Common causes include poor trigger discipline, especially during reholstering where fingers might remain on the trigger or clothing can snag. Mishandling recoil on double-action revolvers can also lead to unintentional shots or 'bump firing'.

Why is understanding firearm action types like DA/SA important?

Knowing your firearm's action (like Double Action/Single Action) is crucial for understanding trigger pull weight and characteristics. This knowledge helps prevent errors like accidental discharges caused by improper grip or trigger manipulation, especially during recoil management.
