IIRC, one test did get a 1911 with a worn firing pin spring and heavy pin to go off in a 8-foot fall. Still not likely in the bathroom, and cheaply avoidable with a Wolff extra-power spring.dicion wrote:However, the lowest distance testing that I saw that was done (which I can't seem to find right now), that supposedly caused it to discharge, showed that the gun had to be dropped, muzzle first, from like 15 feet in order for the pin to overcome the firing pin spring, and hit the primer hard enough to cause it to go off.
I Can't think of any way possible for a 1911 to accidentally fall 15 feet in a bathroom stall.
