No if it was a 9mm he would have had better shot placement and ended the threat sooner. And we all know glorious glock 19 9mm is best mm.

Ideally he and everyone else would be trained to tap the magazine on a solid surface of the vehicle, or his knee, then use the rear sight to snag on something and rack the slide with one hand, but then I think we're asking for too much. |

Think about this scenario before selling out on a double strike capability:
My primary firearm fails to fire due to an out of battery slide. The offender wrestles the gun from my grip and pulls the trigger. Do you still want that double strike capability? This is why we carry secondary weapons in the event of a primary failure. There truly are two sides to every coin. |

I'm still happy with my striker fired CCW, even though I have been looking at a P07 lately just because I want one. I totally get your point, and I don't disagree with you, but we're already carrying guns everywhere we go because of the exceedingly rare instance of having to use a gun to defend oneself, so it is always good to question these kinds of things and consider what might happen if that circumstance might happen to you. Being prepared for likely scenarios is just smart. I have a fire extinguisher near my stove at home, and I carry a gun and practice drawing it while seated in the driver seat. None of that seems stupid to me. |

He was extraordinarily lucky that the round fired on subsequent attempts to fire; that's not common and not worth the halfassness of DA/SA. It is common for out of battery situations, but I know what you mean. It could have been a hard primer or a round without powder or any of the dozens of reasons a gun won't fire, which is why immediate action drills exist. Solves (most) problems the same way. However, with a DA gun, it is much quicker to just pull the trigger again if it is out of battery or if a second strike will actually set off the primer. He may not have been able to pull the gun away from Brown's hands in order to rack the slide. In which case, much better to just keep pulling the trigger than to continue to try to wrestle it away. |

Something like A Luger would have worked great in this situation. No cylinder, no slide, a hand on the top of the gun is not going to keep it out of battery or stop it from firing.

E2 grips for now and probably back to sig as a long term fix. Significantly more costly than I thought I had snagged it for. I question why sig didnt use bushings that could be replaced like on the 226 though.

He didnt mention it but tapping to the M5 P220 screws is another option. Since it's only 2 that are messed up I'd prefer the insert though to keep the grip screws the original thread pattern. |
