“Glock has 3 safeties:”
Is this the same Glock that NYPD and Glock had so many accidental discharges with?
All of which turned out to be idiots holstering or doing other tasks with their finger on the trigger.
The first New York trigger for Glocks was 7 pounds. But even that wasn’t enough to keep NY cops from shooting themselves, so they came out with a second one, which is a staggering 10 pounds.
Please note that NY also led the nation in accidental discharges when all they had were *revolvers*, so this is a departmental issue, rather than an equipment issue. NYPD just won’t train its officers properly.
This may be of interest to you.

From the article:
"A Tennessee Highway Patrolman accidentally shot himself in the leg when he re-holstered his gun following a foot chase. He's in stable condition... The THP issues Glocks, so I'm 99% that's what he was carrying."
"Of course, I can't be sure the installation of a NY Trigger would have made any difference in the foregoing incident. However, in my informal tracking, departments with NY triggers installed on their Glocks consistently experience fewer accidents than do those with standard triggers. If you own and carry any Glock pistol for serious purposes, it is my recommendation that you install a NY Trigger without delay!"
