Don't get me wrong, as I own Glocks too, and they do require some extra caution. But, one day I'm going to find out who "they" are, because I strongly disagree with them. If the above quote were true, they would have to unequivocally state that "they" had never:

1. Tripped
2. Cut themselves
3. Burned themselves
4. Caught themselves exceeding the speed limit when they didn't intend to
5. Shocked themselves
6. Hit their finger with a hammer
7. Added, subtracted, or multiplied incorrectly
8. Spilled a drink, or dropped a plate
9. Had a minor or major accident of any kind, due to their own fault
10. etc., etc., etc.

Unintentional inattention is a human trait, and no amount of brain power will prevent it. I'm not saying that with weapons you don't need to be extra careful regardless of safeties, but safeties are things that work when "you" (gray matter) fail, which we all do on a regular basis. End of rant ;-)
OK, but some of us try harder than others.

Re: New Glock 27. Bitten by the bug.

I had the same concern with an XD40 which has the same (safety). That lasted about a day.

You will really have to be extremely conscious of the fact that
you have a hot gun and the "finger off the trigger" rule is paramount.
This also applies to re-holstering.

Give it some time and you should become more comfortable and hopefully you'll keep
one in the pipe, which IMO is imperative when carrying a gun for self defense.

As they say..The best safety is that gray squishy thing between your ears. ;-)
