If I'm ever involved in a social situation that involves tear gas, I'll either fling up my arms and surrender or run as far and as fast as I'm able (which will probably be not far).
FWIW, the CA DOJ test documentation is pretty extensive w.r.t. drop safety. See section 12128: Handgun Safety Testing. Also note they have approved (i.e., passed the drop test) a number of "series-70 type" 1911s including two of my beloved Dan Wessons. Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale
Rick: My SA TRP got a standard mainspring housing within approximately 15 minutes of making it inside my home. Last thing I need on a gun is more parts to go wrong. Like, say, series-80 firing pin safety bits or Swartz-style safeties. |
I aint sayin' a series 70 is unsafe. I'm just saying that it's a potential safety issue. And DEFINITELY something any series 70 owner should be aware of.
And yeah...women love to start fights.
