Glocks are safe. People? Maybe not so much.

My EDC is a Glock 26. My bride (The One For Whose Happiness I Live) carries one too.

A number of our friends have purchased and now carry Glocks after learning of our preferences and trying ours. I have trained these people in safely carrying, handling and shooting these pistols. Many in our community are pilots. They are accustomed to the practice of training on a specific piece of equipment new to them, even if they are generally familiar with the concept.

I consider the Glock to be an outstanding combat pistol. In my estimation their benefits merit any training necessary to ensure safe carriage, handling and use.

Those same pilots understand the universal applicability of the term 'pilot error', and how to avoid it.
