It's not as simple as you say, but I will attempt to enlighten you.
First for my part the gun is CCW that is often carried in right front pocket where it would be easy in a emergency to accidentally have the 3.5 lb trigger snagged or pulled. The gun is also a car gun and if not being carried is in a cubby box ender front edge of the Benz and could be accidentally pulled when trying to get it out.
Also all my life I have always had 1911's or other auto's and manual safety is heavy ingrained or trained after 50 plus years and I don't really feel safe w/o the safety. If G-29 had a 10 or 12 lb long throw like my 6 revolvers it would not need the manual for a pocket gun, but it don't and I am trained to have one.
Well that about covers it and hope you have understood where I am coming from. But just remember you are human and sometimes we have lapse of training and that's why every once in a while a LEO trained on Glock will either shoot self or send a round down range by accident when stumbling or the excitement of the moment.
Any more questions?
PS: I was not offended and don't mean to offend but often do when writing. However I am sure if you're not offended someone here will be because this is a S&W forum and I am what some would say praising a Glock. I only own one Glock a G-29 and have put off several years on buying the G-20 waiting for a M&P 10mm, but have about given up and thinking about buying the G-20 this spring or summer.
