered a "voluntary recall". What did it take? About a day?
Also amazing that Sig knew immediately that the M17 was not effected.
Also, the post about halfway down the page here seems to indicate that a "civilian" in the "commercial market" did report a drop fire directly to Sig.

So even with their clever wording, to include the "commercial market", I believe they still lied to us.
Again I am not defending SIG, but no I don't personally consider an non-settled lawsuit a "report". In that case there are reports of practically everything. Maybe the word "report" should have been chosen differently.
Do you not believe that the officer and/or police department reported the issue to Sig?
Look about halfway down the page here to see the quote below:

Safety without compromise.
Safety isn’t negotiable. The P320 maximizes peace of mind with a robust safety system. Never again will you need to pull the trigger to disassemble your pistol. And, while available as an option, you won’t need a tabbed trigger safety for your gun to be drop safe.
Another lie, that would seem to indicate that Sig knew why other manufacturers put that tab on the trigger, which goes back to due diligence with their testing protocols.
Also, the tabbed trigger was never available, so if you wanted to, I guess you could count this as another lie.
It doesn't get any more obvious than this. What more do you guys need?
