I was searching around the internet and here and was unable to find anything directly addressing the issue. I know that my S&W 442 has passed drop-safety testing in my State, but was wondering if there's any internal 'passive' type of safety that renders the gun 'drop-safe' where pulling of trigger is non-existent.
Please be as specific as possible in stating such a passive safety or safeties.
For instance, is there some type of firing pin safety or other?
I do know from the Miculek Trigger Job video that K and other frames have a hammer block part that slips out of the way only when trigger is fully pulled to the rear, but I don't believe such a part exists in my 442. I have no desire to even put a screwdriver to the face place to mess with the gun. I did have another 442 and a 49 in the past, worked on them, regretted the idiot marks I had placed on the frame, and particularly by the screws, etc., and I just want to leave the gun I have alone as it is nearly pristine in exterior appearance.
Thanks in advance!
