Didn't know how to word this better in the topic line b/c of the space...but this is a question on the safety of the M&P.
I'm curious to how the DAO pistol works (first one I've owned...coming from the 1911 family). There isn't a "hammer" like other pistols, so I'm guessing the fire pin is the only thing that comes back and then goes forward? If so, could you drop the pistol juuuust right and have it go off?
Since it is a Double Action pistol, I imagine it would be kind of hard to accidentally pull the trigger to get it to have an accidental discharge, so the only way I can think of for this to go "boom" without wanting it to go "boom" would be the above scenario.
Just curious....I do own a M&P40, just was wondering about this.
Thanks.
