F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming – As wahala don happen, the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command don gree pause the use of their M18 pistol. Dis decision come after one tragic incident wey happen on July 20, 2025, wey result in the death of one security forces airman. Dem don talk say dis pause go last until dem finish investigation true true.
Charles “Moose” Hoffman, wey be AFGSC spokesperson, confirm say dem go dey inspect all the M18 handguns to see if any safety issues dey. All dis drama dey unfold just few weeks after FBI report gbege wey come add to di concerns wey don dey around Sig Sauer P320 series pistols—like the M18 wey don fire without person touching the trigger.
The Airman wey die na member of di 90th Security Forces Squadron, and di full details no don come out yet as investigation dey continue. One memo wey leak show say di commander Gen. Thomas Bussiere don issue di order wey dem dey follow up now.
Na true say di M18 na compact pistol wey Sig Sauer create for di military, and e don replace di old M9 pistol for all di branches of di military since 2017. But issues don dey surround di P320 series with many cases of “uncommanded discharges” where di gun go fire by itself (e be like say di gun get mind of im own, abi wetin?).
Dis whole wahala don make some law enforcement agencies stop to use P320 series pistols because of safety fears. E don reach as far as ICE wey ban di use of di P320 for agents. Now, di investigation wey dey go on fit change di way U.S military dey handle dis pistols moving forward.
Sig Sauer don come out to claim say di P320 series na safe, and e no fit fire without person touching di trigger. Dem talk say dem dey ready to cooperate with di military for di investigation wey dey happen. But many people dey ask, because how many incidents go happen before dem go finally settle di matter?
Moral of di story: Gun safety no be joke matter! Make we dey watch as di investigation dey carry on. Some people dey hope say this one go no mark di end of di M18, but only time go tell.
As we dey watch wetin go happen next, make we dey take am easy with these guns because dem dey like to catch and shoot without permission. Na wah!
