What is the obsession with dropping the hammer?
Around here all the cops & security guards carry Glocks.
They came up with that term when one of them would shoot himself pushing the gun in his hoster & not taking his finger off the trigger.
It appears you don't like it but it happens.
If you rack the slide on a semi-auto with a magazine inserted and the slide doesn't lock back, doesn't that tell you something?!! I don't own a Glock but I've shot a bunch, and as far as I can remember, the slide always locked back if the magazine was empty. Am I missing something here?
I'm having trouble understanding how constantly berating the original poster is contributing to an adult discussion of firearms safety. He very obviously is aware of his carelessness. What does repeatedly emphasing this help?
It helps others feel superior to him by spouting off the proper procedure.
An important lesson for all Glock shooters. This is the same sequence that caused a Federal agent to shoot himself in the leg in front of a classroom of children(!) that went viral video some time ago. Especially with Glocks, where pulling the trigger is part of the diasassembly sequence, visually verify the chamber is empty before doing so!
I've had one ND also - a .22 AR I had unloaded the magazine from and then worked the bolt - which failed to extract and eject the round, so it fired when I dropped the hammer. No injuries, thank the Lord, but scared the Hell out of my brother and me!

The multiple racking of the slide habit serves as an overlapping safety habit... just in case...
