PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A veteran Federal agent, who was shot by his own holstered Sig Sauer P320 semi-automatic service handgun, has filed a $10 million lawsuit in United States District Court alleging his injuries were the result of the gun s potentially deadly design defects that allow it to suddenly fire without the user touching, let alone, pulling the trigger.
