Wouldn’t you know it, a screenshot of an anonymous post on the internet claiming that it discharged while inside a holster appears to not be accurate.

    Ian also hit the nail on the head that even if there genuinely is no defect whatsoever on the gun, they still are in deep shit due to public perception regardless of reality.

      Yeah, some people are WAY too invested in the whole thing, but I’ve been around long enough that I’ve seen this all before. Gen1 Glock 17s could also fire after being dropped, for example, so they had to come up with the drop-safety fix. Also the whole free floating firing pin thing in SKSs when the old soviet stockpiles started flooding the market in the 90s, despite the issue being known about for decades.

      Shit happens, they’ll (hopefully) end up fixing it if the slide issue is the culprit. Then everybody will forget it all in 6 months. Maybe not the people that literally put bumper stickers on their cars over this whole shit show, but everyone else any ways lol

      Protip: Isopropyl alcohol is great for getting the glue off of your car without damaging the paint (it evaporates faster than acetone) ;)
