I disagree with the assesment of the Glock "reality." Yes it goes boom, it was designed to. Maybe it is not a good design for people who's reality doesn't include a chamber check. Then again, man before me and myself have been trying to keep from cutting themselves with their knives ever since someone knapped a rock. No matter what sheath and storage we all tried someone cut themselves. For eons we thought if we put guards on them, made better sheathes we could fix the problem, but no matter what we did we kept slicing the crap out of ourselves. So I can't change that reality so change the system I say! No more popping hairs, it is tactical folding butterknives from here on out for me!
I understand the concept of acceptable risk and I can understand why many would not like a glock due to lack of external safety. That said, I still carry one and I check the chamber often. The reality is the gun will discharge if Cond. I and the trigger is pulled. I treat the Glock with the same vigilance as every other pistol I own.
Glad to hear no one was hurt in this negligent act.
Excuse me now while I go blunt my Randall #1 on a belt sander, reality frightens me.
