I noticed today that the Army had selected the Sig Sauer P320 as the new handgun. One thing that I noticed in all the articles that I read about it was that it was available in two calibers -- 9mm and ".40 SGW". So, I start doing a bit of a web search to see what the 'ell ".40 SGW" might be. Found a lot of articles where they mentioned it being available for the P320, but no one bothered to question it. I can understand maybe ONE site making a typo, but THAT MANY?
Eventually, I looked on the Sig Sauer site for the P320 and I think I found where the error happened.
The font that they used for the "&" (ampersand) in this image looks somewhat like a "G". Whichever idiot created the initial press release probably misread it initially and every other news site just blindly propagated that mistake and no one knew enough about guns to question it. Maybe someone did think it strange, but they didn't want anyone to know that they didn't know everything about firearms and question this new caliber.
Look closely at the text under each cartridge and compare the "G" in ".357SIG" and the "&" in ".40S&W". Pretty similar... To tell the difference, you would actually have to know *how to read*.
