Virtually *all* the accidental discharge stories that I have followed with Glocks are because someone had a finger on the trigger, or some other object was inside the trigger guard and activated the trigger. Glocks do what a pistol is supposed to do: fire when the trigger is pressed.

My 1911 and my Browning High Power are perfectly safe to carry with a round in the tube. I must pull the hammer back to make it fire. Both are inherently safer than the Plastic Bricks.

I'm agnostic when it comes to Glocks. I know lots of people who swear by them. I just never liked the ergonomics, the feel and the balance. I am grateful to Glock for keeping the 10mm alive and kicking; had it not been for Glock chambering a pistol in that cartridge, it would be a lot tougher to find food for my Delta Elite.

As far as a service/carry pistol, I'll stick with CZ or Colt, not because I believe they're inherently *better* than Glock, just that they're better for me. To each his own. I'm a firm believer that the best firearm is the most reliable one you have, in the most potent caliber you can handle that you can have with you when you need it.

Perhaps I'm misreading your post but it sounds like you're saying that you carry a 1911 with a round chambered and hammer down:"..I must pull the hammer back to make it fire. This is not safe.

The 1911 should be carried in condition 1: Hammer cocked safety on if a round is in the chamber.

Forgive me If I misinterpreted what you were trying to say but for the benefit of others here's a link to the proper way to carry a 1911.

I believe the newer Brownings HP have a firing block so hammer resting on a live round shouldn't be a problem.
