Well, after reading this, I decided to take my new G-27 and toss it down the stairs onto the hard concrete floor below.
Result: After 100 tosses, the gun refused to go off. Resale value, however, may be down somewhat.

What a bunch of hogwash. It would be darn near impossible for the firing pin to strike a bullet primer without having the trigger pulled back. I confess that I couldn't even read the whole article. Probably published by S&W who seems to have lost a ton of sales of late.
