Ah yes, because the details of polymer framed pistols really are such a big military secret. Nevermind that everyone in the industry and their dog offers a polymer framed pistol of their own.
I hope they call them out on their bullshit.

Gun Maker Sig Sauer Citing National Security to Keep Documents from Public
(practicalshootinginsights.com)
It's 100% bullshit. There were problems with this pistol pretty much immediately after it was released. There were scattered reports of accidental discharges and anybody who knew anything about firearms was avoiding it. I can only imagine what those documents will show and it's not good.
I wasn't able to tell from the article what this is actually about. Is this about dropping the P320 and it going off or something else?
No, the drop safety thing was "fixed" a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.
Oh. So even worse.
Yes. And so much stupider.
Oh FFS, there are a few dozen YouTubers pulling these things apart and testing. This isn't some top secret military weapon that civilians can't touch.
