I just added a Glock 22 to my (modest) collection. I shot it straight from the box, and scored bulleyes on my first two shots (from 12 yards out). I kept shooting it the rest of the day, and was more accurate with it, with all kinds of ammo (Winchester, some Wolf steel jacketed stuff, some Cor Bon, and some Remington Golden Speer), than with my other pistols. Not a single hiccup after about 300 rounds thru. I'm not an expert shooter yet, and I really liked the consistent trigger pull. That's the love part.
Now for the hate part.
First, the gun seems to have a nasty habit of spitting some red hot cartridge shells at my face. At least 3 or four either bounced off my safety glasses or my cheek. Does anyone else have this experience with Glocks? I'm reluctant to make it my nightstand gun right now because of this issue.
Second, my other handguns have external safeties. As far as I am concerned, the Glock has no safety, despite the advertising. I'm a little hesitant to keep one in the chamber in the Glock: even though I know it is pretty difficult to accidently pull the trigger, I'm still a little worried about an AD.
I'm torn. Does anyone know of a handgun that feels and shoots like the Glock, but has a safety/decocker? Has anyone gunsmithed theirs to add an external safety?

Or am I just being a knucklehead for being cautious with the gun that I hold/shoot the best?
