This is a great video from Omaha Outdoors. I think they figured it out.

Thanks for posting this. So much for government-mandated drop testing (such as required in CA) and Sig Sauer skipping the trigger safety (Glock and S&W didn't). I am still surprised that the inertia from the drop can pull the trigger enough to release the striker. At least, the damaged frame with the broken off beaver tail in the video can be replaced without buying another firearm.

From TTAG | SIG SAUER Stops Production of P320, ‘Voluntary Upgrade’ Details on Monday:

SIG SAUER has stopped production of their P320 pistol. Responding to “drop safety” issues, the New Hampshire gunmaker has halted production of one of the company’s most popular handguns until they can include the new “enhanced” trigger in all new P320 models. SIG wouldn’t provide a date for restarting production.
