How to accidentally discharge your pistol properly.

(For licensing or usage, contact licensing@) A shooter at a local match had an accidental discharge and we were lucky enough to catch it on film. This was NOT a negligent discharge as his finger was nowhere near the trigger when the gun fired. Consider all of the things he did CORRECTLY during the incident: is pointed down range and in a safe direction. 2. After the discharge he did not panic, but rather surveyed the situation. 3. After surveying the situation he awaited directions from the range officer instead of wildly handling the firearm. Also, consider all of the things that he did INCORRECTLY prior to the incident: 1. He installed an aftermarket hammer and sear that were labeled “gunsmith installation only“. 2. He disabled the firing pin block safety on his firearm for a shorter reset. In his defense, this handgun had been tested and run weekly at ranges for roughly 1,000 rounds before the sear engagement failed and caused the accidental discharge.
