Not to mention that having a chambered round under a spring loaded firing pin is risky, I don’t care what safety you’re using, striker being the worst. I think it is important to realize that even the venerable 1911 was developed for combat situations, the acceptable level of accidental discharge risk is much higher in a combat zone when compared to suburban father scenarios. I leave the firing pin over a discharged chamber in my EDC revolver because frankly, it doesn’t matter why if I accidentally shoot my kid. Safety first people! Use your head.

if the trigger pull is that light i think you got other problems. having to pull the slide before firing could cost you your life if they already did.

See this is where I disagree. With a revolver it’s safe until you pull the trigger, racking the slide is going to make the critical difference in an very small number of circumstances, training deficiencies are going to have a much larger effect on outcomes. If you hear shots, you are going to seek cover first. Once again, there are circumstances where you just can’t win. Do you really think unleashing ten rounds in a generalized unvetted direction pre-racking the slide is truly a good idea? Maybe you hit an innocent. Maybe you hit a child. Either way, you better hope I am not there, and identify you as the threat in spite of your intentions. nostr:npub1mlekuhhxqq6p8w9x5fs469cjk3fu9zw7uptujr55zmpuhhj48u3qnwx3q5
