at least i found out it was defective this way, loaded it, was about to decock it and set it into it's holster and i flip the safety up to decock and Bang! luckily i had it pointed in a safe direction, still poked a hole trough the wall, a sobering experience. i know it malfed because the safety was on and it did not cycle a round
>malfunction
>ND
It's one or the other
Let me guess, it's a .380?

well it went off because of the decocker sear is apparently bad, not that i really want to fuck with it right now and check and see
>>33647717
no it's a Bulgarian 9x18 hammer and sear had some wear but i thought nothing of it
>>33647742
Were you pointing the muzzle skyward when you decocked it?
>>33647799
no into the ground, i live in a 1 story house no it was a pretty safe place to have it

Could be the sear then, Maks can ND when decocked with the muzzle pointing skyward because the firing pin will hang out enough to be hit by the hammer. This is a more common issue with .380 maks because 9x18 is typically Russian-made and thus has harder primers.
I just had a ND happen a few hours ago. I just bought snap caps and was messing around with them. I stupidly had live rounds on the same table. I take out the snap caps from the mag and put in the live rounds so I can put the gun up. Like I had been mindlessly doing for the past hour, I racked the slide and pulled the trigger. The round went through my hoodie on the chair, through the open air of the kitchen and dining room, only hitting the window and blinds. It went low into the bushes and might have hit the driveway. I immedantly went across the street to the neighbors house to see if they were ok. They were. My neighbor thought it was funny.
The worst thing is, I am usally a saftey nazi. I religously check and double check any gun handed to me. I feel like the biggest idiot on the planet.

damn, well at least i know i'm not the only one, felt like total shit for decocking it with a loaded chamber
>>33650484
That's what you get for using slav shit. Modern guns have hammer catch AND firing pin block.

OP you still in the thread?

You both are fucking idiots.
