After I wrote this last night I had an Epiphany. If the trigger safety pivot is near the bottom of the piece. A gun being dropped on it's rear would cause the trigger to move rearward, but the TOP of the trigger safety would also move rearward, not the part you pull with your finger. Thus the trigger would not fire the gun.But.......if the gun when dropped with the muzzle up, with enough force to have the inertia of the trigger move the trigger rearward, wouldn't the trigger safety also have the same inertia and move also? Thereby defeating the purpose? That's exactly the image I can't get past.
Suddenly, it made sense.
As far as a foreign object pulling the trigger, the trigger safety is worthless to protect against that.
