Well, it helps if you keep your finger off the trigger ...
Ooops. It looks like back to the SAA for them.
It sounds like an SA/DA issue on the accuracy, and also on first shot misfires. Anybody like the Walther AS system?
Silly cops need to get revolvers and one bullet (stored safely in a short pocket).
Back Revolters and speed-loaders.
(1) Always point the firearm in a safe direction. Always.
(2) KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE BANG SWITCH UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE.
Their procurement department f’ed up.
My Department just switched to the Smith&Wesson MP9.After my initial training with it.I found that the weapon is a good pistol,though its magazines are very difficult to load.
Something that could be very dangerous in a combat situation.
As a matter of fact I have never found an Auto Pistol with magazines that are more difficult to load than the ones used in the Smith&Wesson MP9.
I hope Smith&Wesson Figures out a way to loosen those tolerances in the magazines so they can be reloaded easier without putting excessive wear on the shooters thumb.
Time for a little 101:
A misfire is when you pull the trigger, intending to fire the weapon and it appears to function, but does not strike the primer with enough force to discharge the round. This may be caused by either a malfunctioning weapon or bad ammunition.
What we have here are a string of negligent discharges which indicate the operators of the weapons are either handling their weapons with their finger on the trigger or drawing them that way.
Factory Glocks hqave a 5.5lbs trigger pull.
Its not the gun, its the training. More is needed.
I wouldn't have a clunker like that in my house.
Hell, there's revolvers that only go 7lbs in DOUBLE ACTION mode.
That is a "light" trigger? Couple that with low IQ cops that cannot be trained about trigger finger discipline and you get this. Give them a Sig with a 12 lb first DA pull if the idiots can't keep their booger picker off the trigger.
And liberals say only cops should be allowed firearms.
Keep your bugger hook off the bang button.
Those Are NOT ACCIDENTS, we call that:
Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm, Negligent Disccharge of a Firearm, Reckless Endangerment involving of a Firearm, These CRIMES almost always results in Jail Time and Probation if you don’t have a Magic Blue Costume, if an INJURY occurs, PRISON!
>> can be fired more reliably under stress
LOL! Right. Or, at least, “can be fired MORE under stress”
I just got the recent Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Shield without thumb safety. Nice gun, accurate, and requires about 6-1/2 pounds to pull the trigger. That doesn’t happen by accident. Took my twin 7 year olds out target practicing yesterday—they mostly using a Marlin 22 caliber single shot. When attempting to fire my M&P 40, they could not pull the trigger on their own. Good kick (and thankfully with my help holding, not enough to crease their forehead)—one scored a direct bulls eye at 25 feet.
Bump for reference. This is the full-size M&P, right?
How is it different from a Glock or any other pistol with the safety in the trigger?
