things that trigger your autism

That doesn't mean it's a safety. That means it's retarded. Glocks are all garbage just like the people who invented and use them. The only gun worth having is a Cz. Everything else is pleb tier dogshit.

Take your pseudo "safety" and shove it, putting a safety in the trigger is fucking stupid.

I can only hope you're baiting and don't actually think that's how it works...

When people say "safety" in regards to firearms 99% of the time they're referring to an external manual safety.

You need to accept that there's a difference between the strict industry definition of the term and the colloquial definition.

I don't think I do, since pretty much every major manufacturer is jumping on the striker-fired bandwagon. Hard to just ignore that. I think both types of safety have a place in the world. For some reason, fudds don't. I don't know why.

Plus there's the simple fact that anything that prevents the gun from going bang when it's not supposed to is a safety. Glocks have such devices. Ergo...

How do Glock safeties actually work?
I've never used one personally.

>>28901867
Their website has a good explanation. There's a fitting on the trigger that prevents backwards travel unless intentionally pulled. There's also a firing pin block that does not move out of the way of the firing pin until the trigger is further depressed. After that, further pressure disengages the rear drop safety. The firing pin is also not fully cocked until the trigger's movement cocks and releases it.

tl;dr: three internal safeties are disengaged by the full rearward travel of the trigger.

The really neat part is that the re-engage between shots.

>>28901867
https://us.glock.com/technology/safe-action

>>28901896
so couldn't the trigger still get unintentionally depressed by a holster

>>28901924
It would be pretty tough. It requires a pretty intentional motion and pressure to set it off plus the pull is 5.5 lbs. Plus you could make that argument for any gun. Forget to turn your oh-so-safe manual safety on your 92 or 1911 on and have your hand on the grip and the same thing could hypothetically happen. Lots of people carry Glocks and other striker-fired guns, including me. I've never found holstering to be a concern.

Yeah, not the best source, but this shit isn't really tracked. Have fun finding real accidental death by manufacturer data.

>>28901867
How do Glock safeties actually work?
There isn't one. It's basically very drop safe and that's it. Anything to the contrary is marketing crap.
You cannot stop a loaded Glock from firing if the trigger is pulled.

Proponents love it because it makes it easier to pull and shoot. I don't like it because it makes it easier for ignorants to shoot.

What do you want me to do, link dozens of news articles? It would be anecdotal because I could easily cherry pick. There are no studies showing accidental death by manufacturer. I can't prove shit. That article, however, indicates a situation where a "trained" (probably better than your average asshole) police officer was shot by a three year old. Aint no three year old gonna know to take off safety or pull a double action, but it was able to shoot a Glock!

> But that's wrong.
I'm pretty sure I've shot and disassembled a Glock. The safety is on the trigger, which means when you pull the trigger it goes boom. You cannot set the safety to not allow a trigger pull, so there is no discrete safety. It's extremely drop-safe, I'll give it that, but it is not a safety.

BUT. You can't deny the Glock is easier to fire. That's literally the only advantage to not having a real safety.

> pick one
I only used the word "safety" because it's easier than "safe action system", which is what Glock calls it because if they didn't someone might actually have a real lawsuit against them.

>>28902117
My phrasing wasn't the best.
Better read as: Aint no three year old gonna [know to take off safety] or [pull a double action], but it was able to shoot a Glock!

>>28902128
A 13lb DA is way safer than the ~5.5 of a Glock. DAO is hmm-tier, because you get a heavier trigger all the time, but it's not heavy enough to prevent an accidental pull.
I prefer DA/SA exposed hammer. Safety optional. If safety then cocked and locked, if no safety then hammer down.

Plus, that nub-"safety"-thing on a glock trigger fucks up my finger after 4-5 mags. I'll take SA/DA and the complexity therein, thank you.

>>28901834
To be fair, it's not that fucking hard for a kid to disengage a manual safety either. The important thing is that ANY time kids might POSSIBLY be around, use a fucking lock or get a damn safe. Locks are cheap, and every self-respecting gun owner should work to get a safe as soon as they possibly can.

>>28902262

>I'm just pointing out disadvantages.

Initially my ONLY point was that Glocks had safeties and fudds saying they don't is fucking dumb. I don't know why everyone has to start shit about Glocks being "unsafe" and then blame it on people who like Glocks, which, fun fact, are not the only pistols I own.

Not the other guy but that is subjective as hell. NYC police fired more than 80 shots and hit the guy once. They also have to have their handguns modified to a 12 pound trigger pull.

>>28902271
I won't deny that. A lock is really the best solution regardless, but kids are taught how to hold a gun and pull a trigger from the first action movie they see, so that's what they do the first time they get their hands on one.

You should try to teach them too, but kids won't understand shit about real consequences to their actions at the severity of cappin' a nigga until their teens.

>All guns are dangerous. Glocks are more dangerous by definition of being easier for a random asshole to use.

Ok, Dianne.

>I'm stupid and can't use Google. Please find where it says Glock has a safety for me. Thanks.

You said you've taken one apart. You know exactly how they work. Also >>28901904

A device that prevents the gun from going bang when it's not supposed to is a safety. Glocks have these. Saying that it is dangerous because it goes off when you pull the trigger is like saying my 686 is dangerous.

>>28902421
Although it is dangerously sexy.

>>28902421
Glocks are more dangerous though, except it's from a different perspective. Their not more dangerous in terms of pure ND/AD, they're more dangerous to others due to the fact that it's easier than a DAO or DA/SA to get off a first shot. With a DA pull, you have to consciously put a fair enough amount of effort to pull the trigger to breaking point, whereas the break on a striker-fired gun is less on the first shot. This means if you have someong (cop, CC-holder, etc.) who is jumpy in a hostile scenario, they may be more likely with a Glock to accidentally shoot an innocent person out of reflex and fear instead of holding their shot.

>>28902421
You replied to the wrong person I think.
> A device that prevents the gun from going bang when it's not supposed to is a safety. Glocks have these.
It has several drop-safe mechanisms. Almost every modern handgun has a pin block or other drop safe mechanism.
A safety stops the trigger from firing the gun. Glock doesn't have this, because the "safety" is part of the trigger. If you're pulling the trigger, you're also pulling the safety, so the point is moot.

>>28902472
I also work in IT, and when someone locks out their account or drops a database in production, people don't die. You can't restore a person from tape.
Guns should be just a little archaic for the average person. A kid shouldn't be able to just pick it up and kill someone with zero effort.

It's not easy finding where to put the balance of being just a little archaic, but a safety has been industry standard for a very long time. I think abandoning it is a poor choice.

Amazing that people are so ignorant as to pretend that a drop-safety is a replacement for a positive safety. It's not. The drop-safety features of the Glock are fine *but they are no substitute for a positive safety* which is what we're talking about when we say *safety* without qualifiers. The Glock just doesnt have one, that's a fact.

The web-master asked, "Do you have the file in electronic form?", "No, I misplaced it and doubt I can find it before the deadline," replied the manager.

You don't turn on the safety. It is always on. You turn it OFF by pulling the trigger. Again, this is the whole point. It creates a firearm which cannot be fired unless you deliberately pull the trigger, but you don't need to dick around with any extraneous controls. If you don't like it, that's ok. But since it's a widely carried gun, it's hard to deny that a lot of people can follow this logic.

>Literally missing the point of a safety by astronomical margins.

I guess I must be because I can't see how having a little paddle to enable a trigger vs having a lever on the trigger to enable the trigger is super super different.

>>28902771
The point of a safety is to prevent the gun from going off by snagging on something, being dropped, or otherwise any situation where the gun is in your control, but you don't want it to accidentally fire.

What I feel like you're thinking, and I may be wrong, is that you believe a safety should prevent someone who knows nothing about guns (e.g. a child) from firing said gun. That is not what a safety is for, that is what a lock is for.

>>28902752
Are you retarded? I don't know any new gun being sold that doesn't meet that level of safety. It's called being drop safe.

>>28901924
If you are an idiot sure.

>>28902806
No, being drop safe means you drop it and it doesn't go bang. The drop safe on a Glock is the cruciform in the back. They other two safeties actually involve other parts and protect against other kinds of accidental discharge. The cruciform alone serves as the drop safety.

>>28902860

>>28902798
When you put a gun on safe, you're issuing a command that the gun should not fire until you take it off safe. A side benefit is nobody is going to be able to pick it up and bang without knowing how to take it off safe, but the real benefit is you cannot possibly fire it yourself without taking it off safe (even if you fuck up for whatever reason). Taking a gun off safe is explicitly putting you in a condition to fire (gives strong mental feedback), and an external safety is extremely easy to actuate if you're trained in the use of your gun. I see the lack of any external safety on a Glock to be a disadvantage, because pulling that lever back is the same motion as pulling the trigger.

Having rituals with your firearms is a good thing. Having hardware sanity checks in your rituals is very important too.

>>28902827
It has two drop safeties, which is fine. The third one prevents the trigger from being pulled unless the trigger is being pulled (wtf).

>>28902860
The "safe action system" Glock "invented" is one of the best marketing designs I've ever seen. Even firearms enthusiasts can't see it's completely useless as an external safety, and in fact is not actually an external safety.

There's really no reason for the L-Frame to exist. Retards were using ultra-hot .357 loads that destroyed their Model 19s.

>>28902928
All I'm hearing from this is "I need a retard check." And if that's REALLY how you feel, how come no one ever makes this argument about double action revolvers?

>Even firearms enthusiasts can't see it's completely useless as an external safety, and in fact is not actually an external safety.

The fact that it's NOT an external safety is EXACTLY why people like it. It's not that people can't see it isn't one. It's that people like not having one.

>>28902928
Putting your finger on the trigger is a pretty damn intentional motion, one that each responsible gun owner should have trained into their entire fiber of existence means "By doing this, I'm ready to shoot something". Therefore, the trigger and drop safeties eliminate most other instances a gun should ever accidentally fire.

If you're leaving your weapon somewhere that some random person or child can pick it up and fire it and you haven't first put a lock on it, you are not a responsible gun owner and don't deserve to own any firearms.

I'll give you that, when properly trained, the time difference between a draw with a manual safety vs. without is negligible, however, many people's mentalities, mine included, is "why even worry about it in the first place?" Especially when you abide by the mentalities above.

Except that wasn't the problem.

>>28902957
DAO generally gets a pass because it's cowboy-tier and the pull is really heavy. Plus if you unload a revolver, it's actually unloaded. Not so with dropping an auto mag.

OP:

This is what I'm fighting, because it clearly comes from not understanding what a safety is.

Being drop safe is not having a safety.
If you cannot disable a loaded gun from firing with a trigger pull, you don't have a safety.

>>28902971
> Putting your finger on the trigger is a pretty damn intentional motion
See my first reply in this post.

>>28903069
>see first reply

Putting your finger on the trigger should be mental feedback enough. Hell, in a defensive scenario, the act of drawing your gun should already be enough mental feedback, and by that point the manual safety of anything else would be off anyway, so outside of the holster it literally makes no difference.

Realistically, a carry gun should have only two places it ever stays: In a safe/locked, or in your holster. Both of these virtually eliminate negligent and/or accidental discharge, the Glock's internal safeties just cover any other extraneous scenarios where an AD might happen.

Some more than others. If you feel like you have that capacity, don't buy a Glock. Those of us who feel like responsible adults have a few more options, and that's ok. People like different things.

According to you, maybe. We've come a little way since the 1911 though, so you have to kind of accept that at some point.

>Being drop safe is not having a safety.

Correct, which is why the Glock has more than just a drop safety. Unless you'd like to argue that preventing the trigger from accidentally being pulled to the rear is a drop safety, which should be kekworthy.

> We've come a little way since the 1911 though, so you have to kind of accept that at some point.
Yes, all handguns of worth now have things like drop-safe mechanisms, which I wholly agree with.
Removing the safety is a step backwards. You aren't forced to use it, but having it lets you have a lighter crisper trigger without risking an ND.

> Unless you'd like to argue that preventing the trigger from accidentally being pulled to the rear is a drop safety
No, but it's useless design masturbation for marketing purposes. It's still possible to pull accidentally so it's not a real safety. I'd be willing to accept it as an actual safety if the gun could read your mind and know you intend to fire the weapon. Guns don't do this (and shouldn't unless the tech is 100% proven and reliable. Not 99.99, 1fucking00%), so until then you are responsible for telling the gun you intend to fire. An external safety is an explicit "intent to fire" switch that the Glock does not have.

For pocket and purse, they have small trigger guard covers that you should use that you can attach to something in your pants/purse that pulls it off when you draw. If you're mexican carrying you deserve a round in your leg.

again, rigors of training comes into play. A responsible owner knows to treat a gun like it's always loaded, and drop mag and rack at least three times before disassembling.

>kids still killing themselves
kids will still kill themselves by other means too, the key is to educate gun owners more on safe handling and storage

>forgetting
Honestly I don't have much of a response to this as I know humans aren't perfect. But if this is devolving into a general "guns are unsafe" argument vs. Glock safety features, then this is an argument that ANY gun owner faces, not just Glock owners.

>Lemme take a shit before I put it away
I shit with my holster on all the time, and unless you just come off an MRE binge no shit is so bad that you should ever be in a situation to have your gun lying about before you put it away

>ND is when, not if
not if we keep treating it with that attitude

>one in the pipe
again, human forgetfullness. I'll give you this that a manual safety "might" help here but again, if you're training yourself in proper respect of firearms and rules of handling then you should know to take your finger off the trigger when not firing as well as not point at anything you don't want to shoot.

I realize we aren't in an ideal world, what I'm trying to say is that rationalizing poor behavior and education on the part of gun owners with "it's inevitable/people are fallible" is asinine. Yes, mistakes will always happen. Yes, people will still needlessly die with guns. However, the arguments you are now bringing forth are gun safety arguments and no longer targeted towards Glocks. Therefore, you're basically saying the drawbacks to a Glock are the same as any other gun.

Look if there is no way to prevent the trigger being pulled then yes there would be more of a chance of an AD/ND compared to a gun that can. I understand that the best safety is you finger but having both good trigger discipline and having a way to lock the trigger is literally more safe then just trigger discipline. I like Glock but holy shit I thought the Glock fanboy thing was just a meme.

Shit, just shot myself in the leg.

Glocks were originally designed for use with a rigid plastic holster as far as use as a military sidearm.

Now, maybe you share some responsibility for allowing your gear to degrade like that, but the point remains that a gun with an actual safety (an external mechanical lever or toggle) would not have a problem with this configuration.

Stay mad Glockers.

I don't mean to go full Moms here, but that's a poor argument. If we can prevent accidental death while still being able to effectively carry and deploy, then we should.

> guns are unsafe
They are. Glocks are more unsafe. This is pretty objective. Doesn't mean we shouldn't carry them, just that you need to adjust your care to the needed level of unsafe-ness, and I think removing the safety is a false economy in this regard.

> not if we keep treating it with that attitude
What. That attitude comes from the same thought as "A gun is always loaded". Fear keeps us safe, always has. You cannot cure mistakes.

> Therefore, you're basically saying the drawbacks to a Glock are the same as any other gun.
Glock: The same as any other gun except missing a safety feature present on most other guns.

Also maybe you missed it, but you can't put a light crisp trigger on a Glock. That's a disadvantage too but I haven't been campaigning it because imo not as important as the pure safety disadvantage.

Lightening a Glock trigger is an effort in compromises. I've had two people say "oh you gotta try this aftermarket setup it's so good", only for it to suck compared to most stock DA/SA or SAO. If it turns to mush to get to 2.5lbs, it sucks. Then you have a trigger at 2.5lbs that sucks, and you still can't put the gun on safe.

Sure.

>>28903665

Okay, so just so we're clear, the Glock trigger design isn't a problem entirely on the basis of how LIKELY it is to cause an accident, rather than the fact that it COULD cause an accident.

I'll bet you think the trouble Remington was having with their 700 safeties accidentally causing the guns to go off were no big deal either. I mean nobody was ever injured by one of those, right?

Meanwhile, there's apparently enough interest for people to have designed pseudo-safeties for Glocks specifically to prevent them from accidentally going off when you holster them and aren't paying attention to what's going on inside the trigger guard. Hmm...

I wonder why you feel the need to throw in an ad hominem every time you post.

http://www.thegunzone.com/glock/holster_recalls.html

US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning back in 2004 for kydex holsters that could accidentally activate a Glock's trigger while drawing or reholstering.

"There have been eight reports of the Glock handgun unintentionally discharging when being inserted into the gun holster, and one report of a user injuring his finger when a Glock handgun unintentionally discharged while being inserted into the gun holster."

That was 12 years ago with a single holster that had only been on the market for... 2 years, maybe? Dunno, having a hard time finding the release date of that particular Fobus.

That's not an "accident". That's negligence.

Being a fuckwit is supposed to hurt. That's how you learn. Or, if you don't learn, it removes your defective genes from the population.

>>28903715
So more holster problems then. Not seeing a single article blaming the design of the weapon itself.

>>28903732

I will reiterate: a handgun with a manual external safety that physically blocks the movement of the trigger would have prevented all of these incidents.

Your entire premise ultimately goes back to "the gun will not go off unless the trigger is pulled." Glock's safe action trigger makes NDs less likely due to the interlocks and the fact that you must apply pressure to the trigger in a manner consistent with a human finger deliberately pulling it.

It's just there are things other than your trigger finger that can produce that effect.

This one's old enough to be legal in certain states.

"A Glock is a safe weapon, Cominolli said, but only if the person handling it knows how to use it. If the gun is unloaded in the wrong order, for example, a round of ammunition can be left in the chamber without the user realizing it, he said. With no manual safety, the gun will fire if the trigger is pulled.

"Even with good training, people forget," he said. "And guns are not forgiving.""

>I'll bet you think the trouble Remington was having with their 700 safeties accidentally causing the guns to go off were no big deal either. I mean nobody was ever injured by one of those, right?

There's a big difference between an actual mechanical failure of the lockwork and some jackass with a room temperature IQ absentmindedly pulling the trigger.

Throughout this thread you have been extrapolating user error onto the mechanical design of the firearm.

You might be mixing people up here. I was the main arguer ITT, and I think we pretty much reached the conclusion that

A: Glock doesn't have a safety
B: I don't think that's a good idea
C: Glock can't have a light and crisp trigger (prove me wrong, please, it'd be nice actually)

Everything else came down to preference in the end, so agree to disagree.

>>28903827
If your mindset is "I WILL put a round in an attacker at some point" you need to immediately sell all your firearms before you hurt someone that dindu nuffin.

The mindset is for conditioning purposes. Don't mistake it for compulsion. Neither of us would go out looking for someone to kill, but we both train with the thought that it could seriously happen, right?

>>28903843
You can't compare an ND to a self defense scenario and no one here has to explain to you why.

>>28903801

But why?

Since we're being completely subjective here, you've discounted every example I've found where a poor handling characteristic combined with the Glock's lack of a manual external safety has resulted in an AD or ND as being "cherry picking". It happens. The Remington thing happened too, i.e. the gun went off when someone wasn't expecting it to.

Perhaps we could compare an outright failed design (Remington) with one that has a handling weakness by omission (Glock)?

If it makes you feel any better I am equally prejudiced against M&Ps that don't have a safety, but at least Smith gives you the option.

Gaston Glock designed a pistol to be used as a military sidearm. It had to be as simple and no-frills as possible, lightweight, and have a high capacity. In a military situation, using a sidearm at all generally means everything's gone to shit and you need to put lead in something before that something puts a bayonet in you. In that respect the Glock is great, it's a point-and-shoot weapon that's utterly idiot proof, and since you're not exactly handling it all that much anyway, the odds of having an incident with something invading your trigger guard and making the gun go off is very low.

But that's not what we're talking about now, is it? Glocks are commonly used by cops and average joes, and we can find plenty of examples of either not using best practices with a gun that is especially unforgiving of that.

Maybe you feel like more of a badass because you tell yourself with mathematical certainty that you'll never, ever, ever botch something involving a Glock's trigger. Good for you then. I prefer a safety, and I'd prefer those around me had one too, because I don't know if they're all as cool as you are.

>>28903841

Did you literally stop reading the quote halfway through? I mean, really?

>>28903856
But the training for both is the same.

> I might need to draw and fire some day, better work on my draw and fire

>>28903863
>you dismissed my arguments as cherry picking
Because they were the definition of cherry picking. If I find a bunch of stories about 1911 NDs, and I probably could because it's a popular gun, does it mean the 1911 is unsafe? I don't think so.

You're welcome.

>>28903881

You can have an ND with any gun, that's not really the point. A gun with an external manual safety will not go off while the safety is engaged unless it suffers a mechanical failure. A Glock's trigger will likely do just fine in a great many situations - I have been piling on episodes where it wasn't enough.

That's not cherry picking, that's the actual factual exact problem I am highlighting.

Toyotas are really safe cars, only a few people died due to the accelerator pedal sticking, and most of those were due to the floor mats in the driver's footwell coming loose anyway. Obviously there's no problem there, just make sure your floor mat is actually adhered to the floor before you get in your car.

It sounds a bit silly now when you take a step back and juxtapose the same logic on something that is by definition not "supposed" to be deadly.

It seems you take more exception with the idea that it is valid to criticize a gun which can discharge unintentionally in a given situation.

>airguns are not real guns

Yeah yeah airsoft is toys, but still dangerous, whatever.

But there are air rifles intended for hunting medium game. They're not all toys. Even the lower power ones aren't legal for use in airsoft play, and are intended for long-range target shooting. The CZ618 (and 613 and 620 and ... ), a literal toy that came to the west in thousands meant to be played with by children, is not legal in modern airsoft because it shoots at too high a muzzle velocity and is intended to load pellets, which fucking hurt.

>>In terms of mechanical design, there are few flaws with Glock pistols. If a law enforcement officer, soldier or citizen does exactly what they are supposed to do all of the time with cyborg certainty, there will be no problems with the Glock or other popular pistols mimicking its basic design. Unfortunately, “RoboCop” is only a movie, and humans are liable to make similar mistakes over and over again.

>>The underlying problem with these pistols is a short trigger pull and the lack of an external safety. In real-world encounters, a short trigger pull can be lethal, in part because a significant percentage of law enforcement officers — some experts say as high as 20% — put their finger on the trigger of their weapons when under stress. According to firearms trainers, most officers are completely unaware of their tendency to do this and have a hard time believing it, even when they're shown video evidence from training exercises.

>>For more than 35 years, officer-involved accidental discharges with Glocks and Glock-like weapons have been blamed on a lack of training or negligence on the part of the individual cops. What critics should be addressing instead is the brutal reality that short trigger pulls and natural human reflexes are a deadly combination.

>>28904103
that sounds kinda cute 2bh

>>28904112

>>28904086
>>28904038
holy fucking shit. that's literally what the case is over.
for anyone interested, the tl;dr version goes:

>cop leaves guns in his truck, a beretta and a glock
>cop straps his 3 year old son into the back seat of the truck where he thinks the guns are out of reach
>his son shoots him
>he sues Glock, Revolver Club, Bushnell and Andrews Sporting Goods, and Turner's outdoorsman because glocks have 5 pound triggers and no safeties

>>28904112
>cops murder the fuck out of people because they're incompetent swine with murder fantasies

>this is somehow Glock's fault

>>28904112
>op-ed

...

>>28904128
So his argument is... father is a retard therefore glock a shit...?

>>28904128
>glocks have no safeties
but this is literally wrong. They won't go off unless you explicitly pull the trigger, which is not possible to do by unpreventable accident in most if not all circumstances. This is not true of guns that do not have safeties, that can go off under routine non-firing conditions.

>>28904112
>honey come to bed
>NO IF I POST INCREASINGLY IRRELEVANT ARTICLES PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WILL THINK LIKE ME

>>28904138
yes. that's literally his argument. the guy that got shot didn't even use the safety on his 92fs, so added safeties wouldn't have done anything. basically every company he's suing called him a retard and said there was no defect with the gun.

You should be more current with the DSM, they don't consider Asperger's to actually be a thing anymore.

>>28904132

>>all opinions I disagree with are discounted

>>28904130

That's kind of an interesting interpretation of the article. What I got out of it is that a gun designed for minimal handling and maximum shot-on-target speed might not be the best choice for our often poorly-trained police officers.

Some anon earlier pointed out that NYPD, among others, modify their Glocks to have atrocious trigger pulls in order to reduce NDs on the force.

Even if they were using some of those garbage old S&Ws from the early 90s this would be a non-issue.

>>28904160
I don't care what they call it, anon. You've got it.

>>28904160

Just so I understand then: Glocks are bad because cops suck at their jobs? Because that is a piss poor argument.

>>28904160
>implying cop discharges are true NDs

They willingly shoot people and just look for scapegoats. If it wasn't "Glocks le have no safeties :^)" it'd be the old "he was reaching for a gun so I had to shoot!" even though the perp is on film with his hands up the whole time.

that's because there's very very little firearms training required for LEOs. and the shitty trigger pull definitely adds to how inaccurate their officers are in new york, and why they can miss 83 out of 84 shots, or hit a bunch of civilians.
retarded fucking users isn't a problem with the gun.

>>28904171

A relentless desire to argue with other anons when the both of us could be doing something more productive?

Maybe I'll name it after myself.

>>28904178

You're projecting. I have not once accused a Glock of being "bad". I am critical of the fact that its so-called safety mechanism cannot prevent the gun from going off if something invades your trigger guard and is capable of exerting force on the trigger, which is not a problem for a gun with an external manual safety. The other anon threw that out since I only posted a single example of it. Thus the last... hour or so? I think.

To digress, the point is that certain situations can cause a Glock (or some SIGs, or M&Ps that don't have the safety added) to go off when something like a 1911 or a CZ or even a cheapo Bersa wouldn't. I think that's a problem.

>>28904189
Your entire argument is that guns should babysit people.

>>28901970
if your 3 year old has access to your glock you deserve to get shot in the first place, even fudds know that let alone former cops

>>28904204

Being able to deactivate the weapon by pressing on a button or toggle is not "babysitting". Your views on gun control (lol) are interesting.

>>28904209

Was that not a correct use of the term? He was trying to allude to a common criticism of the weapon which I myself have not actually made. It leads me to suspect other people have made that argument before and he's had to defend his weapon of choice to them.

Maybe I'm the one who needs to brush up on my undergrad psychology stuff.

>>28904210
Yeah they sure are weird ideas... that are shared by a significant number of CCW holders and target shooters.

>>28904210
>Being able to deactivate the weapon by pressing a button or a toggle

Or like maybe by letting off one. Like maybe one on the trigger? I don't know, something like that anyway. Probably never been done before.

>>28904210
>Being able to deactivate the weapon by pressing on a button or toggle
The Glock is by default deactivated. You have to activate it by pulling the trigger. Many other firearms do not have systems that prevent the gun from going off with through other means than the trigger being pulled.

The Glock literally has a safety. What is so hard to understand about this?

The second one was a Winchester that was probably a good hundred years newer than the Mauser I posted first.

Also, it occurs to me I haven't posted any more "person shoots himself while re-holstering a Glock" articles in a while. I should fix that.

Weird how there's so many of these...

Oh, extra credit!

>>Heubusch confirmed that buttons on the sides of officers' jackets have been known to catch on the triggers of guns, but the officer in this case was not wearing a jacket and the officer had on no other clothing that might have caught on the trigger.

>>28904324

In my ideal world, the cops and military would trade sidearms. Berettas are good guns, accurate, handle well, but they're heavy and complicated. Both the dudes I know who went to Astan were issued M9s but rarely, if ever, carried them because it was more advantageous to just bring more ammunition for your primary weapon, or an extra grenade, or some such thing. If you're a cop who's rolling around in a cruiser all day, it doesn't really matter how heavy your sidearm is. Meanwhile Glocks were designed to be a military handgun from the very beginning, i.e. a weapon used in an emergency situation when you absolutely need it to go bang *right the fuck now*.

>>28904326

>>all cops who have ever shot themselves with a Glock are dipshits, there is absolutely no way it could be due to a design oversight with the gun.

http://khon2.com/2014/09/09/hpd-investigates-after-officers-gun-fired-in-store-bathroom/

So, why do you think this particular cop felt it was necessary to fondle his gun while in a bathroom stall?

I mean that's the implication, right? There's no way an article of clothing might have gotten wedged into his holster while he was taking a dump? Hmm...

>>28904338

Nobody is forcing you to stay here, y'know.

>>28901743
The point of a safety is not to prevent the trigger from pulling while your finger is on it, its to prevent it from being pulled while holstering your weapon which is when 95% of people will shoot themselves. Its a necessity on a gun that doesn't have an external hammer (like a glock) because you can't simply put your thumb behind the hammer while holstering. The seriousness of the holstering issue is amplified under stress, which you will be under after having to shoot someone. Then what if you wish to holster your weapon to run out of the area and hop a wall if its still dangerous? Or put your CCW back in the holster so officer fucktard doesn't shoot you when he arrives on scene thinking you're the suspect.

And don't tell me "just look at your holster and be super duper careful" because this is what macho men like you are teaching people to do WHILE UNDER STRESS:

https://youtu.be/a3KQBJdgTPc

Try wantching that without cringing.

It also is a good feature if you want to leave your gun on a table, in a drawer, or in a safe while chambered. You really wouldn't want to grab your gun under stress or in the dark without one. It's time you guys just get over your fetish for being a macho man who don't need no homo safety. Your deadly weapon, that can kill or seriously injure someone including yourself, should not just go 0 to 100 because something puts a little bit of force in one particular area. A thumb safety is NOT redundancy, as I've stated it has a clear purpose. Though redundancy isn't a bad thing with again, a deadly fucking weapon.

Don't try to ignore this. Counter it, I want to hear your bullshit opinions. You haven't though hard enough, realize this. You listened to idiots on the internet who told you without any facts, and with misconceptions about what the safety is even for.

>>28901896
the trigger safety and the firing pin block are drop safeties. The cocking thing isn't a real safety. It's just a way to make a shittier trigger pull.
when most people talk about a safety they mean something you can switch to make the gun not fire. Glocks are drop safe but they don't have what i would think of as "a safety"
Look at rifle safeties; most block the trigger from being pulled.
Look at slide safety pistols; blocks the hammer from striking
Look at revolvers; some have a manual safety that blocks the trigger from being pulled.

>>28904348
>keep pressure on the trigger guard so it doesn't slip

we learned the opposite at basic handling C7s, keep your finger loose but away entirely. if it slips or whatever, great, you break your finger by crushing it on the fucking receiver against whatever you fell on instead of shooting your buddy in the back of the knee by accident

Unless you're actually carrying an original Government Model they don't go off if you smack the hammer anymore.

And if you ARE carrying an original 1911 what the fuck is wrong with you? That's a collector's piece. Go buy one from Rock Island or something and carry that.

>>28904420

Oh, I'm sorry, I figured someone as cool as an ex-Magpul demonstrator (or the anon in this thread earlier) would be able to demonstrate a bad handling technique without actually having an ND. My mistake.

I'm really comfortable with you carrying a Glock now.

>>28904406
They're on rifles and shotguns because the fad hasn't gotten to them yet. Many say they have them because the triggers are lighter than the DA pull on handguns. Glocks do not have a DA pull, they're SA only and yea SA only because there's no cocking of the hammer upon pulling of the trigger, and the pull is somewhat light, lighter than some rifles family...

>>28904432
I'd say he did a pretty solid demonstration on why the technique is bad. don't do stupid things and stupid rewards won't follow.

>>28904432
They go off if you have your finger on the trigger and the safety off if you have a good grip on it dipshit. That was my entire point.

Did you even read the original post? Scratch that. Can you even read?

>>28904448

...so... you're saying it was an intentional accidental discharge?

There's no universe in which he wanted that gun to go off right then. If anything it's a further indictment of a gun whose only safety is in the trigger.

>>28904454

Uh, yeah... if Glock doesn't go bang on the first go, you rack the slide. Like I've been pretty critical of the Glock trigger but this is just dumb.

You SHOULD do that with any gun whenever you can. If you have a DA gun you could just pull the trigger again and hope it goes bang this time, but I believe the preferred method today is to just assume that round is a dud and get the next one up and chambered.

>>28904460
It's not about feel, the hammer will not function with your finger behind it even with gentle firmness.

To the other faggots saying I don't know how a flock works you know damn well what I meant. The striker not hammer. Quit trying to pull semantics and try to counter my actual point.

>>28904474
That's nice except you still didn't know the pin isn't fully cocked until the trigger is pulled. Got an excuse for that?

>>28904472
no. I'm not saying it was intentional. I'm saying he was demonstrating it was a bad technique, and one reason why it was a bad technique happened by chance.
did you notice how the gun didn't magically go off until he was using a really shitty technique? if he was using normal trigger discipline, even with the safety off, no shots would have been fired.

>>28904472
>emergency situation
>pull trigger and hope

No fuckhead, you're going to pull the trigger 10 more times before you realize what's going on and rerack it. Would you rather be pulling a dead trigger or one that performs the function of a trigger? It just might go off on that second or third, but indeed you should train to rack it as soon as you realize what happened.

>>28904481
>don't do what I just called you out for doing

Got an excuse for your lack of an argument or knowledge of real world firearms training?

>>28904497
Literally don't know what you're saying here. Want to try again in English?

>>28904489

For the record, I'd rather have a DA gun so I'd have the ABILITY to pull the trigger again and go for a second shot, or at least a hammer I can recock for same, but again, the preferred method is to just rack the slide immediately and worry on whether it was a dud round or a light primer strike later.

I'm no fan of Glocks as all the bitching about the trigger should suggestion, but this is one area where it's not really that big of a deal.

If you really really feel like it's necessary to be able to cock your Glock you can get one of these things...

Though at that point I'm questioning why you aren't using a gun with a hammer in the first place.

>>28904406
The cocking thing is just a half assed DA trigger. If you made a glock without the drop safeties and never dropped it wouldn't be any more safe then a regular glock. It doesn't have a safety it has drop safeties. It doesn't have a no go bang switch. We have different ideas of what "a safety" means.

>>28904545

I like that, "no go bang switch". It sounds more fun than "manual external safety". I'm gonna remember that.

>>28904545
>if you took out the drop safeties of a gun and never dropped it it would be fine

Well no shit.

>>28904545
The no go bang switch is the lever on the trigger. Yes, it's on the trigger. And it performs the exact same function. So who gives a shit?

what the fuck is even going on in this thread?

>>28904565
b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but if you're an idiot that's not paying attention when holstering a toddler might jam his dick into your trigger guard and then you'll shoot off a bunch of rounds by accident! Glocks are SHIT!

>>28904576
I think you're confused about my position on the Glock safety system, friendo.

>>28904474
I haven't tried pulling the trigger on my pps with my thumb on the firing pin. I'll dry fire it tomorrow and see. There should be enough leverage to still pull the trigger but it at least is a way to check yourself while you reholster.

>>28904565

Except that's a lie.

If I hit my 1911's frame safety on something while I'm putting the gun away, it won't go off unless I'm also pulling the trigger and have the grip safety depressed at the same time.

And have the hammer cocked.

I suppose I have a better question at this point, it's 2016, you can get an M&P... why have a Glock at all?

Forget the trigger for a minute, it's still basically the same gun that Gaston Glock drew in the late 70s. They have adjustable backstraps and finger grooves now, which I guess is good, but...

>>28904591
My Glock will also not go off unless I'm pulling the trigger. Different how?

>>28904586
I don't care what your position is. glocks are shitty shit because they don't stop me from shooting myself if pull the trigger. I have to keep my finger and toddler dicks AWAY from the trigger to keep it from going bang. how fucking worthless is that?

>>28904565
No, the trigger is the make it go bang switch. There is a difference.

>>28904591
>and have the hammer cocked

Second time I've seen this. Who the fuck is carrying condition 2? Do you want to die?

>>28904591
>you can get an M&P
do you want me to send you links to cops that have had an ND with m&ps?

>>28904603
Just like there's a difference between the trigger on a Glock and the trigger safety.

>>28904612

I told you to ignore the trigger thing.

Also ignore that you can get a no go bang switch on an M&P.

In terms of ergonomics and barrel axis it's just a better gun overall. Polymer molding and composition has changed a lot since 1980, but Glocks are still built basically the same way they were back then.

>>28904635
I'm convinced you've never shot a gun before.

>>28904557
I'm saying that there are only drop safeties on a glock and not a real safety. A walther p22 has too many safeties. It has a stupid key lock safety and a manual safety that blocks the hammer, it has a drop safe trigger, a magazine disconnect and a chamber indicator. The key and manual safeties I think of as real safeties. The other things are nice but not real safeties.

>>28904649
According to who? You? You're the safety czar now?

>>28904629
Other then in the case of dropping it? There is functionally not a difference.

>>28904649
>I'm saying that there are only drop safeties on a glock and not a real safety
the trigger safety and firing pin safety aren't drop safeties though.

>>28901743
Not a huge glock fan. Their ergonomics suck and they're over hyped in my opinion. But a weapon not having a manual external safety is different than having no safety at all. I carry a p229. It has no external safety. But it has a very robust internal safety.

But that's wrong. How does dropping it relate to the trigger lever? That's solely thereto prevent the trigger being pulled by anything other than a deliberate trigger pull.

>>28904658
Yep.
I mean that is what the fudds think of as "a safety" and it's an interlock.

>>28904675
cool, your dad's a member of the nra? and for whatever reason framed that and put it on his wall?

>>28904679

Or anything else that might have invaded your trigger guard which can effect an equivalent amount of force. Like a worn leather holster, or a drawstring tab, keys on a lanyard...

this. I applaud dipshit anon. it's no easy feat to post completely irrelevant links and posts all night long without saying anything at all.

>>28904679
You are wrong. It is there to create a biharmonic weight that won't have the same momentum if the gun is dropped.

>>28904707

Galco makes shit holsters now?

This is news to me.

>>the gun I like has a defect that has caused numerous ADs which wouldn't have happened with a gun not using the same system, clearly everyone is a retard and needs to be more like me

Good job, OP. You wanted a thread about what triggers everyone's autism, and you have a thread full of autist arguing. Well played.

>>28904700
Op cares. It the fucking point of the thread. I don't care if you want a gun with no safeties. Just don't expect me to think that a glock has "a safety"

>>28904718
No it's to literally prevent the trigger from moving backwards you autist. It's one of the simplest things to understand about the gun.

>>28904719
>current year
>still using leather

Yes, shitty. And human error doesn't mean a product has a defect. For instance, you are shitting up this board. But that's because you're an autistic fudd who isn't capable of grasping the concept of responsibility with a firearm. It's not 4chan's fault.

>>28904730
>Just don't expect me to think that a glock has "a safety"
glocks have 3 safeties. you're factually wrong if you think they don't have any.

>>28904730
but it does

>>28904707
Safeties and interlocks are there to help with human error.

>>28904716

First I must apologize in advance for linking to a shit website like Mother Jones in the first place. But the factual parts of the article are still worth bringing up:

>>In 1988, the FBI predicted that the Glock's sensitive trigger and lack of external safeties would "inevitably ... lead to an unintentional shot at the worst moment." Indeed, 11 years later, the Washington DC Police Department alone had had 120 accidental firings, 19 officers had wounded themselves or others with Glocks, and the district had paid $1.4 million in damages from resulting lawsuits related to Glock accidents. In one case, an officer shot and killed an unarmed teen at a DC roadblock. Another officer accidentally shot and killed an unarmed motorist during a routine traffic stop. One DC cop accidentally shot his own roommate.

>>The Louisville, Ky. Police Department adopted the Glock just last year. Within six months, five Louisville police guns fired accidentally. One bullet hit a truck. Another officer's gun fired while he was leaning over to tie his shoe laces. After the third misfire, Louisville police rushed to defend their new Glocks, declaring the gun not guilty in the third incident -- the officer's gun went off accidentally as he was attacked by a man who had fled a routine traffic stop. Rather than bagging the gun, the department implemented new training in gun safety. Several more accidents followed almost immediately, the fifth an errant bullet accidentally wounding an officer's son.

I've gone from nogunz to an autistic fudd now. I guess that's an upgrade?

>>28904745
So it's a defect that the gun doesn't babysit your dumb ass? Do you actually understand what a defect IS? The gun works as designed. The defective part in this equation is you.

>>28904750
>motherjones
>the website that claimed a bumpfire stock made a gun full auto and you could legally build a full auto AK

well done

>>28904733
>No it's to literally prevent the trigger from moving backwards you autist.
Moving backwards from being dropped and not much else. Tell me what else it would stop?

Holy shit you're actually retarded.

>>28904766
Seriously? Snagging. Wow. That took me all of 2 seconds. Want to know how I know you don't carry?

>>28904758
>>28904769

I fucking apologized for linking to it in the first place because I know what a cesspool it is. That doesn't make the factual parts of the article wrong.

If there was an opinion website you actually liked and it published a bunch of drivel and garbage, would you take it at face value just because what they usually publish there is good?

You're deflecting and pivoting.

>>28904750
that doesn't prove anything. like, at all. That just proves that there were 120 incidents where people were fucking stupid.

if I predicted that having sharp knives would lead to people cutting themselves, then people cut themselves, that doesn't mean the knife is a worthless piece of shit for being too sharp and all knives should be dull.

if I predict that someone will get impaled by a forklift, then someone gets impaled by one because they weren't paying attention, that doesn't mean the forklift needs spring loaded arms that retract when they come in contact with a retard. it just means that retards need to fucking pay attention and be responsible for their actions.

>>28904773
>factual

see >>28904758

>>28904752
I didn't say it was a defect. I have a walther pps that doesn't have a safety. Glocks don't have a manual safety and most people call that "a safety".

>>28904773
>i'm linking an admitted cesspool because it supports my arguments
you really are a worthless piece of shit aren't you?

>>28904782
>>28904790

The FBI report from 1988 they referenced exists. You could probably sleuth down news articles about the various Glock-related mishaps that occurred in the 90s.

Just because it is posted on Mother Jones or some other shit-tier website doesn't mean it suddenly becomes false.

>>28904772
But there were holsters that would snag the trigger and fire it. So that doesn't really work.

>>28904794
the fbi report doesn't mean a fucking thing though. I'm sure there were more than 120 NDs with other firearms over the course of 11 fucking years.

>>28904795

No no anon, apparently if we want to use a leather holster in 2016 we're fudds and autists. Everyone must use a Serpa or Blackhawk or some other Nutnfancy-approved plastic brick in order to protect the Glock's trigger from our stupidity.

>>28904795
That weren't designed for the Glock. So yeah, Bubba's an idiot and literally no gun on the planet is foolproof from people like him. Proving what?

>>28904797
I mean only use Kydex if you don't want to ND. It's your ass/appendix though. Actually, you know what? Please use leather.

>>28904797
any holster that lets material into the trigger guard is bad by design though.

>>28904772
How does having a button on top of button you have to hit to unlock the button make it any less likely for anything to hit that button?

>>implying a good leather holster is cheap

I'm starting to think it is you who is nogunz, anon.

>>28904813
Well it does if you have to hit that first button in a specific way. Seriously are you even trying here?

>>28904799
That isn't designed to be anything but a drop safety.

>>28904824
and "good" leather holsters are the ones snagging huh? right.

>>28901992
What happened to the vid of some Leo holstering his GLOCK in a gun shop and shooting himself

>>28904827
But it is. It literally blocks the trigger's rearward travel and moves a little out of the way if you pull on it. It's so simple to understand that a monkey could figure it out. So what's your excuse?

>>28904826
The same way you hit any button? It was designed as a drop safety.
