Are you certain that you didn't get your butter fingers on the hammer when you dropped it?

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
I have shot these guns for years. My gut tells me that inertia did not cock the hammer. Neither did it move the slide back far enough to cock the hammer.
I see the Elite LTT comes with a standard decocker. If you want the decocker/safety you can add that at the time of your order. I guess this incident would be an argument for the decocker/safety. On my commercial M9 I have the safety on and shoot it that way at the range when drawn from the holster.
As stated, the firing pin safety stops the forward motion of the firing pin. Not saying this didn't happen.....just looks like a "perfect storm" of events took place to give the results you described.
