This kept overhead down so they could offer them to departments for cheaper price per unit. Cheaper thinly made sears slipping and allowing firing pin to drop was one issue. A second was one of the most widely used LE holsters, Safariland, had an issue where the rear of the holster near the trigger guard had a large (3/4” or better) gap. Things could and did get in that gap and one way or another the trigger was manipulated and caused the gun to fire. The cheaper guts on LE guns is main cause of issue, hence why this hasn’t been a rampant issue with civilian owned guns…or the military issued ones.</blockquote>
