If you don't want to use a holster, or can't, use a Saf-T-Blok, as needed.
That's not as much as a Ruger, but it's on par with a lighter DA revolver such as a target or slicked up S&W action.
The J-frame isn't constantly partially cocked. There is a hammer block that rests between the hammer and the frame until the trigger is pulled. And with the internal hammer J-frame guns that means a somewhat heavy, long, traditional double action trigger pull.What's the difference between carrying a Glock with one in the pipe and a S&W J frame with no external hammer?
For a Glock to fire from being dropped, the following parts would have to be compromised....but there is absolutely no way you could drop a Centennial hard enough to cause it to fire.
Sure does. Click and enjoy.......Putting an external safety on a Glock makes as much sense as putting one on a DA revolver
Yup--pretty much sums it up for me. I only start to bristle when someone feels the need to rationalize/justify their "want" by trying to prove that Glocks aren't safe.I suppose this falls into the category of "you are the one who has to shoot and operate it so do whatever the hell you want."
The Glock has the safety in the trigger and even if a finger-like object gets in there and catches it, it still requires a good five pounds on a two-stage trigger to set off.
Also, another thing to consider is that if a criminal gets ahold of your gun, the presence of a manual safety might slow him down for a few seconds and give you a chance to get the gun back or run away.
Honestly, I have always thought the little flapper on the trigger was simply a marketing gimmick... Just there so Glock could claim to have one more safety feature.
The Glock is an extremely safe gun and simply cannot fire unless the trigger is fully squeezed.
I don't understand this need to lock the trigger.
The grip safety is a good system. However, that safety is turned off when you grip the gun.
