That tells me that the issue is resolved by a trigger safety, and most likely that issue was inadvertent manipulation of the trigger.
There have been mechanical AD’s with M17s.

Doesn’t mean most M17/320 unintentional discharges aren’t negligent rather than accident / mechanical failures.

The manual safety on the M17/18/320 only blocks the trigger bar. It does not block the the striker.

The issue with certain original design 320, upgraded 320s and m17s is a mechanical failure of the sear / striker engagement.

Hence in those intakes of actual mechanical failure, the manual safety locking the trigger bar has zero effect.

Anyone saying all 320s or all the incidents are the same are wrong regardless of which side they are taking.
