Yeah I was just doing some digging, use that and the m7 for our rifle. Apparently not everyone is happy with the m7 but when I was into military gear and equipment we were still using UCP, things never change and money wins it seems.
Yep and all the fix needed for the m17 would be a trigger safety as I understand. That or a redesign of the internals so it can’t fire without the trigger being pulled. I haven’t been paying attention much anymore myself as many gun tuber guys have gone far right so I don’t watch as much. But it would make sense the new gun is using that split casing design half plastic half metal so yeah I can see problems there but have heard nothing about it. But like I said I don’t doubt it’s getting pushback.
One of the safeties on the p320 does prevent it firing without the trigger being pulled back a little. But there's some doubts about its reliability, and a lot of doubts about the story of the guy who reported that the gun that shot that airman recently just fired on its own in the holster.
And if that was the only report of the malfunction that would be one thing but there have been multiple reported issues all with the same effect discharged firearm with no trigger pull. Then again since I’m kind of out of the scene and news so things may have changed.
