MVP, you hit it on the head. I have been around 700s for few years and the only reson for slam fires and guns going off when the safty is disengaged is poor maintenance and the "Golden Screwdriver". Teh idiot female that shot her kid admitted that the trigger had been "worked on". Well DUUUUH!!

Divemaster, bet you had not flushed out the sear area for a while had you?

That is the biggest cause of slam fires in the course.
