Great. Glocksidental discharges everywhere. Bring back the 1911 updated by Wilson Combat or other premier MFGs. I carry a Glock....I just don’t trust rooks, privates, or new gun owners that have little to no training. Great firearm, but you have to have your game on and be on point all the time.

Exactly.
A manual safety is a 'must' on a service sidearm.

More discharges because more people (more COPS) are carrying them. There’s no shortage of 1911 NEGLIGENT discharges, either. Glock owners just never say, “Don’t worry, the safety’s on.” before shooting themselves.

Pull trigger, goes boom.
Don’t pull trigger, doesn’t go boom.

There’s no “I pulled the trigger because I thought it would not go boom” BS.

Agreed. Glock is the wrong choice as a service pistol, as the only so called “safety” is on the trigger. Bad choice for privates to carry. While Glock is a great pistol, bad choice when you want something to be “Joe” proof. Anything that has ever been described as “Joe” proof, or indestructible, just hand to a band of young privates and they will prove you wrong. Agreed again on the choice of an M1911 type .45; their a a few that are hi cap now. Just my 2 centavos.
