Glock 26 w/safety??

[FranklyTodd]

Chatted up a guy at the range with a G26 with Caminolli aftermarket safety.

I good-naturedly gave him the rib I've often read here: if you wanted a manual safety, why not just buy a gun designed to have a safety??

He said: like what?

Anyone know of a 9mm gun as small/accurate/reliable as a G26 that comes with a factory safety standard?? I looked just for kicks and everything I could find was larger than the G26...

I'll have to admit, it was a nice setup, fit & finish looked pretty good...

The XD ads a Grip safety...

I believe that the Taurus PT-111 has a thumb safety and as far as I know is a good pistol, that said, If I thought that I needed a thumb safety on my G26 for a CCW, then the Comonolli (sp) is what I would prefer as well.

Here is another interesting Glock safety.

If I hadn't already put a Cominolli on my 23, I would sure have one of them.

The CZ 2075 Rami is smaller and comes with a manual safety.

see that is one thing that taurus has going for it, small hicap hadguns with manual safeties, there are people out there that want them and there is a market out there, i don't see why more companies don't do that.

as far as the taurus series go i don't know how good they are in the accuracy and in the reliability department, it is hard for me to believe that they would run with a glock, even if thy did i doubt as long and as good as glock. they are small and a great size though!

If you can't remember to keep your finger off the trigger every time, what makes you think you'll remember to engage a manual safety every time?

Very happy with my unmolested G26.

Looks like a nice piece! For some reason it was off my radar. So, what would you rather have, a Cominolli-equipped G26, or the CZ? And please don't waste time or bandwidth on: Glock w/o safety - not an option on this survey!

From those two, the CZ 2075 RAMI.

Other safety-equipped options are the Taurus Millenium Pro and the Springfield EMP.

It's not my Finger, or my Memory I'm worried about.

It's the strap on my holster, or the draw-string on my jacket, or any number of other things that cause folks to shoot themselves with "unmolested" Glocks!

Besides, I have Mexican Carried a C&L 1911 more miles then I can count.
A loaded Glock stuffed down my pants makes me Pee them just thinking about it!

Then get a better holster(like an open-top Kydex IWB, which I really like), cut off the draw-string on your jacket, and quit blaming the gun's design for shortcomings in support gear and operator training, sez I.

Let's face it - all guns are designed to fire when loaded and the trigger is pressed, Glock/SIG/H&K/S&W/Beretta/1911/XD notwithstanding, and fundamentally speaking, any safety mechanism consists of one or more moving parts which are subject to wear, improper fitting/installation, and breakage. Anything made by human hands which is touted as "foolproof" can still be broken/circumvented by a big enough fool(maybe "fool-resistant" would be a better term? ).
