I think there are shooters that haven’t had an AD

There are very few ACCIDENTAL discharges. There are many more NEGLIGENT discharges. I have had both.

Three ND's and Four AD's from the same gun. A Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull. At first I blamed myself And called myself some colorful names. The second time, I thought I had done it again.The third time I deliberately had my finger off the trigger.

I took that sucker home and cleaned it very well. Then I loaded it with some light lads and fired it until it did it again. Called Ruger, and they found a broken sear. No charge and three weeks turnaround. Got it back on opening day!!

I don’t draw a distinction between an AD and an ND. To my mind they’re the same. If it makes you feel better to call it negligent, then OK. So be it.

Had a Ruger Super Redhawk for four years in Alaska. Didn't shoot it much as it hurt my hand and was a monster to shoot. The good thing is in .454 Casull it was the best bear medicine I could lay my hands on. Great hand canon and as always if you have a problem Ruger always come through.
