Feel sorry for the holster manufacture who failed to install a tactile device warning that the holster has been missed. All that and more, presented to a jury, half of whom feel that's what you get for playing with guns.
    It wasn’t the holsters fault. The guy missed the holster.

    And there was no warning built in to warn of that. Basis for a suit in today's world.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    I believe you, but there's about 4 straight hours of CBT that repeats the process.

    So it was the gun's fault? What did I miss? I've been shooting CZ pistols for almost thirty years, and they work as designed unless overly modded and are safe or safer than any other.

    Agreed. The Shadow 2 is probably one of the finest pistols I’ve ever shot and the 75 platform is probably one of the best guns ever made.

    Never got to shoot one, but finest finery ever handled for damn sure. Especially that parrot one.

    I think the point is that without the firing pin block, and carrying with hammer on quarter cock above a live round there is potential for an accidental discharge. If you define dropping a loaded gun and it fires as negligent, then to each his own. But I define any unmodified firearm going off without a trigger pull as accidental, not negligent.
