According to the attached news story, this OH Officer’s Glock allegedly accidentally discharged because the pin which secures the tab safety into the trigger accidentally walked out, causing the pin to catch the edge of his holster.
Personally, I’m not buying it. It’s a blind pin and even if it walked, it appears to be too short to cause the issue described.
Thoughts ?
If that trigger safety pin did walk and cause this, I'd first wonder if it was one of the many aftermarket triggers out there. Getting the truth about unintentional/negligent firearms discharges is very difficult and I'd guess this one won't be an exception.

In not buying it...

I’m also not buying it. I’ve never heard of one of those pins walking out.

Isn't there a story about a Zev trigger safety pin walking out and catching on a holster causing an ND?
One of our sergeants at the range measured everything and determined the pin couldn't protrude past the trigger guard if everything is OEM.
That, IMO, leaves two options. Non-OEM parts or shenanigans.
Thought of a third. Kydex holster with too much protrusion into the trigger area.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I don’t believe the department’s explanation, but maybe the officer will be safer from now on.

If youve ever removed the shoe from a Glock trigger, you will understand how horrendously unlikely this is.
Just to clarify, the article isn’t saying the pin which holds the shoe to the trigger bar, but rather the blind pin which hold the tab safety in the shoe.Originally Posted by Sigfan26
