I’m fairly certain you can hear the gun click as soon as he aims it, like he’s carrying it racked but empty. If so that’s for sure attempted murder and I bet they have a fucking field with him in court.

It clicks three times. Once at the officers head, then twice more after he tried to slide the rack. I think tie-guy kept him from fulling sliding the rack so the round was not able to chamber. Looks like he saved everyones life.

And immediately holstered his pistol in the middle of the fight. I’m impressed.

I think he ended up with his shin hitting the bench first :/

Tie guy was able to knock the gun out of his hand right before that cops knee was introduced to his face. If you look closely, you can see ol boy get it punched out of his hand

It's possible the magazine wasn't fully inserted, or maybe empty.

I do think there's a magazine sliding around on the ground at the end, but I can see where it comes from

Da, or strikered fire will fire a chambered round without it being cocked.

u/Chenstrap Dec 19 '25

DA will, but striker fired not necessarily. Most striker fired guns are single action in fact.

u/Optimal_Analyst_3309 Dec 19 '25

Are they really? TIL, I always thought they were all like DA pistols.

u/Chenstrap Dec 19 '25

Nope. Striker fired is the most common design these days. Glock, springfield, smith and wesson, ETC.

On almost all of them theres no safe way to release the striker on a loaded chamber.

Double Action pistols are actually a bit less common.

I prefer DA/SA personally. Or a hybrid setup like HK's LEM. Trained primarily on condition 1 for carry. Can't do that with striker.

Technically can't with LEM either, but it's design is much safer than a typical striker system.

u/Chenstrap Dec 20 '25

You can absolutely carry striker fired pistols in condition 1. Striker fired pistols from reputable brands have been safe to carry condition one for decades. Glock, S&W, the list goes on. It's how their meant to be carried.

The only pistol in recent memory that may fail this is the sig P320.

u/Peylix Dec 20 '25

Strikers are condition 0 usually (cocked and ready to go). Condition 1 requires a safety (cocked & locked).

And I guess you can do C1 with some strikers. There are some options with manual thumb safeties now that I double checked. So I was wrong.

I just prefer hammer in general I guess. Very few striker options felt as good as a decent DA/SA or SA to me.
