Dude! That's your "evidence'?? LOL! This is so subjective it's incredible. Loosen the tin foil.
Yep, a grain of salt is not nearly enough for Project Mendacium.

Yep, back today, just took them a couple days in house there. But this has been going on for well over two years, so if there was ever a rash of folks doing it, it's long past. Saw somewhere that SIG stated that only about 20% of owners take advantage of this kind of thing in the first place.
Odds of a drop fire seem quite remote, but since I've seldom been near the middle of a bell curve in most anything in life, thought I'd better finally go ahead and get it done.
Meant to add, they make much of signature required on the return, but FedEx simply dumped it at my door, in an apt complex no less.

I can certainly remember back during even the height of the first wave of this, when refrigeration trucks were lined up outside various hospitals for the dead and the like, when it was still an infinitesimal percentage of folks who were actually dying from this, like in the .000x range.
Johns Hopkins data shows that now 1 in 500 Americans have died from Covid. Still of course a small percentage, like .2, but then that small statistical hiccup equals over 660,000 of us.

maybe it's based on apparently true reports that with just the right combination of height and angle of impact, they could fire when dropped

Empire needs a mass firing. All they accomplish is their own personal wealth. Maybe if you start with a bunch of first term folks, they will accomplish a little of the peoples' work.
Often said, but the impediment to that is also long standing, ie, "legislators suck, except for mine."

Can you confirm this data is accurate? If so, it reaffirms what I've thought all along. I've been looking for similar data and couldn't find it.
I'd give it little credence. That "info" is 6 months old for one thing. The other thing is that site is one of a bunch registered all about the same time, most if not all of which never went live. Looks to me like an attempt to hawk "health" related products that never got off the ground.
Personal registration info hidden, but since most of the content is in Spanish, well, whatever...

Phil can argue better than most folks.
Everybody has a valid "argument". But that doesn't change the fact that hospitals pre-vaccine were overrun with Covid patients who all of a sudden couldn't breathe so well and etc. How many folks with other ailments who croaked simply due to the previous norms for care being impaired we'll never know.
The fact that it's happening again in the US, where anyone can get the ouchie on a moment's notice, just reinforces my glass half empty view of the species, or at least the Murican subspecies in this case.
Hell, at least half the world can't even get the vax at all.

Not One Second After and that series, but there's a brand new book out about solar flare apocalypse set right here in Tennessee by a local author.
I wagered 2.99 for the Kindle version. Which usually means I won't read it till I'm stuck out of town somewhere for a day or three, but eventually. Thanks.

Great minds...
I've pocket carried my Kahr PM9 for at least a decade now, 6+1 with 6 more in another pocket. Probably plenty. But I never had quite the same secure feeling of my first 3 years or so with an XD subbie carried IWB.
So got by Harvey's the other day, first time in well over a year, and surprisingly they had just gotten some Hellcats. Compared to the PM it is .5" longer, all other dimensions same. No brainer, jumped on it. Soon as my Alabama pocket holster comes in, I'll be doing 11+1 plus whatever spare I decide on (Springfield is making a 15 rounder now, so that might be an option).
Also, though the Kahr is rather unique trigger which I don't hate, I do prefer the exact release point and short reset of the Hellcat.
I do wish they had named it something a bit less bellicose sounding just for the PR of carrying in general, but whatever.
- OS
Just a followup, been toting the Hellcat in the Alabama Holster for a few weeks now, love it. Little things make a big diff with pocket carry, and with the extra rounds, it first felt rather heavy compared to the Kahr, but that feeling went away purt quick. And the pinky extension added an unacceptable degree of difficulty for quick deployment (so did same for the Kahr), so using with 11 round flush mag, with another one in another pocket.
This thing really shoots like a bigger heater too. Snap/recoil not objectionable at all. The HC's trigger release/reset is great, much more conducive to accuracy than the Kahr's trigger, which while smooth, even with lots of practice you just could never feel exactly when the thing was gonna go bang, and it has a very long essentially zero-tactile reset.

SARS-2-CoV (COVID-19)
in Survival and Preparedness
Posted · Edited by Oh Shoot
TN deaths for each week attributed to Covid by the TN Dept of Health. Not a running total (1160 so far this month).
Besides the average daily death rate I post for each month, I've kept the weekly totals since last Dec also -- both are stats not found elsewhere at a glance that I was originally curious about.
