Most of us have not had the types of issues recently reported at the Appleseed events.

I would categorize it as about as safe as a firearm can get, given the mechanical parts and pressures/forces that are applied to it.

I've had OOB and pin walking incidents with the 15/22. The pins were due to trying a different trigger, and I'm sure I didn't seat everything correctly. The OOB I have no idea; my son was shooting at the time; I use a brass catcher so no shrapnel hit anyone.

Cheers!
