I think the point was the fact that you are mistaken about there being no safety on the Glock pistol.

I remember at least one that was well documented by a police officer. His departments armorer was so skeptical he didn't even bother to go to the range with it. He just took it out into the parking lot and promptly shot a round into the pavement. A 5.5 lb trigger is a little to light for a gun with no safety. It seems like I remember when Glocks first came out most gun experts were saying Glocks required more training than guns with safeties. I believed it then and I believe it now. If it didn't hold so many rounds and it wasn't so accurate I would get rid of mine.
That LEO was negligent. That's not the fault of the Glock. Are you saying the gun 'just went off'?

Glocks do have safeties. 1) the trigger safety, 2) the firing pin safety, and c) the drop safety.

There is also keeping your booger picker off of the bang switch. The officer obviously didn't do this. Again, not the fault of the Glock...only the LEO.

Lastly, what is your plan when some goblin comes at you and smashes your weak side arm with a tire iron?
