#1 This will happen to all of us . I emptied a S&W tiped it up pushed the ejector counted the five in hand closed the cylinder and promtly shot my headboard .
#2 Its only a mechanical device and as safe as the guy behind it . My grandfather never bought anything of second rate His model 70 was ad'ed in camp when he moved the saftey after a spill with his horse .
#3 Mauser safties aren't infallable either.
Getsme going every time . taking remote learning course in gunsmithing ,that instructer advises to roughly subject the gun to all manor of abuse including a rubber mallet to action bolt trigger gard then stricking the but on the floor using a 2ft drop more if fitted with a recoil pad. Also using a two finger max squeeze with safty on then push safty off and repeat all above . For any trigger or safty repair or adjustment .

Well at least Ruger stamps just about all of the warning messages from their owners manual on the barrel of their guns. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing more and not less of this kind of crap from manufacturers in the future.

I'm getting anxious myself to see these pictures.

NO body is responsible fer nuthin' these days! Everything is always somebody else's fault!

"NO body is responsible fer nuthin' these days! Everything is always somebody else's fault!"

That sure is the truth. About 15 years ago my son was a mechanic for a large dealer in lawn equipment. He showed me a lawsuit where a guy tied down the safety brake on a lawn mower, upped the throttle, picked up the machine by hand and was using it to trim his hedge. Not surprisingly, he lost all his fingers: Then hesued the maker of the mower.

Had a friend of mine adj his trigger on his Savage 22-250 so low that it would go off by it's self... I told him it was to light and he just said that he would walk around with it unloadedI stopped ground hog hunting with him that summer...

I think at some point people need to spend the 25$ and let a good gun smith do your trigger

Not sure, but you may have just solved the whole JFK conspiracy with the whole "magic bullet" thing.

You've got to be kidding me!

Some people in this world that are dumb enough to bringthat into a lawsuit need to be struck by lightning to improve their thinking.

Trial lawyers are the enemy of us all.

There was a guy in my town where I grew up that was picking corn on his cousin's farm. The combine jammed, he dismounted and proceded to unjam the combine and lost two legs and an arm in the process. He sued John Deere and got an award (I hate using this term in this context- 'award' is typically something earned[:@])close to $10million despite the fact that safeties and guards that might have prevented loss of limbs had been previously removed by his cousin and the fact that he didn't really have any experience or training with the machinery.[:'(]

And after all of this talk about sueing we get upset when guns get redesigned to be "safer" like Ruger MK3 handgun.
Everyone complains about the heavy trigger pull weights but when something like this happens I almost understand why the gunmakers are afraid to make a good, adjustable trigger.
Make it Idiot proof and they build a better idiot!
