You're wrong.
lol. Love you to baby cakes
You're wrong.
Some prefer no manual safety. Some do. I like the trigger only safety in my glocks which ive dropped more than id like to admit. I just let it hit the ground. We had our instructor of class tell us if a glock drops, just let it go. He seen a fellow officer try to catch it and it went off because he hit the trigger.but would definitely feel more comfortable carrying the Sig with a manual safety
I have never been a fan of striker fired handguns and have always preferred a hammer!
I went home last night and dropped my P320 10x's...never fired.
On a somewhat serious note, the more ammo in the pistol, the harder it will hit the ground.Did you do this test the same way as the guy in the video? If so you have balls of steel.

I figured I would drop it from my deck onto the concrete around my pool.
Disclaimer: I'm full of shit. I pulled the P320 C out of my truck, emptied it, put it in my safe, then put my Sig P229 Legion in my truck.

Just to clarify, blanks were used in the video. Pin striking primer is all that was needed to be done to prove the issue.
If you are going to use an ASP video, I may as well quote him... drawing on a drawn gun is foolish. You can't tell what this guy does in the video, but I imagine he was able to distract or deflect his attack before drawing his weapon. Either that or the robber was a damn fool.I don't think stupidity is the right word if your referring to my posts. You think this guy in the car had his safety on?
I agree with your last paragraph but when I do super quick holster pulls with my shield (safety on) I'd say 1 out of 25 times I fail to disengage the safety SO it does impede my performance on rare occasions.If you are going to use an ASP video, I may as well quote him... drawing on a drawn gun is foolish.

Whether you have a safety or not in this situation, you were already at a huge disadvantage. You may feel a safety slows you down, and if you do, I encourage you to not use one. But as I and others have stated, we train that way... the safety is an added protection that does not come at a cost and does not impede performance.
If you learn to grip your weapon a specific way, and you have a gun that fits your style, you will remove the safety when you grip the weapon, there is no added movement.

I wonder if he didn't see something wrong with the firearm? Maybe he recognized an unactivated chamber indicator or a downed hammer? An SR9 for instance has a chamber indicator that's visible from across a room.If you are going to use an ASP video, I may as well quote him... drawing on a drawn gun is foolish.

Looks like his finger was inside the trigger guard when he pulled the weapon..
