🙄

It was one example. My point is, it happens. This is literally a response to you initially pointing it out that it happens in the "modern" P320, and I'm sure you've got an unnecessarily long and complicated opinion about each make and model. 👍

The P320 still requires the trigger to be pulled to remove the stop that prevents the firing pin from touching the primer.

The problem with the 320, the Taurus G1, most 911s, and others is the trigger being pulled. It's why most of the industry has adopted trigger safeties like the one pictured that don't allow the trigger to move without something inside the trigger guard releasing the trigger.
