....BTW Glocks do have a trigger safety. Have fun trying to fire one without (dis)engaging it.....
You are correct...but in all due respect, unlike a gun which has a real safety, who's to say what it is that might press against the trigger and cause the gun to fire?...a jacket string, seat belt, worn or improper holster, a shirt tail?...perhaps even if it gets brushed by a stray twig while moving about in the bush?...all of which are known to have happened...so who knows?...
Plus, I've read of cases which involved nervous cops unintentionally shooting suspects simply because they didn't realize at the time that their finger was on the trigger, or that they were exerting pressure on the trigger...so then there's that.
Point is, having a real safety would have prevented every one of those scenarios...simply because a gun with a real safety doesn't care what presses the trigger, or how hard it gets pressed, because when it's engaged, the trigger can no longer cause the gun to fire, dot period...
...And that to me, is the whole point of having a safety.
On the other hand, I'm just a dumb ole country boy, so what do I know? :lol: :lol: :lol: .
