Since the advent of widespread LE use in America, the Glock has been responsible for far too many NDs.
Um, wrong. The GLOCK is nothing more than a hunk of plastic and metal. It is responsible for nothing.

I disagree. A 1911's trigger has a much shorter stroke and normally a lighter lighter break. For example, two out of my three Kimbers have <4lb triggers, and very little takeup (.050" or so?). Neither one have had a trigger job.Carrying a Glock is like carrying a 1911 cocked and unlocked.
I agree. I dropped a CnL'ed Kimber once. Catching it resulted in a hole in a subwoofer, and a rather large hole in the box.Should you ever accidently drop it (while loaded) let it fall to the ground rather than attempt to "catch" it, perhaps inadvertantly allowing finger to enter triggerguard w/ resultant BOOM
I agree. It would appear that too many officers cant keep their booger hooks off the bang switches.Um, wrong. The GLOCK is nothing more than a hunk of plastic and metal. It is responsible for nothing.
You are right! I just took mine apart and noticed as you pull the trigger, the plate moves back and then down. Very interesting. I sort of had a feeling it just wouldn't move down anyway, but now that I look at it, it most certainly couldn't just drop. It would have to move back and then down. I am sure the striker pressure would keep it from just randomly moving backwards without some decent trigger pressure. Nice.The Glock is BASICALLY a DA. The striker is not fully cocked untill you pull the trigger.
Remember the High Road. As long as you don't have anything else in that pocket, it isn't going anywhere. Sure you could throw yourself down and into the corner of a desk and it might go off. But for that matter an astaroid could fall out of the sky and hit you too.Yes, and if you have anything between your ears, you would never carry a chambered Glock in your pocket without a holster. IF you have anything between your ears.
KEEP YOUR BOOGER HOOK OFF THE BANG SWITCH!
Place your thumb at the back of slide when holstering... that should help keep your palm off the back of the grip and still let you press down.
Glocks aren't for everyone. If you feel uncomfortable with it, then it's not the right sidearm for you.
