  | very good point. But with the gun pointed up, it's harder to pull the trigger since the gun is basiclly hanging on his finger by the trigger guard and just barely supported on the back side by his thumb. I think it would take a lot more pressure to discharge. BUT accidents do happen, equipment malfunctions, and according to the Brady's, guns jump up and shoot by themselves...

The weight of the pistol's frame has EVERYTHING to do with performing well in this test. It is simple physics.

 Glock 17 : 22.04 oz w/NO mag. (performed poorly) Springfield XD : 28 oz w/EMPTY mag. (performed well) I'd say an empty Glock mag weighs a good 6 oz. making the two very comparable at around 28/29 ozs.. Care to "splain" that??

But I do find it interesting that the XD did function better and is very close in weight to the Glock so your point is not lost on me.
