I own a M 18 and I can say with full confidence that’s it’s impossible for my striker to just slip past the sear ! Unless the parts in question are so badly damaged from wear ant tear that they should have been replaced anyway. I mean come on man.Who in their right mind is going to dive a car with no brakes!!!

Really? Are so many people really that Idiotic? The trigger take up on virtually all striker fired pistols is when the designed trigger safety is disconnected so the rest of the trigger pull releases the charged pin. If you or anybody elses pistols trigger can be easily manipulated without a freaking screw (manipulated? Why?), and the trigger sticks, clean and oil your freaking gun! Its called regular cleaning and maintenance and its in every gun manual and apparently uncommon sense. If your trigger gets stuck with any amount of take up, get it fixed! If you have to manipulate the slide in any way while you are pulling on the trigger to keep it back, while doing this to make it fire, who in their right mind would do that with normal use of their firearm? Certainly not a critical thinker. How about sticking in a freaking screw to simulate the take up, and then sticking a small allen wrench through the rear of the slide to push the lever that the trigger would actuate. Are you and all the other non-critical thinkers serious? I tested both my Sig P320 awesome pistol, and my P365, awesome pistol, and with properly cleaned, oiled and proper working condition, without pulling the trigger to the rear in any amount, they will not fire, period. If you have to bend, wiggle, the slide with force (why or who would freaking do that?) to try and make the gun fire, don’t do that! If your slide has that much side to side or up and down movement with the slide 100% forward, fix your gun! You guys cant be serious to think these videos reveal some hidden engineering problem, or any other problem with any pistol, are you really serious? Think about it, having to manipulate something to prove a point only proves your a manipulator and not a serious investigator. And if you say this happens in your holster, get a freaking new holster, and specifically for your gun. You and others on this thread cant possibly be real people with a brain, but must be AI ComiBots. Darn ComiBots, they are everywhere!

Kris,

You are definitely entitled to your opinion especially as an American. Your opinion is yours but it proves critical thinking is a rarity, as you lack it as well.
