It can happen if the pistol was out of battery pushed the case hard enough against the slide it could happen.
I never let me say it again I never rely solely on a safety on any type of gun to many people get shot with guns that are on safe or empty. I carry a 1911a 45 have for many years but I rely on safe handling not the safetys.

How about a Type 94 8x22mm Nambu pistol he got from his grandfather as a battlefield war trophy. The Nambu had a long external sear bar that could cause the pistol to fire if the bar was pushed when the safety was OFF and a round cambered — before the trigger was pulled! It was known as the “suicide” pistol for a reason.
