| Air Force Global Strike Command Halts Use of Sig Sauer M18 Pistol | |
| 2025-07-24 | |
| [Breitbart] A July 21, 2025, memo for Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) makes clear all AFGSC personnel are to pause use of Sig Sauer’s M18 pistol. The M18 is a Sig Sauer P320 variant. The memo comes in response to an “incident at F.E. Warren AFB.” Personnel are to be armed with M4 rifles instead of the M18 pistol while the investigation is ongoing.
F.E. Warren AFB reported that “an active-duty Airman assigned to the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing, died on base while on duty in the early morning [of] July 20, 2025.” Jason Wright, vice president of marketing at Sig Sauer, issued a statement to Breitbart News regarding the Air Force memo, saying, “Our hearts are with the service members and families impacted by the recent reported event at the F.E. Warren Air Force Base. We have offered assistance to the U.S. Military as they investigate the incident and remain willing to help in furtherance of their ongoing investigation.” Related: Sig Sauer 06/17/2025 Police Find 'WMDs' at Home of Heavily Armed PA Man Arrested at PA 'No Kings' Rally Sig Sauer 04/22/2024 Texas lawman final exam Sig Sauer 04/07/2024 The Army Has Finally Fielded Its Next Generation Squad Weapons | |

| #2 #1 Must have been the pistol, couldn't have been the operator. Beso, There have been reports of discharges of the P320/M18, but none of them killed anybody before. So far, the story is that the weapon was safed and holstered when when the kid put it down and and it let go. I'm not sure why the SIG got selected for the new pistol; the Beretta M1985 was perfectly serviceable and though it had its issues, this wasn't one of them. Mike |
