[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3209850, member: 43724"] Not sure what you are asking here. I was showing that the cases where a DA/SA pistol has gone off accidentally as mentioned in the quoted article they were cocked and locked which puts them in SA mode. In DA mode (aka hammer decocked) its virtually impossible for an AD to occur, unless you hit that one spot on the hammer while dropping the firearm. We can sit here and argue about this till we both turn blue. I won't carry a striker fired pistol, plain and simple, just like I won't carry my PX4 cocked and locked. I train to be able to shoot both DA and SA for that reason. Yes, I know that the chances of a striker style pistol having an AD while carrying is small, but to me the chance is still there. I don't want some little brat ramming me with a cart and possibly setting off my pistol. Will it happen? Probably not. Could it happen? yes. Can it happen with a DA with the hammer decocked? No. To each their own. [/QUOTE]
