Don't blame the gun for what may be a holster related issue or operator error. There is a popular video on YouTube of a guy's ND into his leg using a pistol with a manual and grip safeties. Adding more safeties does not make a gun better or safer. Lack of unnecessary safeties doesn't mean the gun has issues.Merovingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107298350120091804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-71722130528763465502017-09-26T23:45:43.735-07:002017-09-26T23:45:43.735-07:00"The Springfield XD series pistols and Heckle..."The Springfield XD series pistols and Heckler & Koch both are much better weapons. The XD has the grip safety, (similar to 1911), and a drop safety. It is in my opinion, and many experts agree, that it is also of higher build quality than Glock."<br /><br />LOL!! This guy has no clue what he's talking about!! ALL Glocks have THREE safeties INCLUDING a drop safety!!<br /><br />People have ND's with Glocks for ONE REASON and ONE REASON only - their own failure to adhere to the 4 Firearms Safety Rules.<br /><br />He is right about one thing though - "But then opinions are like A-holes, we all have one."thebronzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475254511231127689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-12052526175787407662017-08-29T13:00:24.215-07:002017-08-29T13:00:24.215-07:00I have to disagree a bit.

It is a result of human error, plain and simple. Do not try to blame it on probabilities. It was the person's fault for violating the basic rules of gun safety. An accidental discharge occurs when something causes the firearm to fire when it should not. Examples include the P320 drop issue, a gun getting sucked into an MRI machine, foreign objects getting in the trigger guard, or the hammer following the slide on a pistol that has had its springs tweaked a bit too light.

And they are given the GLOCK because the company gives significant discounts to police and other law enforcement organizations to make money later in the support side. It is called marketing. <br /><br />Are GLOCKs unsafe? No. But they do have issues. They are reliable, but they have less safety than other designs. Nearly all of these ND's are the result of mishandling and failure on the part of the operator.They could be MUCH safer and have a lower percentage of ND's (and yes, all Accidental Discharges are the result of negligence by the user) with better designs to make them safer. Look at the percentages of ND's for GLOCK vs other designs...not the raw number, but the percentage. GLOCK is higher. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.com
