Sig Sauer Verdict

The NPR story goes in depth as to why and how it happens.

 

Just some info I C&P.

Based on the Crime Prevention Research Center's (CPRC) recent analysis, the data actually supports that armed citizens do effectively stop active shooters. The CPRC found that armed citizens stopped 35.7% of active shooter incidents between 2014-2022, significantly higher than the FBI's reported 4.6%.

In areas where concealed carry was legally permitted, the success rate was even higher - 51% of attacks were stopped by armed citizens, and this number rose to 63.5% in 2022. Importantly, the research also found that in these interventions, there has never been a case of an armed citizen accidentally shooting an innocent bystander, and only one recorded instance of police mistakenly shooting the intervening armed citizen.

A J frame in in 38spl with a modern +p 125grn hollow point . Underwood , corbon or if you really want to push .38spl to its limit Buffalo bore .

 

Not really. In fact there was no explanation given at all. I found that disappointing because I wanted to know what the mechanics were that cause the unintentional discharges.

As can any other handgun. It is not necessary to touch the trigger in order for a firearm to discharge. All that must happen is there must be sufficient force to push the firing pin forward.

Have these people never heard of fanning a revolver?

 

Love my lightweight s&w 38 sp. The safety is me.

 

All my BS'n Sig, an I went out and bought one a month or two ago. A P226 X5 Classic. Beautiful gun, accurate AF, with little recoil due to it's weight.
