how reliable is a striker fired pistol in reguards to AD's?

Just as an aside, Lubbock, Texas has gone away from a SIG to Glock, but with factory ( not NY heavy) trigger. Reason, DAO trigger was too difficult to use.

I have found this to be the case (not being a DA/SA shooter myself). Many of the guys that own them have only ever shot them in SA. Reason being they load it and then don't decock it before firing at the target range.

When we force them to fire the first shot DA (as it would if they were actually CCWing it), they can barely break the trigger.

Remember that ANYTHING that pulls the trigger will cause a discharge. That means your finger, a string, a jacket pull, an ink pen, a lipstick, a key ring, etc. You get the picture.

Think outside the box. It is NOT just a careless finger that can cause a discharge.

This is why we don't buy cheap piece of trash holsters, and why we exercise good holstering/reholstering technique.

The diference one make to the next in DA/SA pistols is vast. I've been with a CZ75d for a while, and my DA first is good.As good as my M27 and 1911 and the little BG.380...I guess that's just practice.

The survivors of Akai Gurley just received a $4.1 million settlement.

I wonder how much proper training and supervision before the fact would have cost...

Maybe NYC will sue Glock because the ludicrously heavy "NY trigger" didn't prevent the shooting.

Coming soon, "The NY 3 Trigger from Soloflex"!

Well, with about 40,000 people carrying guns for NYPD, $4.1 million leaves around $100 an officer for training and supervision, including training supervisors. Can't hardly buy ammo and notepads for that. I'm not making light of the settlement, or of the death, but rather making the point that you are in this instance comparing apples and railroad ties.

As to the point of the original argument, neither striker fired nor hammered fired pistols are inherently unsafe, unless modified or degraded to the point that the firearm can be discharged by mere handling . . .

At the same time, how much does it REALLY cost to tell cops:

1. Don't draw your firearm unless there's an actual threat."
2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're about to fire?

The Army used to issue regular bulletins, and even print things like "PM" magazine to warn people about defective equipment and inappropriate practices.
