[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4142800, member: 45773"] You obviously don't understand the mechanics of how the Glock action works, my friend. It's not single action. And you're letting your Fudd show by not trusting others to handle and carry guns you don't like and don't understand. When you thumb down the safety on a single action like a 1911 and you're gripping the gun so the grip safety is deactivated, the gun is ready to fire with just about 5 or so pounds of pressure on average. If you stop pressing the trigger on that gun it won't fire but it's not safe until you remove your finger from the trigger and thumb the safety up. When you begin to pull the longer, more deliberate trigger on a Glock you're overcoming 3 safeties in sequence: First is the trigger safety, second is the firing pin block safety and the third is the drop safety. If you pull that trigger all the way to the point of any more rearward travel would make the gun fire, but decide to not fire, when you release pressure from the trigger all of those safeties are reactivated in sequence rendering the gun mechanically safe. It's not a safety issue you have. It's a training issue you have. [/QUOTE]
