Bullshit. You don't know much about firearms if you think the only safety is a trigger block. Why do virtually all LEO and gun experts carry condition 1? Again, I'm not talking about antiques but modern weapons. Guns do not discharge from a hard bump. A firing pin has to more than just move and touch the primer, it has to have impart force. Find me a web reference from a qualified firearms expert that agrees with your claim. Post a link and prove me wrong.
I have three very modern firearms that are potentially susceptible to a drop-fire. They're single-action thumpers from Freedom Arms. Mind you; they're not very well-suited as combat weapons. The best prevention is to load one shy of full, and to keep the hammer over the empty chamber until firing time. cn
I would have shot myself at least fifty times by now if that were true . lol
Thats scary , I only have good quality firearms , something more dependable , ones that don't stove pipe on you . Smith & Wesson or other top brands are all I would consider having .
Freedom Arms guns are of effectively unmatched quality. They are made and sold as hunting guns however. The quality of the machining, fitment and metallurgy define the state of the art imo. cn
I never heard of them , but I am not an expert in firearms either . Any firearm that could be impact sensitive concerns me . Been shot before so maybe I'm just edgy . All I've owned are S&W , Ruger , Sig , and a Winchester .
It's cool . I believe you to be very credible . Didn't mean to be cocky .
You spinning it around on your finger or something?
Single action revolvers are certainly an exception which is why I mentioned antiques and that would include any modern revolver replicas used for cowboy action shooting which is basically what those Freedom Arms are sold for. Anyone that owns a single action should understand that you store it with the hammer over an empty chamber.

. Looks like a very uncomfortable way to walk the dog. A little 4 inch streamlight flashlight is all I need to walk the dog and if I'm walking the dog stopping power isn't an issue. Your never gonna beat the .45 Colt with good old fashioned ball ammo for stopping power at a good price. Stopping power is situational. I guess a 1 oz copper solid has more stopping power than a .223.5.56 but I am equally afraid of both.
My dog walking weapon of choice has been an N. American Arms 5 shot .22 magnum single action revolver for years. You drop it in your pocket like a pocket knife. I live in the burbs so I'm just thinking yotes but I'll tell you the .22 magnum round is an angry little bee. N.A. Arms just came out with a break action model so you don't have to pull the cylinder pin to load Sweet little gun but if I have to reload a .22 I'm screwed anyway.
The 260s are useless in .45 acp , flying wwwayyyy too slow for expansion. Now 260 works well in .45 LC , but then that's .458 and more powder cpacity.
