...The NYPD authorized three guns, the Glock 19, S&W 5946, and SIG 226. At the time I retired, NOT ONE ND was with the SIG or S&W, both hammer fired. EVERY ONE of them was ith a Glock.
My earlier, light-hearted comment that included kbm6893's post was not meant to disagree with him. I am a firm believer in his first point (quoted), and while I have no knowledge of the second, it does not surprise. When I can get around to it, my un-safetied M&Ps will someday be replaced by similar models with safeties - or safeties installed, if that is possible. It's just a matter of time.
