WTF is it with all the Glock paranoia on this friggin site? Don't trust yourselves with a weapon? A Glock trigger is pretty hard to pull and has a long travel. Keeping yer booger hook off the bang switch and making sure the fool thing is unloaded before you clean it goes a helluva long way.
No weapon safety system can overcome human stupidity. Which is apparently rampant even with so-called "experts". Went off while attempting to field strip? Sounds like some dipstick "expert" isn't that much of an "expert" after all. /rant d:^)

I wouldn't rely on that. Especially not compared to a double-action pull. It's possible to get one which has a lighter trigger (police usually specify heavy).

Usually the Glock AD I hear tell about are finger-traps. Holstering in condition one is a common and reasonable (whereas disassembly in condition one is surely not). In the AD scenarios the trigger finger normally kept up and pointed straight is forced into the trigger guard (by a protruding edge or something) as the Glock descends into the holster . The momentum of the piece comes to bear on the trapped finger via the trigger. BAM!

BTW I have 20 Glock 17 mags because I got tired of reloading at the range.

I don’t see glock paranoia at all. I see people talking about how inferior they are and that there are far better choices to which I’d agree. I have extensive firearm use in all types, and I strongly dislike glocks for several reasons, the lack of manual safety not even high on the list.

I would never recommend anyone buying one. If one wants a good reliable pistol, I would recommend a kimber .45 though.
