One only needs to ask Alec Baldwin how a pistol can discharge without pulling the trigger

In reply to FormerParatrooper. Striker-fired guns are just accidents and negligent discharges waiting to happen. Unfortunately, they don't wait too long, either. I'm not interested in how you have safely carried your striker-fired pet rattlesnakes for years and you've never been bitten. Just shut up.

Never should have gone to a striker-fired pistol in the first place. Hammer-fired guns, especially with de-cocking mechanisms and double action only (DAO) guns are the only safe-to-carry chambered pistols that I ever carry or transport in a loaded and chambered condition. Striker-fired guns are just accidents and negligent discharges waiting to happen. Unfortunately, they don’t wait too long, either. I’m not interested in how you have safely carried your striker-fired pet rattlesnakes for years and you’ve never been bitten. Just shut up.

In reply to Shire-man. The dead troop obviously placed the gun on the table with the barrel pointed not in a safe direction...

In reply to FormerParatrooper. What was Wrong with the SIG 226, that required its discontinuance / replacement ?? The old adage that " If it works ! Don't Fix it !! " should be given more interest.

In the future, Sig Saur
will receive visits from 3 ghosts. The first being the CEO of Remington,. The second ghost will be the Remington production manager.

And the last ghost will be the manager of quality control at Remington.

In the meantime, High Point Firearms has announced that they are building an AR 15 rifle. For those that can’t afford to spend $800 or more for one.

And so far High Point has never had a recall.

In reply to Dude. Indeed. The initial run of P320's was recalled (Sig used the term "upgrade") when it was determined the triggers were too heavy and dropping a loaded gun could thus result in a discharge. Apparently, all of the M17/18s got the upgraded, lighter trigger.

My Sauer M1913 is a hundred year old striker fired pistol. No history of it ever firing without a burger finger on the trigger.

Maybe technology moved too fast and forgot how to build guns?
