More than 100 incidents of the pistol going off without the trigger being pulled have been reported. Gunmakers, though, are protected by a new law.

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training is following the lead of a Washington agency that banned the Sig Sauer P320.

In February of 2020, Cody Hoefs of Puyallup sued Sig Sauer, Inc., claiming his P320 “discharged with no prompting while fully-seated in its Sig brand holster.” Hoefs's case was dismissed in 2023.

As safety concerns over the Sig Sauer P320 handgun continue to mount, a growing number of police departments across the United States are rethinking their use of the popular semiautomatic firearm.

In a statement, Sig Sauer said that "claims that the P320 is capable of firing without a trigger pull are without merit," and that the gun remains trusted by armed forces around the world.
