A 2011, despite the name, isn’t really a modern firearm. It’s essentially a 9mm version of a 115 year-old design and too many boutique race gun companies cut corners for guns that aren’t designed to anything but range queens.
As popular and fun as the 1911 is at the range, it has no place as a modern defensive firearm, and people who carry It are idiots. They’re super heavy, low capacity, jam, rust, have a trigger pull so short and light they can’t be safely handled while cocked without engaging a safety that’s just a hammer block (leaving the pin floating), are a pain to clean, and more.

It was one example. My point is, it happens. This is literally a response to you initially pointing it out that it happens in the “modern” P320, and I’m sure you’ve got an unnecessarily long and complicated opinion about each make and model. 👍
The P320 still requires the trigger to be pulled to remove the stop that prevents the firing pin from touching the primer.
The problem with the 320, the Taurus G1, most 911s, and others is the trigger being pulled. It’s why most of the industry has adopted trigger safeties like the one pictured that don’t allow the trigger to move without something inside the trigger guard releasing the trigger.
