Had a question about P380s specifically and Kahrs in general. Reputedly the little finger in the Glock trigger is partially to avoid a discharge if the trigger catches on something, but mostly to avoid a discharge if the gun is dropped muzzle up. The thinking is that inertia will carry the trigger to the rear, firing the gun.
Which led me to wonder if the Kahr, so Glock-like in many regards, has any such problem.
I realize that there is a firing pin block to stop the firing pin from flinging forward if dropped muzzle down.
What I'm wondering about is, what happens if a Kahr is dropped from a fair height and lands muzzle up. Would there be enough mass in the steel trigger for its inertia to fire the gun?
Thoughts?
