Nice...
I can't say I've ever been remotely close to having a firearm fall off of me. How does this happen short of some sort of pooping mishap? Incredibly shitty holster? And seriously, research your firearms. If it can go off when you drop it and you might do that, you might want to consider a different one

The lesson is that CCW is a serious responsibility and not using piss poor equipment and technique could avoid all that.

Its imperative that this shit doesn't happen, because it bolsters all the idiots that claim its unsafe to have guns around them in businesses.

In other news someone with a Wisconsin State Drivers License ran over a fire hydrant. Folks, it takes a bit for most to learn how to properly conceale a handgun and even then there'll still be idiots. I find a CHL accident like this happens at about the same frequency rate as negligent discharges for Police Officers. We know it's good for the states to have shall issue concealed licenses, let's shower those opposed with the positives and not dwell on the negatives. |

Meh. I've dropped and KICKED guns 20' across a crowded location (crappy ankle holster FTL). Shit happens sometimes. That said, what pistol made in the last 60 years isn't drop-safe.

A little while back a guy in GD shared his story of an ND he had in the bathroom at work. Set his 1911 on one of those toilet seat cover dispensers while doing his business. It fell off, hit muzzle first on the tile floor and discharged. The slide got wedged slightly open because the safety was still engaged. They were chalking it up to the floating firing pin of that model 1911.

Buy a different one of the 5000 1911 models out there that are safe. |

I mean no disrespect but this statement is just pure horse hooey. 1911 handguns discharge when someone disengages the thumb safety and then puts their finger on the trigger and applies 6-8 pounds of pressure not when they are "dropped" 3 feet.

Jeff I'll see if I can find the thread. Pistol fired while in the safe position. Apparently this has happened more than a few time with the preFP block 1911's. Found it here yougo. |

I'm thinking this was one of those paper seat cover dispensers hanging on the wall. Could have been a few feet up. |
