Is your pistol drop safe?

It's all good, Brother. Ain't none of us perefect.

I have thrown a couple before.

There is nothing about this I find hard to believe!

I did do drop tests on one of the firearms that I polished the trigger bar on, just to make sure I didn't do too much. Snap cap and drop on smooth concrete floor.

The ones i remember was a raven arms, it wouldn't work for nothing. threw it at a washing machine lid i had a target pasted on. even missed the target by throwing it. also a revolver that blew up in my face, i bounced that sucker off a tree. and a tec 9 that wouldn't work and when it did it was full auto.

i like throwing things when they don't work. threw a crapsman chainsaw up in a tree when it wouldn't start back. it got stuck. luckily it wasn't that far up and i was able to get it down. i don't own any of those items now.

I get it. I’m a thrower too!

I owned a 9mm Taurus PT 111 that wasn't drop safe. Taurus issued a factory recall on the pistol so I send it back to them and they sent me a 9mm G2C. I like the G2C better than the PT 111. BTW, I believe there is still an open recall on those pistols.

I drop tested my Colt 1911 pre-series 70 from a ten ft ladder onto the driveway to see if the grip safety worked. It did!

That’s gotta be the worst thing to do to any gun period! Look at what you did to the gun, no way in hades would I even think of doing such a thing. Your one and only safety you should be concerned about is your finger, keep it off the trigger!

That was my sick sense of humor! That's a $2,200 gun!

I suppose accidents can and do happen, but the only guns I carry outside of my range are my Colt Agent 38 which I believe is drop proof, and a Glock 23.3, which I also believe to be drop proof.

My range is outdoor and grass, so IDK if my other semi-autos (1911s and a couple of Sig229s, and several Gen3 Smiths) are drop proof. I suppose they are, but I don't know if I were to drop them (on the grass) they would discharge or not.

I shudder to think of dropping any of them.
