Further thoughts on drop testing pistols
So, I bought a new 9mm home yesterday and was surprised to see that the manual clearly states that if the gun is loaded and dropped, it could fire. I got an immediate flashback to the Taurus issue.
Closer inspection of the gun makes this statement a little odd as it has a perfectly functional firing pin block that requires the trigger to be operated. Maybe they think sufficient shock can bounce the FP block aside at the same time ramming home the FP into a primer. Hardly seems likely. Maybe this is the polite way of saying "hang on to your gun, doofus".
BTW, I'll tell you what it is after my first range visit.
