  <description>Sig Sauer's premier pistol has faced a flood of bad news this week.
After a recent fatal incident on Warren Air Force Base that involved the M18, commonly sold to civilians as the P320, the Global Strike Command joined a rash of law enforcement and civilian training groups that have paused the use of the gun. Active Self Protection is also among those groups. So, we have its president, John Correia, back on the show to explain why he decided to ban the P320.
John said ASP actually stopped allowing the P320 in class at the beginning of the year, and recent incidents have only reinforced that decision. He said he hasn't yet seen a clear explanation for what's causing the P320's issues. However, he said there was too much smoke around the gun to ignore the problem.
John argued that he and his team simply didn't have confidence an unintended discharge, like the many that have been caught on camera in recent months, couldn't happen at one of their classes. He said they wouldn't allow them back into class until Sig identified and fixed the issue or issues causing the incidents. He also criticized the company's handling of the repeated problems with the pistol. Special Guest: John Correia.
