The link has officer D's account of the incident. Pretty eye-opening, I must say. Not sure how the stories we heard were so far from this. shane, wat up with that Sig baw? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ay-shot-dead-Michael-Brown.html#ixzz3K5lYCSf3
This is an eye opening experience in terms of understanding how the legal system does or should view eye witnesses. I have said repeatedly that I am not in favor of death penalty decisions based solely or primarily on an eye witness account. 10 people can see the same event and describe in 10 different ways.
I agree but it's hard for people to downplay an account from someone who "saw" it. Forensic science is WAY more telling than eye witnesses.
For what you pay for a Sig it shouldn't misfire. I have a Glock 23 .40 caliber and it has never misfired. Fortunately I have never had to put that to the ultimate life and death test. Before I bought it I had seen a review in Guns & Ammo where a Glock was fired over 17,000 times without ever being cleaned and not a single misfire.
The only time I have had repeated misfires like that with my PPK was using some old ammo that was badly tarnished. I think their primers were squirrelly. I tossed them and never had another problem. But you'd think that police officers are furnished with good ammo and use it frequently at the range.
I don't suggest trying it at home, but if you push most semi-autos, including the Sig's barrel back with pressure, the double action will not fire. Simple solution for the gun holder is to pull it back a little and re-pull the trigger. Mike Brown was a big dude however and could apply plenty of pressure if he had a good grip. Proud P220 owner!
