On a Glock, couldn't you just not throw one
in the chamber?

No, no, no. That was only needed for SA revolvers w/o a transfer bar. It serves no purpose on modern SA's like Ruger's or any DA revolver.

As to GLOCK, load it full. Don't pull the trigger. Pretty simple. You wouldn't want to chance having a mis-feed while you are attempting to cycle the slide while the BG is running at you with a big knife.

grab the sides of the trigger. Pull it w/o depressing the little lever. It won't budge. There is a demonstration of the manual trigger blocking safety in action. Try that same thing w/ a DA revolver, it drops the hammer.

I'm not going to get into the worth/goodness of that. But it IS a manual safety, a very convenient one.
