Seen plenty of movies where they say they put their Glock on "safe", but they don't know what they're doing over in Hollyweird.

To be truthful, that's why I got rid of my 19, that and it didn't point naturally for me. But they are darn sure reliable.

Tommy Lee Jones in Fugitive 2 said, "Get yourself a Glock!" Nuf said.

There are plenty of good guns w/ safeties, why not just buy one instead of trying to modify a Glock to avoid Glockkaboom?

Only Glock I recall with any kind of operable lever control was a full-auto version with a selector switch.

I love reading books with the character clicking off the safety of a Glock, or better yet cocking the hammer!

Ten Ring Precision installs a manual safety.

That being said, if you’re not using a proper holster and your gun falls out, leave the gun at home.

Or buy an M&P with a manual safety.

A safety on a Glock is about as necessary as a parachute on a claw hammer.

No such animal outside of prototypes that I’m aware of.

I have a Gen2 Glock 23 with a Cominolli thumb safety. However, I do not consider it a good thumb safety and the gun resides in the safe waiting to be sold. The problem is the safety would not stay engaged while carrying in a holster. I suppose I could have a kydex holder made for it with the safety engaged, but I really don't like the gun or the safety that well anyway. I have since purchased an M&P 2.0 40 to replace the Glock 23, and a 4 inch Shield to replace my Glock 48. The S&W thumb safety is not as good as a 1911 safety, but better than nothing.

Ten Ring Precision will install an after market manual safety on most non Gen 5 Glocks. Glock Pistol Work | Ten Ring Precision

Packing any striker fired pistol without a safety not a great idea when wearing waders, fly vest, carrying flyrod, wading staff...I flyfish plenty, and just pocket my holstered LCP Gen1.

BH Spring Solutions offers a Glock safety about which I know nothing from personal experience. I've seen it on their website and it seems to fit on the back of the pistol (where a hammer might belong).

My only endorsement is that I know and trust the guys at BHSS and have a number of their Hi-Power products.

Glocks made for Australia had a safety in Sam position as the selector switch on Glock 18. Per their request

 

[Boxer9]

Buy a Sig M18. Done.

I love Glocks too, but would never have one with a safety. Buy a good holster and you don't have to worry. Ever.

Got news for you. There is indeed such an animal.

Our Police requested it from Glock on their contract.

Glock Thumb Safety

In regards to the trials Glocks... the 19X is the gun without the safety. I doubt Glock will publicly do any of their pistols with an external safety.

Whenever Glock publicly releases the 47... you’ll have pretty close to the full size of the trials gun; again, without the safety. Unsure if they will be marked DHS, but from what has been said... they will put them out once CBP finishes the move from H&Ks.

Reread what you quoted... especially the publicly part.

You mean for private aquisition then?

I considered an official contract "public" enough. My bad.

Fly fishing and you slip and fall.
Glock gets wedged muzzle up in some rocks.
Kid goes to pick it up, slips and finger hits the trigger.
A thumb safety would be helpful.

Has anyone installed a thumb safety on their G gun?
Military trial gun had one... which one and is it available?

I always carry the M59 or these days mostly the S&Walther PPKs when kids are around.

Please keep the discussion to the install and product quality.

Thx

and no, it's never happened to me.
I find the Glock triggers like a sloppy single action.

The same people who are not comfortable with Glocks should probably stay away from farm equipment, chainsaws, motorcycles, do it yourself electrical projects, and ginsu knives.

One thing worth noting is that if one falls while carrying a Glock and it falls out because the person does not consider gun safety important enough to wear a quality holster, and it bounces around on some rocks and maybe falls in the water before it gets wedged between some rocks, and then the user carelessly picks it up and pulls the trigger as they mishandle the gun, then be advised that after going through all that careless abuse the user can count on the Glock firing because it's that reliable.
