Actually the new generation 5 is to my liking as it comes. No finger bumps, lead bullet friendly, ready to rock!

Glock may just be the first major gun company to outlive the desire-ability of its own design. Still looks and carries like a brick to me.
-And despite the ad campaign, "generation" is applicable to a living, procreating thing. "Revision" is the engineering term for a design change. Irks me a bit.
And I have NEVER understood the logic of putting a gun's only manual safety right on the trigger. :shock: :roll:
Nonsense. The manual safety on any handgun is flipped off as you draw and does not delay the first shot at all. If that cop had to "fumble" the manual safety, there would have been something very lacking in his training or practice. Anyone who carries a 1911 would laugh at that comment.CoyoteHunter_ said:If the policeman had to fumble with a manual safety he would be dead instead of the man with the bat.

Yeah, training and practice...that's what it comes down to.
And beings how you mentioned "1911"...now that one has a safety, meaning that it blocks both the sear and the hammer, and some of 'em have a firing pin block to boot.
By contrast, all that "thingy" on the Glock trigger does is prevent the trigger from moving due to inertia, meaning that anything which presses the trigger can/will fire the gun...anything...twigs in the bush, a bump against your arm, a seatbelt latch, even the holster, heck who knows?...some folks has shot their own self while drawing or re-holstering in the heat of the moment. Can't do that with a 1911 (or any gun with a real safety) no matter how hard you pull the trigger.
Not saying that Glocks ain't good guns because they certainly are. To call it's trigger-thingy a safety though...no, that's way too much of a stretch.
