Was doing some drop tests on a Glock with an aftermarket trigger system installed to see if it was drop safe (it wasn't) and it got me to thinking about how many times I had actually dropped a firearm in my 40+ years of hunting, target shooting, competing with, and carrying weapons in both a military and civilian capacity.
Twice. And both in the last two years. Once was when I was changing targets at the cabin range and had a Taurus G2c in a Carhart jacket pocket that tumbled out and onto the gravel. It was not loaded or had a round in the chamber.
The second time was a couple of week ago when my Ruger Predator rifle was on my shooting bench and tipped over and fell on the ground. It was also unloaded.
So, I have never dropped a loaded weapon.
Curious as to how often such an incident happens to other folks.
