Bagnell Law Firm Calls for Sig Sauer to Retract Defamatory Statements on P320 Victims

In a move that has shaken the legal community and the firearms industry, the Bagnell Law Firm has formally requested Sig Sauer, Inc. to publicly retract comments deemed defamatory regarding victims of their P320 pistol. The request comes after Sig Sauer made controversial statements that have had significant implications for those injured by the P320, including numerous federal and state law enforcement officers.

Background on the P320 Controversy

The P320, a popular firearm model used by many law enforcement agencies, has faced scrutiny due to claims of malfunctioning. Critics argue that the gun can fire without a trigger pull, leading to serious injuries and even fatalities. Over the past eight years, various claims related to the P320 have been brought forward, with several settling or making their way through federal and state courts. A recent federal judge ruled against Sig Sauer regarding the weapon's safety claims, rejecting their assertion that it is impossible for the P320 to discharge unintentionally.

Sig Sauer's Defamatory Statements

On March 7, 2025, Sig Sauer released a statement on their website and social media, which the Bagnell Law Firm has identified as defamatory. In this statement, Sig Sauer referred to the P320 victims as "negligent," "anti-gun," and part of an "anti-gun mob". Furthermore, they accused these individuals of "lawfare" in an effort to profit while avoiding personal responsibility. Such language has raised concerns about the stigmatization of those seeking justice for legitimate grievances against the product.

The firm emphasizes that these claims are particularly distressing considering the legal battles that the victims have faced. Many are not only recovering from severe injuries but are also navigating the trauma inflicted by the P320.

Legal Assertions and Reactions

Jeffrey Bagnell, a key figure in the firm, stated, "It is disgraceful for Sig to suggest that the victims of the P320 are 'anti-gun' when many are dedicated law enforcement professionals defending our rights. Their statements lack merit, especially when courts have found evidence of malfunction."

He continues to assert that the lack of a clear safety warning from Sig or any recall of the firearm is an ongoing concern. With the injuries and potential wrongful deaths connected to the P320, the onus is on Sig Sauer to take responsibility rather than scapegoat those injured.

Call for Retraction

The Bagnell Law Firm has set a deadline for Sig Sauer to retract these statements and issue an apology within the next 30 days. They assert that failure to do so will lead to further legal action, as they will not tolerate any attempt to defame their clients or undermine their findings.

In a world where consumer safety and corporate accountability are paramount, this demand could set important precedents for victims of product malfunctions. As the public awaits Sig Sauer’s response, the legal landscape regarding firearm safety is drawn into the spotlight, prompting discussions about the responsibilities of companies in ensuring their products do not cause harm.

Conclusion

The ongoing case illustrates a pivotal moment for both victims of the P320 and the broader implications for firearm manufacturers. The Bagnell Law Firm's insistence on accountability serves as a call to action for other firms and victims facing similar challenges in seeking justice against corporate negligence.
