The Air Force Global Strike Command has ordered an immediate halt to the use of its M18 service pistol following the death of a Security Forces Airman in a “tragic incident.” The Airman was killed by an alleged accidental discharge, fueling long-standing complaints and a recent FBI report suggesting the M18 can fire without its trigger being pulled.

HRC “At this point, what difference does it make”?
I have read that some of the WW II Polish Radom pistols fired when dropping the hammer. Those made in concentration camps.
I have one. Cant say I have had any issues. Admittedly I dont use it much as I spend most of my time with my G19 or SigP365.
(Too lazy to post photo of Charlie X)
NOPE
But then again why would they give guns to Air Farce people?...
I don’t own a P320 but if I wanted to, I could buy one of eight used P320s at one of my local gun stores.
Gunsite Academy in Paulden AZ, has temporarily banned its use in their training courses.
Glad my Glock doesn't have that issue. I like carrying with one in the chamber.
“But then again why would they give guns to Air Farce people?”
You mean like the ones we use to clear the way for you ground hogs that need a path or to keep you out of areas where you can’t be totally supervised like Iran. We get paid to step in front of a bullet just like you.

Paging Alec Baldwin...Alec Baldwin to the “gun goes of by itself” courtesy phone...
I had one of the M18 commemorative models in a fancy display case. It never fired itself. Maybe that’s because I never loaded it. Sold it for more than I paid for it, so I’m happy with mine
....”Air Farce.....”? really....??
I tried to enlist in the Army but scored too high (48 percentile) on IQ test so they rejected me.😀
Autodriving cars, now autofiring guns?
What’ll they think of next??

Nope.
So did her brain
Why would they give aircraft to ground pounders? LOL!!
Tried to put a little humor in my post.
I , of course as a veteran respect all branches of military..
Sadly, I lost a good friend, and fellow police academy class graduate, last week, to cancer.
We both retired in 1999 after 30 year careers.
My friend was a K9 Airman in the Air Force.
Also he ran our Department SWAT UNIT and was our Range Master.
Our Department had a long police procession to our state National Military Cemetery, where he was interred with military honors. Two Active Airmen were provided as casket guards.
