Well, the most likely thing to "snag" the trigger on the way down is a finger belonging to the person who is trying to grab the falling gun. That's not the fault of the gun.Cedar Park Dad wrote:You're assuming something doesn't snag the trigger on the way down, but you're right on the landing part. However, things can and do happen. Some dude popped a round in the lobby of the shootin' range last night, thinking he had cleared his pistol.

Look for an internal safety that prevents the striker (or hammer) from working unless the trigger has been pulled. If your gun doesn't have one, get a new gun.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Its not the pistol in the holster (it wasn't for me anyway).

If it's in a quality holster, the trigger is NOT going to get pulled.
And, the example you gave had nothing to do with dropped guns.
