Prayers. But how could it discharge like that? That shouldn’t be possible.

Springfield P9 does not have a firing pin block, so not a drop safe firearm.

The Springfield P9 in .45 is an early EAA Witness .45. The early Witness 9mm and .45s were voluntarily recalled due to a defective firing pin that would allow the firing pin safety to be installed in a position that rendered it invisibly inoperable, which is my guess as to what happened here. The other thing that would happen is that the firing pin would get stuck forward to varying degrees, leading to slamfires, runaways and (unsurprisingly) drop discharges.

I don’t know too much about the P9, but I think it has a pretty light trigger and does not have a grip safety like a 1911.
