Are there many handguns that can't be decocked without a trigger pull? (Similar to how the AR-15 operates) I'm not understanding these trigger pulls on unloaded handguns.

One.
A friend hands me his .308 that had "custom work".
He had painted the whole gun, bolt too. It was not easy to cycle and kept sticking.
I couldn't shut the bolt, so *negligently* I propped it up for more leverage and gave her a what for.
Driving the bolt home activated his super custom low speed high drag 1 lbs trigger.
I sent a .308 at a 45 degree angle into orbit. The lesson?

Have not had a negligent discharge as of yet. Thank God!The laws that forbid the carrying of arms or laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

closest I would say I've ever came to one was a few years ago shooting my dad's old high standard duramatic .22, gun doesn't lock back on the last round so when the dry shot came I dropped the mag and racked the slide a couple of times without looking put on safe and walked back to the truck to reload when I got back and looked I realized it didn't eject and grab the last round that failed and when I took safe off and pointed down range... bang damn thing worked when I didn't even think it was loaded didn't sit well with me at all and even tho I was safe and handled properly it was a wake up call to always rack and look in chamber when done not just rack no matter how many times you do it.. totally my fault and since then I always make sure everything is cleared before done shooting... and I've never had anything chambered in the house just a precaution I always take my big dog and cool demeanor always gave me reassurance that If something happened in house id be quick to load and be at the ready when needed magazines are always filled and guns are always In reach tho.Comment

I've had a slam fire, but I had it pointed in a safe direction so put a 12ga target load into the grass down range."Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while the bad people will find a way around the laws"-PlatoComment
