Yeah, a big one erupted over that. No real safety flaw present if you follow the rules of gun safety. Never have finger on trigger unless you are on target, never pull trigger less you are ready to shoot. I mean really, who the hell pulls the trigger of the gun as they are putting on the safety then points it and pulls the trigger again?
You don't have to partially pull the trigger, although its the easiest way to demonstrate the problem. All it takes is some FOD to block the trigger's forward movement a bit and you think the gun is safe, when its not!
Just a matter of time before a lawsuit happens over this, bad gun handling or not.
Any circumstance where a gun with the safety on will fire, is IMHO a serious problem!
Taurus seems to have quietly fixed it on the current production run of the Millennium PRO guns, its not confined to the .45ACP models as my .40S&W does it as well, I note that the new OSS models don't have the issue.

I already covered this in the other thread. You DO have to move the trigger back two tenths of an inch...if that isn't "pulling the trigger" I don't know what is. It isn't the best design but it takes a moron to have a AD because of it. The video is deceptive and just adding fodder to ambulance chasing lawyers. Anyone who respected our right to keep and bear arms wouldn't post something like that.
Wally is correct. Maybe you don't know what FOD is - "Foreign Object Damage" or "Foreign Object Debris". If a metal shaving or some other foreign debris gets into the trigger housing such that the trigger does not return to the forward most position, it could cause the trigger to be offset enough to cause the safety to not block the trigger movement. Yet the trigger would still be forward enough to cause it to reset and be able to fire again. In this case it would be with no operator action other than engaging the safety.
And, BTW, you will notice that Taurus felt that this design warranted a specific notice in their manual to users about it. So, if Taurus is highlighting it in their users manual, than I see absolutely nothing wrong with a video being posted about it to demonstrate what the manual already talks about.
