My dad told me that I should always leave things alone that I did not fully understand. Some of them are rattlesnakes, red-headed bartenders, chain saws, and semi-automatic weapons. I, now, understand semi-automatic weapons--they will not discharge if one keeps his/her finger out of the trigger guard.
that's why my criteria includes a frame mounted traditional safety.
I've had my coffee this morning I am alert, I could safely handle a Glock for hours without incident in my current state.
throw in a long hard day, perhaps a fever from the flu and a strong desire to just curl up in bed and sleep ..... I am not so confident I could then handle a Glock without issue.
thats why I cling to the traditional safety lever that the Glock has deleted.
