I don't disagree but that's not what I said. We don't know, and making crap up just further blurs it. I googled glock drop fire and found posts and videos saying/showing it happen. So could it have been a glock?Liberty wrote:Unfortunately, the gun type information is important safety information, and it's unlikely we will ever know.

should I go on? I can do this all day!
As Jay said, we know absolutely NOTHING!
The point was that we don't know and guessing is just that. How many stories have we heard about guns "going off"??? With the info we have it could have just as easily been a clear ND from handling where they dropped it when it discharged.... (we see those WAY more often than a true drop scenario)
or could have been a "drop safe" gun, fired in a purse with a lipstick tube in the trigger guard when the purse was dropped.
99.99% of guns that fire (yes, I made up that number) when dropped are fired during drop test protocol, hit with hammers or released from a fixture designed to make impact at a specific angle... not an actual drop fire- which is surprisingly rare.
