Well, I believe that ND's will occur with any design - you can't remove the human from the equation.
It seems like at least one LEO per year will shoot themselves during or after qualifications. This is in part due to the design, which requires that the trigger be pulled to field-strip the gun. This is common among striker-fired designs. The LEO's didn't eject their magazines and clear their chamber. I suspect there are many more instances where nobody was hit, so no story made the news.
Now I do believe that in these instances, the operator is totally at fault. However, you can always assume that somebody will have a brain fart along the way, so the accidents are somewhat predictable.
