Another reason why I don't carry AIWB. From what I hear, Sig states the issue was with the firing pin spring.
Yes, he is very lucky. After report after report for different unrelated sources about these guns going off by themselves, I don't know why people keep changing it.Sheesh... glad the guy is all right. Must be an angel watching over him. Good for benchmade!

Could be a fluke but you would think if the reset spring was faulty and the FP stuck it would have slam fired. Maybe I am missing something. Someone with a P320 might be able to explain this. I dont own one of these.
Sounds kinda like the striker slipped of the sear while in the holster to me

It's a lot more complicated than my P365. That complexity is also likely to make it more vulnerable to malfunctions of various kinds.
Wouldn't the manual safety in the M17 version resolve this issue?
I carry appendix all the time. A P239 in 9mm or another in 357 SIG. Both have the DAK trigger. Or, a revolver.
For me, there is something inherently dangerous about a gun, pointed at my body, that has enough stored energy to fire. Period.
It doesn’t matter what kind of internal safeties it has. Or, even a manual safety.
With a DA Pistol, I am supplying the energy for the gun TO fire.
With the striker guns, or single action guns. I am relying on the mechanism for the gun NOT to fire.
Willing to risk it on my right hip. I’ve carried Colt 1911’s for 20 years and a Glock for 15 years. A crease in my butt cheek or outside of my thigh is survivable if everything goes wrong. My Femoral artery is not as forgiving.
Another good reason for me to stick with Glock. My former unit decided to stay with them too instead of picking these things up. I had an opportunity on a good deal on one of these Sigs a couple of months ago and I passed. I will continue to do so- just too many issues keep coming up with them- the reputation of those guns has been ruined for me. No coming back.
Engineering and innovation should be used to simplify mechanical devices.
I'll jump in on this too.
I used to be a big fan of Sig pistols. But over the past several years, I've seen and read too much about the failures (spontaneous discharges) of the P320 to have any confidence in today's Sig Sauer. They have had ample opportunity to do the right thing, and have chosen time and again to do the profitable thing instead. It's shameful really.
I'm not aware of the P365 or P365XL having these issues. Is that correct?

Not that I am aware of. P365 issues have been ironed out. You should be all set.
