A recent incident involving a Canadian Armed Forces Military Police officer has raised questions about the safety of the SIG Sauer P320 service pistol.

As reported by CBC News and covered across CBC television and radio, the officer was injured during routine training at Base Borden when the firearm discharged during a routine draw from its holster. The officer maintains that the trigger was not pulled at the time of the discharge.
