For a striker fired pistol where the striker is partially precocked like the Glock is comparing apples and oranges, a travel and trigger pull device will show the obvious difference. I have nothing against them, have several striker pistols, and many more revolvers, and they are not the same as a revolver, safety of use wise, or any other. <br /><br />BTW, the majority of my pistols are DA/SA, I prefer the CZ75 design.

Among other reasons is that they are a proven design with relatively few total parts, making them as reliable as a mechanical device can be. Failures are rare. Aftermarket parts and upgrades are plentiful including at least two ad on safeties, the Siderlock and the Cominolli thumb safety.Remember,Google is your friend.<br />All that said, there are, at least in the USA, lots of excellent polymer handguns available. Smith&Wesson, Ruger,Springfield, H&K, Walther, FN and others make quality pistols. Some would say they have actually made some improvements over the Glock Like better stock triggers and superior ergonomics.<br />It is good to keep in mind that the safety feature that matters the most is you. This is determined in large part by how much time, effort and $$ you are willing to devote to training and drilling.<br />None of this is intended to knock Glocks in any way, there are just a lot of very good options available. <br />All the best,<br />Tom<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217513775828349384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-23476581845845527212016-06-29T18:24:46.138-07:002016-06-29T18:24:46.138-07:00The magazine release on a glock 19 gen 4 is way to...The magazine release on a glock 19 gen 4 is way too easy with a full mag in the gun. <br /> It is plastic on plastic and there have been several times i have found the magazine disengaged because the mag release got bumped or pushed during the days work. It could easily drop free in a struggle also. People talk about a easy reload-well, if the mag drops free, you get one shot before you have to reload. <br /> Any suggestions how to fix it? Brand new gun, no modifications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
