No. Several manufactures have had defects in the trigger system that will allow the gun to discharge when the trigger is not pulled. Adding in drop safeties to make sure the gun won't fire if dropped or knocked is part of designing a firearm.

Remington is one of the bigger cases of this kind of defect, affecting a ton of hunting and competition rifles. This is not new. What is new is that Sig doesn't want to do a recall.
