Did A Sig P320 Just Kill An Airman?

Did a USAF airman just get killed by a Sig P320 (M18) pistol? No one is saying it, but it very much appears that way.

According to a press release from Warren Air Force Base, an active-duty airman assigned to the 90th Security Forces, 90th Missile Wing was killed early on July 20, 2025. They have not released any information about the circumstances.

Then, on the same day that Warren AFB issued that press release, a memo written by General Thomas A Bussiere of the USAF was released instructing all personnel in the Air Force Global Strike Command to immediately “pause” the use of the M18 pistol.

Now I am no rocket surgeon, but when looking at those two items together, it certainly makes it look like the M18 pistol (the military version of the P320) is probably involved in one way or another.

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased airman. It should never have come to this.
