“DAO automatic pistols are as safe as modern revolvers. Granted the 19th century revolvers were carried with the hammer on an empty cylinder. That was necessary because the gun could fire if dropped and landed on it’s hammer.”

Gee, then it must have been a car backfire I heard in this century when I dropped my semi-auto and it discharged. And that can happen even with a safety on.

You are incredibly ignorant about firearms.
