She did an investigation on the other boy because it’s reasonable that he may have shot him instead but all forensics and Leo reports came back that with the scuffing on the gun and the angle it was almost positively a drop incident. I’ve thought about posting a video on all of it with all the reports because the incident as a whole is wild. She was in Virginia while leaving them alone at the condo in AZ.

Watching these slo-mo videos of guns falling also reinforces the lesson my grandfather taught me when it comes to carrying firearms: “A falling gun is all trigger. Just let it fall and hope for the best. It probably won’t go off.”. There’s no way to safely catch a falling gun, and the slo-mo proves that. They’re spinning and bouncing all over the place. Would be too easy to accidentally cycle the trigger while trying to get a handle of the pistol.

My dad (law enforcement who carried the 320) said that on the old models there was no firing pin safety. Because of the weight of the trigger, when you dropped it on the butt, the trigger had enough momentum to keep moving and would fire the weapon. This was fixed on newer models with a firing pin safety and lighter trigger. Keep up the good work guys!❤
@bigpatty82329 күн бұрын
Drop firing due to trigger weight has nothing to do with a firing pin safety. The inertia carries the trigger rearward and there is absolutely no discernible difference between this force and the force of an operator intentionally pulling the trigger rearward. Either action will disengage a firing pin safety. A firing pin safety only prevents a sear trip or firing pin inertia from firing a round when the trigger is not depressed. The most surefire way to prevent trigger inertia from carrying the trigger rearward is a system like Glock where there is a secondary tab on the trigger that is so lightweight it cant be carried by inertia. These systems also don't completely prevent it, just raise the force required to a level that exceeds what could be encountered.
@bananaman-qj4nuАй бұрын
The reason why the only guns that went off were the 1911 based guns was because of the firing pin block (or lack thereof on 1911s). On pretty much all modern pistols there is a piece of metal in the slide that physically blocks the firing pin from moving forward. This piece of metal is moved out of the way by a lever as you pull the trigger. AFAIK all the guns in this video aside from the 1911/2011s have one. The reason why those don't is because the 1911 wasnt originally designed with one, and the addition of the firing pin block makes the trigger slightly worse. In the 80s the military wanted their guns to be drop safe, so they required a change to the 1911. Colt added a firing pin block, and that became known as a series 80 1911, and 1911s without one are known as series 70. Another notable gun without a firing pin block is the CZ Shadow series, because they're designed for competition use. Similar to the 1911s, if you drop them on the muzzle the firing pin's inertia can let it move forward and strike the primer, without the trigger or hammer moving at all. In other guns this is prevented by the firing pin block.

@johnnytyler5685Ай бұрын
All 1911s built to Browning's original design will go off when dropped specifically on the muzzle. That's because the only thing holding the firing pin back is the firing pin spring, so the force of dropping the gun on the muzzle gives the firing pin enough forward momentum to overcome the strength of the spring and the firing pin moves forward and hits the primer. This is also why the 1911s didn't go off when dropped on the rear of the slide. This can potentially be eliminated or at least mitigated by using a titanium firing pin. Firing pins are traditionally hardened steel, so they have more mass moving forward. The lighter weight of titanium means there (generally) won't be enough forward momentum in the firing pin to set off the primer when the gun is dropped on the muzzle. This is why Colt (the only company making 1911s at the time) developed the "Series 80" in the 1980's. It added a firing pin block to the original 1911 design which prevents the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled. This is the same type of safety that is present on all "modern" guns...including the other ones tested in this vid. That's why none of them went off. A series 80-style 1911 would've "passed" this test.

Given the 2011 was originally designed for competition, it makes sense why they’d go for a Series 70 design. Para Ordnance made double stack 1911s with Series 80 firing pin blocks, though. I built my custom 1911 off that frame primarily because it had higher capacity .45ACP magazines, but also because it was Series 80. The trigger is still better than any non-1911 trigger and is fully drop safe (with 15+1 rounds of .45ACP flush fit).

Because I am not ready to fire. Most of these boil down to safe transport law. But we are talking about defensive shooting. Your statements about likelyhood are false. If I need my gun to defend my life ( and once I was in that scenario, I tried to de-esculate and withdraw, but was pursued) I want it ready to go NOW. Because seconds matter. When planning for the unexpected you can't expect a perfect scenario where you can rack the slide. Again, you're probably caught off guard, you're working, you're tired, it's dark out, and adding extra steps to a life threatening scenario is just unwise. Again, it's 2024, the majority of handguns are drop safe. I have dry fired holster drills THOUSANDS of times. I have educated people to do the same. Not once has my firing pin dropped on accident. I even dropped my gun once, didn't go off. The really only way I know a gun to go off is if you got a zipper or coat string ect dangling in your holster, which could catch your trigger. Even then there are passive safetys to mitigate this, and in top of that, just look at your damn holster before you carefully place the gun back in it. You claim there's a hypocrisy about gun safety, and it is clear you have no standing to make that claim. When most everyone citizens who carries daily, Swat cops, federal agents, firearm instructors, special forces, all carry with one in the pipe, can you stop and think maybe there's good reason for it. The problems you see with carrying with one in the chamber just aren't reality frankly.

The obvious common denominator here is the lack of a firing pin safety. Doesn't matter if the safety is on or off. Doesn't matter if it's cocked. If there's nothing to arrest the forward motion of the firing pin, inertia will be enough. This is one reason why companies like Springfield shipped (don't know if they still do), 1911's with a titanium firing pin. It was to reduce the mass because of this potential issue.

@@mynameisjeff6988 Did you ever do that egg dropping contest in grade school where you're supposed to design a device to protect an egg from breaking when you drop it from a tall spot? My design ended up ejecting the egg into the grass....miraculously unbroken. But I only had to drop it once, so I passed. However, I doubt it would have consistently passed the test if I had dropped it 10,000 times at different angles on different surfaces... Are you seeing my point? We can draw SOME conclusions from what we saw. One conclusion might be "Not having a firing pin block seems to be a mistake for safety." Another might be "Wow the ones that went off are really not very drop safe at all under these conditions." What we cannot say is that the guns that didn't go off WONT EVER go off. All we can say is they didn't this time. If we dramatically increase the testing we could see a failure rate emerge or find a specific drop angle that the design doesn't handle well. Once you run this test with many more angles and MANY MANY more drops you can start to do things like suggesting a gun is effectively drop safe because it never went off in testing. With a big enough sample size it becomes conclusive in the negative. The problem is you're trying to prove a negative. You can't reeeeaaallly do that in most circumstances. But you can demonstrate that it is vanishingly unlikely, which can be basically just as good. But it takes a LOT of data.

The problem with the Sig 320 from what I recall was that the trigger was heavy enough that the impact would "pull" the trigger, not that it didn't have internal safeties or that they failed. That means to replicate the issue it needs to impact on the back of the slide, if it impacts on the frame the slide might go out of battery and block the striker/trigger.
@user-lv6fc9nn6fАй бұрын
So, most 1911s don't have enough mass in the firing pin for inertia to overcome the spring and ignite a primer. The reason they fire is the mass and geometry of the sear, which is why they don't fire with the thumb safety engaged or when dropped on the rear. The thumb safety directly engages the sear, the grip safety only prevents the trigger from moving. When the frame and slide suddenly stop muzzle down the sear will rotate forward disengaging the hammer. This is also aggravated by most modern 1911 hammers being made with far less aggressive half-cock notches than traditional. This issue has been addressed in a number of ways, heavier firing pin springs, lighter firing pins, and most effectively the Schwartz style, aka colt series-80, firing pin block. The Kimber style series-80 is activated by the grip safety and theoretically could disengage itself with a muzzle down impact.
@chrisnorman1430Ай бұрын
Literally the first person that seems to understand this. Many 1911s and 2011s are series 70 so they don't have the sear block. The reason manufacturers produce these guns in this format is because albeit only a little bit, the sear does put extra spring pressure on the trigger and makes for a slightly less clean break, most of these pistols are purpose built for precision target shooting and not a defensive or combat situation so the bumps and jolts shouldn't be as much of a factor and even if they are they're in a controlled environment. The included manual safety alleviates this issue as long as it's engages so if you plan on carrying a 1911 or 2011 it's easy to check whether you have a series 70 or 80 just by removing the slide and looking to see if there is a firing pin sear block, but either way it's a 1911 and they usually have incredibly light triggers so if you're gonna carry one I'd train carry with the manual safety engaged.

Guess you missed the part where the hammer was still engaged despite the slide not reciprocating. The 2011s fired because the sudden stop compressed the firing pin spring just enough to engage the primer. If you put a titanium firing pin and a stiffer spring it would be deterred from happening.

I have personally witnessed cracked locking blocks, broken locking block pins, broken trigger bar springs, broken trigger pins, bent trigger bars, gouged/worn sears, worn (failed) firing pin safeties, broken slide rails, broken or failed slide stop springs, front sights loose, broken trigger safeties....whew! And Glock has issued innumerable "upgrades" for LE due to design corrections. But this is not unique to the Glock. All mechanical items wear, break, fail, etc. Carried a Glock for almost two decades as a police officer before my agency switched to S&W 2.0's. What a difference and glad we made the change.

The P320 had issues with the first gen model. Sig admitted if the gun was dropped at a 30 degree angle, the weight of the trigger would depress the trigger causing the gun to fire. After the complaints, Sig released a voluntary upgrade and all new P320s came with upgraded triggers and FCGs which make it impossble for the gun to fire. The P320s you dropped had the upgraded triggers and FCG which is noted by the thin triggers. The original triggers were more than twice as thick.

A more accurate description from Sig on the fix "The P320 Voluntary Upgrade Program is a SIG SAUER initiative to upgrade P320 pistols at no additional cost. This will include an alternate design that reduces the physical weight of the trigger, sear, and striker while additionally adding a mechanical disconnector." The additional mechanical disconnector was probably the most SIGnificant fix for the problem...
@stayvigilant007Ай бұрын
Thank you for giving Sig an honest test. I had one of those first gen P320’s from almost 10 years ago. It was a revolutionary design with the FCU system. Not surprised it had an issue. But I sent it back, they sent me the revised FCU. Still have it to this day. It’s seen 5 different grip mods , 7 different barrels and slides. The trigger worked into something every bit as good a feeling trigger as my Timney’s or Overwatch Precision . Never a single issue. I have 6 of them without any problems. I still love Glocks and FN’s, but the P320 X-series is tough to beat.

My P320 Carry got the optional trigger upgrade too, but I felt that the trigger was a little "spongy" after the upgrade. I really liked how crisp it was before which was one of my reason for purchasing it to begin with.

@billcaruso9599Ай бұрын
I could be wrong, and i'm sure the internet will let me know, but I thought most of those drop test issues were gen1 P320s. Sig made some changes to the internals to address those concerns and allowed owners to have their gen1s "fixed" for free. This part i know is real because I own a gen1 and sent it in. Not over the concerns of the "test" results, but because all after market, and I assume Sig also, triggers etc. were only compatible with the "fixed" version. Mine is still completely stock, but I have considered getting a flat trigger for it. So I at least know I can if i want to.

I think it's worth mentioning that it was only early production Sig P320s that had drop safety issues, which were all subject to a recall. Both of the guns in the video are post-recall, which can be visually determined by the shape of the trigger shoe. The early guns had a beefier looking trigger, while those of the post-recall guns are much slimmer.
@robwoodring9437Ай бұрын
Thanks for that info. I've been wondering why I see such a disparity between p320 owners who swear it's 100% safe and those who say 100% unsafe. I'm now thinking the "unsafers" just didn't know about/didn't get the recall.

Folks, this is why Colt added the firing pin block safety years ago in their series 80. If you insist on using a 1911 (or 2011) type without a firing pin block safety, and this worries you, make sure you use an extra power firing pin spring in addition to a titanium firing pin.

@gameragodzillaАй бұрын
@@danielhenderson8316 Eh, that’s not the reason the 2011s don’t have Series 80 components. The Series 80 firing pin block makes the trigger a bit mushier and heavier than a Series 70 trigger, so people who want the best possible trigger (given the 1911 is famous for having a great trigger) don’t go for Series 80 guns. Given 2011s were originally designed for competition (where you want the best possible trigger), that makes sense. Para Ordnance double stack 1911s pre-date the 2011 frame by a few years and those are Series 80. Built my custom gun off a Para frame, mostly because it had higher capacity magazines in .45ACP but also because I wanted the Series 80 components because it’s a carry gun. And a Series 80 1911 trigger, while worse than a Series 70 1911 trigger, is still better than any non-1911 trigger. Once you get used to getting through the mush to the true wall, it still breaks like a glass rod.
