I have recently heard of Kahr and it's lack of "Drop Safety"
I thought this was particularly interesting since it has a firing pin safety block. I spoke with a gentleman that has a .40 hole in his ceiling because his brother in law dropped his Kahr off the kitchen table. Insults to this gentleman aside, the gun should not have fired.
Second, at a firing range, a shooter down the line from the same individual dropped a different Kahr, and it fired a hole in the ceiling as well.
After further inspection of the Kahr and the engineering behind the drop safety, I would say that it is possible, and not entirely unlikely.
To my surprise, the cocking cam on the Kahr will rotate without movement from the trigger/trigger bar. What this allows is that with a drop, if it hits the rear of the gun at the right spot, the cocking cam should be able to rotate in a way that would press the firing pin safety block.
As mentioned, the firing pin safety on the Kahr is similar to the Glock. Except the Glock's safety is actuated by the movement of the trigger bar. Because the Glock has the "safe action" trigger, should a Glock be dropped, the trigger safety isn't depressed, locking the trigger bar from moving forward or rearward. This would prevent any type of accidental discharge.
On a side note, Kahr can help themselves out by connecting the trigger bar to the cocking cam. At least at that time they would have 2 springs for the fall to act against. The spring in the cocking cam and the trigger spring. This could greatly reduce the chances of a drop fire, but would still not eliminate them.
