They're told to only protect the criminals.Chicago has Police?
This is interesting because Max kinda made his name with the P320 and continuing to work with Sig wasn’t exactly going to hurt his brand, unless Sig has decided to reduce what they pay their shooters to keep up with the cost of their lawyers.And apparently Max Michel is also leaving…HUMMMMM
I wouldn’t think that would be an issue but the timing of 2 top shooters posting they are leaving the same day is odd. Could just be they are ready for a break. As to why they need a break well if they want us to know it will come out later.This is interesting because Max kinda made his name with the P320 and continuing to work with Sig wasn’t exactly going to hurt his brand, unless Sig has decided to reduce what they pay their shooters to keep up with the cost of their lawyers.
As I understand it, CPD had entered into some consent agreement involving duty pistols some years ago and this court had oversight. I don't live close to Chicago anymore so I'm not current on the details. But it sure is interesting.Since when can a federal judge order a police department to stop carrying a certain firearm ? I call BS.
For those who are wondering why a judge would order Chicago PD to stop allowing P320's for duty use, here's the explanation - it started with a suit brought by the police union:
Federal Judge Orders Cops to Stop Carrying Sig P320

NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 17, 2025) – New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy. AG Platkin’s assertion that the Modular Handgun System (MHS) program would not accept SIG SAUER’s submission because testing by the U.S. Army deemed it “unsafe” without a manual safety is outright false. The MHS program solicitation required all firearm manufacturers’ bids include pistols with manual safeties. The Government assured all bidders it would discontinue testing and eliminate a competitor from further consideration if the testing process uncovered any safety issue. SIG SAUER was not eliminated from the competition, but in fact was awarded the contract for the military’s official sidearm. The Attorney General’s office further stated that an FBI Ballistics Research Facility report claimed one of the safety mechanisms of the P320 can be disabled without any pressure on the trigger. This is also false. SIG SAUER engineers worked directly with the FBI and the Michigan State Police, who commissioned the report, to conduct a comprehensive battery of follow-on tests. The tests resulted in zero failures and today the Michigan State Police confidently issue their officers P320 pistols. Contrary to the baseless allegations, SIG SAUER has always and will continue to put the safety and security of the US Military, the law enforcement community, consumers, and the public first. AG Platkin’s statement that the P320 can fire uncommanded is also incorrect. To date, nearly twenty (20) P320 lawsuits have been dismissed. Despite years of litigation, plaintiffs’ “experts” have been repeatedly excluded from testifying after being unable to re-create a P320 discharge without a trigger pull. SIG SAUER intends to seek dismissal of AG Platkin’s baseless complaint. The P320 pistol is one of the safest, most advanced pistols in the world. It meets and exceeds all industry safety standards. Its design has been thoroughly tested and validated by the U.S. Military and law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels, along with several major global militaries. Since its development in 2014, the P320 has undergone more testing and technical review than virtually any other pistol in history.
