People go on and on about glocks being unsafe but it’s kind of silly. Every najor manufacturer offers similar style pistols. In fact, They are overwhelmingly the largest percentage of pistols bought & carried. Glock, Sig, Ruger, Kimber, CZ, Beretta, FN, HK, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Taurus, Walter, Bersa, etc. all offer multiple pistols with the same “safe trigger” mechanism. They are not inherently unsafe. It is simply inattentiveness and user error. The same thing that can cause negligent discharges after a manual safety has been disengaged.

They [handguns without a safety] are not inherently unsafe. It is simply inattentiveness and user error.

If simple inattentiveness and user error puts a bullet through a femoral artery, the design is inherently unsafe.

That's misleading because most of those sales are to law enforcement and private security for both their on and off duty handguns.
