Second, 90% of SA Pistols are unsafe. Why? Because they lack a real safety, and an indicator of a round in the chamber.

So this means that 100% of all revolvers are also unsafe? Every weapon is safe if you as long as you keep your fingers and any other object off the trigger.

In a life or death, Oh sh!t situation you may not have time to rack and fire.

No revolvers are not as unsafe, due to several factors

1) mental - given that the pistol revolves, people don’t tend to “count” on a round not being in the action.

2) Most revolvers have a fairly high trigger pull

3) The added width of the revolver means there is a bit easier grab from cover around the grip, and the grip/trigger combo tends to be more ergonomic

I run into glock fanactics all the time.

They are fine for open carry, but concealed is *crazy*.

There is a BIG difference between open and concealed. Concealed you can’t gaurantee your draw motion/grab. Which means grip safeties/trigger safeties are not operating as real safeties anymore.

Not to mention the folks who carried glock for years 24x365 who manage to shoot themselves in a moment of brain fart. I believe there is a wealth of youtube material proving that.
