It's a new day, so I just remembered something.....

Someone, here from the forum I believe, dropped their Sig on concrete so hard it bent the hammer, but it didn't go off. He had to replace the hammer.

I've dropped mine, luckily on carpet, but still a distance of around 4 feet. Made me go , then , then for allowing that to happen. Oh yeah, it didn't go off.

Do you recall where did you read this? Having that information readily available would be very helpful (I'd personally love to read more about this.)

No, I wish I could. All I can remember is that I read that there's a block in the way to the firing pin when the trigger is not pulled. I think there was 2 other safeties, but I can't recall.

But it was obviously quite convincing!

I know the feeling of being aphrensive of having one in the chamber. Why don't you study in detail how it is that your gun CAN'T just go off by itself. That's what I did. I now carry my P239 with one in the chamber, with a horizontal shoulder holster to boot. Of course that's only during business hours under a dress shirt. Who knows where that muzzle is pointing at, or who it's pointing at, during the day. But that trigger is under heavy protection under very heavy leather, and I KNOW it won't just go off by itself. I looked into why it could not go off by itself, and that finally gave me the confidence to carry it that way. Otherwise, yes, it's just a chunk of steel.
