As a statistical reality, are revolvers less likely to have an accidental discharge than a semi-automated handgun? I'd concur that revolvers are less likely to provide an accidental discharge.
I base this on personal experience in the army. Folks are taught drop the mag, check the chamber, draw the trigger release a tension on the mainspring. Toss in a few peer pressure, toss in some 'not wanting to act stupid'... display more Depends on where the statistics are acquired.
On my turf I've had many brain-not-engaged/accidental/negligent mishaps with semi-autos than revolvers. 0% revolvers. The negligent mishap was with a CZ 50 DA/SA .32 that was manufactured in old Czechoslovakia. I lived in a secluded place where I needed my gun at instant disposal.
I wanted to make 1 trip with gun and stack of Christmas presents so with a collection of presents and gun at the top kept with my chin in a single arm I proceeded to place a key into the door lock with much fumbling that my brain still left the gun. It slipped and strike the concrete flooring...discharging it.
The gun landed a direct strike on the hammer sending a go upwards through the door after that through the ceiling in the house (never looked for this after the ceiling) IDK understand if it experienced the roof or not really. That incident scares me today after nearly 20 years how things can happen if you have your mind in the incorrect place.
Yes, the pistol was made in the first `50`s so probably no transfer bar or extremely inef***ient one...I put the gun aside forever. So, where you consider your statistic data really depends. I imagine that people in early 20th century would have more accidental revolver discharges.
Moot Q/A.
