Yeah, it's a possibility to be sure. This is another reason I'll be a hammer fired guy my entire life. If you're in a position where panic/excitement/whatever makes you forget your trigger discipline at least a half cocked hammer fired pistol gives you a more forgiving trigger. It's the exact reason my father had my mom send him a Smith and Wesson Model 39 to carry (against regulations btw) after he almost shot a kid while tunnel crawling. All he saw were eyes in the darkness and the 1911 being single action almost cost that kid his life and my dad a lifetime of horrible memories.
