The Glock is an inherently safe firearm. The accidents I've read about involve operator error, not problems with the gun. It has no external safety, so if you press the trigger when there is a round in the chamber, the gun will go off; just like it's supposed to. If you shoot +P+ rounds in it, like the manual recommends against doing, the gun may blow up on you; just as the laws of physics predict. However, even if you do this, the strength of the gun's frame may safe your hand. Glocks have a tendency to blow up and out, away from the shooter. I've seen pictures of blown-up Gocks with the trigger jammed into the guard by the force of the explosion. In other words, the frame took the blow instead of the shooter's hand.

I heard a story about a cop who hung his glock from a coathook in a bathroom stall by the trigger guard. He bumped the gun and it emptied the entire magazine before it stopped twirling around. And nobody got hurt...

Not sure it is true, but it does make an amusing story!
