This video explores methods to induce an unintentional discharge in Sig P320 pistols. The instructor purchased two random P320s to test various scenarios, including striking the back with a hammer and drop testing, to determine if the firearms can be made to fire without squeezing the trigger. The goal is to assess the firearm's behavior under stress.

Mike from Sons of Liberty Gun Works explains the design philosophy behind their Liberty Fighting Trigger. The trigger is engineered to consistently break at 6 lbs with a crisp, predictable feel and a positive reset. A key focus is the heavy hammer strike, crucial for reliable primer ignition and preventing failures to detonate, especially on duty-grade rifles.

This guide details a fix for light primer strikes on Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbines, often caused by improper bolt alignment with the hammer. The process involves carefully grinding down an edge of the bolt with a Dremel tool to ensure the hammer can strike the firing pin effectively, regardless of the firearm's orientation. This modification addresses a manufacturing tolerance issue that prevents consistent ignition.

This video demonstrates a historical safety practice of loading only five rounds in a six-shot revolver for concealed carry. The presenter explains that this was done to prevent accidental discharge due to hammer strikes on a loaded chamber. The video mentions that modern revolvers, including the Heritage Rough Rider, often have improved safety features making full loading safer, but emphasizes that the decision ultimately rests with the owner.
