I worked for a shop that built a couple of hundred 5" and compguns based on the Series-80 system. The Series-80 guns all left the shop with the series-80gear, and had triggers appropriate for the task (competition or defensive use).

The ONLY time I ever saw an issue was when someone would attempt to "improve' on their trigger job by reducing the overtravel adjustment in the trigger, which would cause the S-80 plunger to get beat up.

I also knew a dedicated carrier who dropped his Series 70 gun on concrete in an encounter, causing a discharge when the gun landed on the muzzle. Kinda made me think.
