I'm not aware of any features that make one semi-automatic pistol without a manual safety any safer than another similar design made by a different company. Trigger pull and/or travel would be about the only feature that would make one brand without a manual safety any safer than another. From all the specs I've read and from personal experience, the 26 has a similar trigger pull to an M&P, Ruger SR series or XD which means they are all equally safe or equally not safe. It all comes down to the operator.In my opinion, Glock is the safest pistol on the market
A double action revolver has a harder pull than Glock, and would be safer for that reason. Aside from dropping/AD safety, what safety does a Glock have? The late Jeff Cooper said that thingy on the trigger is a gimmick, and he couldn't imagine a circumstance where it would be effective.I used to worry about the lack of a manual safety on my G26, too, but I eventually realized that it's as safe as a double action revolver to carry - it won't go off until the trigger is pulled. Two things Glocks absolutely require, though, are the trigger discipline NOT to put a finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, and a good holster that covers the trigger so it doesn't get snagged by anything.
Flame away, but if you're not smart enough to use a safety, what are you doing carrying a gun?
What other safety do you need? If you don't pull the trigger, it won't go off. What's the problem?Aside from dropping/AD safety, what safety does a Glock have?
Well if that was the opinion of a well-known and respected human being, it must be inerrantly true.The late Jeff Cooper said that thingy on the trigger is a gimmick, and he couldn't imagine a circumstance where it would be effective.
