Oh crap!
Pistol is definitely NOT drop safe!
My living room floor is hardwood with a somewhat thin area rug in the middle. I figured I could safely drop the pistol on the rug without damaging it to really make sure the pistol is drop safe with the new trigger.
I dropped it over a dozen times from different heights and onto different areas of the gun. Any height over two feet, the trigger will release. I simulated dropping it from a table top at four feet and it released whether it landed on the muzzle, the top of the slide, the back of the slide, or on the magazine. It released every time.
I then did the same simulating it tumbling from a holster or waist high drop. Released every time.
This is falling on a padded carpet on hardwood, which is not damaging the pistol in any way. Obviously, in the real world, this pistol falling on concrete, wood, or any solid surface would go off if dropped from nearly any height.
The rubber mallet test tells me it is safe to handle and bump around, but not drop safe at all.
Sad, because the trigger is just so amazingly good.
Imagine, if the pistol was accidentally dropped on the gravel during a quick - draw in one of those time - sensitive competitions...
"Thank God he signed the waiver!"
Is this a situation wherein a round would definitely have fired?
