Are Glocks safe?

[Darkenfast]

I don't think Glocks are safe unless you're carrying with some kind of trigger cover. That safety thingy on the trigger is just a gimmick. If you can't figure out how to use a safety you shouldn't be carrying a gun.

I also don't find Glocks any more reliable than other similar pistols.

The trigger safety is NOT a gimmick. It was put there because, if the pistol was dropped from a certain height, and landed at just the right angle, there was enough inertia in the trigger components to sometimes fire the gun if there was a round chambered. That safety was one of the elements that got Glock the Austrian contract.
