Unanimous Maine Federal Jury Finds No Defect in P320 Unintended Discharge Case

Unanimous Maine Federal Jury Finds No Defect in P320 Unintended Discharge Case

< 1 Min Read

NEWINGTON, N.H., (August 12, 2026) – SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, electro-optics, ammunition, and advanced concepts, issued a statement after a federal jury in the Cole v. SIG SAUER Inc. unintended discharge case ruled unanimously that the P320 has no defect. 

“The jury’s unanimous verdict in Maine federal court is an important outcome because it further validates the engineering and design of the P320 and the extensive independent testing behind it,” said Kristen Dennison, counsel for SIG SAUER. “We appreciate the jury’s time and thank them for their commitment to serving the community during this two-week trial.” 

In the U.S. District Court in the District of Maine, a nine-person jury considered product liability, negligence, and breach of implied warranty, and on all three topics returned a unanimous verdict on August 7, 2026, in favor of SIG SAUER. 

The Maine verdict follows other recent successful P320 outcomes, including a federal court of appeals unanimously dismissing a class action lawsuit in July 2026 and two separate plaintiffs voluntarily withdrawing their federal cases in May 2026. The voluntary withdrawals resulted in dismissals with prejudice by the Massachusetts and Colorado federal courts. 

The P320 is an innovative striker-fired pistol which has been selected as the handgun of choice following rigorous testing by the U.S. military and a number of other countries, including Canada, Switzerland, and Australia, as well as by elite law enforcement and federal agencies.
