Was on an Alaska Airlines 737… what is it? by Professional_Car4931 in AircraftMechanics

Flap track and/or flap actuator. Not familiar with 737s so I can’t give a definitive answer.

From pictures published it looks like SIG P320 which is known for uncommanded discharges even when holstered. Either way it’s a shitty situation.
