And I just saw ANOTHER negligent discharge at our club match on Tuesday night.

Experienced shooter, right handed, attempting to move from left to right while reloading a 1911 pattern auto pistol. The gun was out of battery/at slidelock. He clearly had his finger on the trigger, and when he slammed home the magazine he cranked a round into the backstop.

Fortunately, the muzzle was pointed safely down range.
