The Remington 700 had an issue, identified by a Remington engineer, where if the trigger got jostled while the safety was engaged, the striker could release when the safety was disengaged.

The 1911, never heard of such.

I have heard of sears wearing out, or more likely being shade-tree gunsmithed a hair too much.
