    you have to consider that cops have pudding for brains and would shoot themselves with the best, safest weapons ever designed, civilians will have much lower accident rates even with guns that have reliability problems like these.

      It’s not really a user error thing, these guns are literally not drop-safe and can fire while secured in a holster without being touched by anyone at all

      They’re just garbage guns
