The Glock Manual Safety

Glock Manual Safety adds another level of safety to your Glock. The safety, similar to a Colt 1911, is available for all Glock models. The Glock Manual Safety can help avoid tragic accidents.

I have a Sig P-365 with a manual safety. A couple of reasons: First, a close friend of hour was shot 11 times in a break-in at their winter home in Phoenix. All shots missed bones and vital organs, thank the Lord! He was even able to fly back to WA state the next day! His mother was killed but his wife was here in WA state. This happened just last week! It brought home the fact that it can happen anytime to any body. With our dog, we are pretty sure that we would have enough warning to rack a round. My wife has a Glock 43 w/o a safety and I have a SA XDM in 45 acp (chambers are loaded on both).

Back to the original posting: We both have the Sig P-365 for EDC: both with rounds chambered. For me, I'm more comfortable with a safety since I learned/trained on 1911s. She's just more comfortable with a safety. She's practiced enough that releasing the safety is second nature.

Previously, she carried another G-43 and I carried a Glock G-27 converted to 357 Sig. All are loaded with the premium ammo that we each shoot the best.

I have one of the early SCCY SPX-1 9mm pistols. Think what you will, I like it. It is probably the safest semiauto ever made regarding unintentional discharge prevention. It is impossible for it to fire if dropped, it has a heavy and long DA trigger pull and hammer (not a striker), and also a positive external thumb-operated safety that completely disconnects the trigger when applied.

No, I can't imagine myself owning a Glock with a manual safety (let alone spending extra for one), and I actually quite like Glocks, for what they are. My 4th gen G34 is a particularly sweet shooter. Carried an early-production 19 at times for work years ago.

I like manual safeties on guns designed for them; on a Glock its a solution in search of a problem to me - but that's my .02 cents.

I have thumb safeties on both my P365 and my P320. I'm a fan.
