    I somehow think there is more to that story.
    A random fire without something moving is unusual

    I read the article. It mentioned no manual safety, like 80% of DAO carry guns are.

    Yeah, it didn't go off on it's own. I'll stick with my Springfields, they haven't tried to shoot me.
     
    Deere hunter, Oxbow and Crude Truckin' Thank this.

    I'm not overly knowledgable about handguns but why would you keep a round in the pipe? Just seems like a bad idea because of this reason.
     
    Big Road Skateboard Thanks this.

    That’s to eliminate the time it takes to chamber one when being attacked.

    1911s are often carried “####ed and locked”, that is, hammer back and safety on.

    With a Sig P226 like mine you chamber one and then hit the decocker. That gives your first shot a heavier trigger pull for safety reasons. A P320 on the other hand is striker fired like a Glock. Barring some internal defect with the one particular gun cited in the article I don’t see how what happened here is possible.

    I carry my Heiser Defense PKO45 with an empty chamber. Personal preference. But in practice, I can chamber one pretty quick.
     
    Deere hunter and Oxbow Thank this.

    To be able to react with little time. And it is a two handed job, so if someone has a hold of your arm you are defending yourself with a paperweight..... at best

    ;) thats like not wearing a seatbelt, saying you can connect it during a wreck.....
