It interests me.

Yes, finally. This is exactly the kind of case I'm looking for. Now I can dig into the details of the court documents.

Awesome to bring up that they are weirdo space vampires. That's part of the flavor that sometimes gets pushed back a bit. I think the pale is a good idea on paper, but it does look a little unfinished at a glance. I think a super watered down glaze of a fleshtone just to tint, and then painting the hair would help. Maybe give the sergeant the tiniest drip of blood out of his mouth for more vampire flavor.

My interpretation of the passage was that, upon racking the slide, you’d have a trigger pull weight between the two.

Your interpretation is simultaneously correct. If you insert a magazine on a closed Glock and pull the trigger nothing will happen. You need to rack it once to get the first round into the chamber. When you fire that racked round, you get the intermediate trigger pull- but also any other round you fire has the exact same pull.

I think the way it was explained above is bringing in other types of triggers as a comparison (DA/SA triggers), and if you don't know anything about them, you just end up more lost trying to read it out.

That is just one of the things that seems very off to me about the claim.

my guess is that it happens sometimes

I just want to see one case.

Maybe someone on Lemmy has found one.

And so, my question.

I've seen the claim about Target online for years now, sometimes even with people in comments saying they know someone (or know someone who knows someone) that this happened to, but even after all this time no easily found court case. Nobody who ever says they have first hand knowledge ever comes back to say what case it is. It seems like this would be a slamdunk piece of content for one of the various YouTube channels that covers legal drama, but I haven't seen it. None of the news articles covering Target's Judge Dredd tier stoploss ever have an update linking to a case. I just want to see it.

As infamous as Target's stoploss is, I figured people more plugged in would already know where to look.

semiautomatic pistol full auto with a fucking shoestring.

The shoestring machinegun that got the ATF letter was a Mini-14 (which importantly had an exposed reciprocating charging handle) if I recall correctly, and it was still very janky. I'm trying to figure out the engineering of the same concept with a Glock with just a string and I am having some trouble.

Just the trigger. A safety in the "handle" would be a grip safety, which some guns have but not Glocks (unless it is some obscure small run model, but certainly none of the common ones). It looks like an extra panel on the back of the grip which is squeezed into the grip when held.

The other commenter is saying the same thing, just in perhaps a less clear way. I think they are saying the Glock's trigger weight is between what you would expect of a heavy double action and a light single action. The Glock is a consistent weight every time. The design is often referred to as "safe action striker" or often informally just as "striker" fired. The design lacks a large and heavy hammer that needs to be actuated. Many designs after Glocks were introduced have copied this idea, making it a common alternative design to hammer fired.
