Stupid people + stupid Glock design = time bomb.

And really the Glock design is brilliant for its intended purpose. It was designed to be a service pistol for the Austrian Army. Soldiers generally carry pistols in a webgear holster full mag, empty chamber. Running the slide upon imminent use.
In that world its a masterpiece. The finish is utterly impervious too the elements. The frame is too. The manual of arms couldn’t be simpler. Its perfect for the Armorer to keep going. It’ll handle very hot loads.

But in the other world of shooters, carried round chambered, Mexican style in your jeans waistband, shoved into a low-end Kydex holster, or a sloppy leather or ill fitting generic nylon cloth holster, you’re asking for trouble in my opinion. Triggers will work as advertised when touched by bad equipment just as with a finger.
