Ok take for example the Kel-Tec P-11 which I own
It doesn't have a hammer block feature even if the manual says that the low inertia firing pin and the way the hammer is designed it makes basically impossible for the gun to accidentally discharge by the slide movement of by accidental falling muzzle down...still someone claimed that was able to set off a P-11 dropping it from as little as 4-5 feet.
The old pre 3rd generation S&W autoloader and the older Beretta 92 did not have a firing pin automatic safety either so they had the "half cock" hammer position feature when carried with the safety off.
Now my question is....in semiauto pistols with no firing pin block (let's say the P-11 or the above mention old handguns with their hammer all the way down, no half cock) could you actually set off a round by a particularly violent and fast backward slide movement when unloading the gun??

Are you suggesting someone might rack the slide so fast that the firing pin stays put and fires a round? That sounds a bit "out there."
