> There is no safety and the trigger is very light.

Where do you get that impression? A Glock has 3 passive safeties (trigger, firing pin, trigger bar) but you’re right in that all are deactivated when the trigger is pulled. Nor IMO is 5.5# light.

All of this is academic as we have here an idiot without CCW permit who waves a loaded firearm about in a grocery; don’t blame the arrow...

“Nor IMO is 5.5# light.”

It is when compared to a DA revolver. It’s almost impossible to accidentally discharge a revolver, but not a Glock. The force required to get it out of your pants is greater than the force needed to pull the trigger. (It’s also a whole lot less than the force needed to discharge a pistol with an engaged manual safety.)

I have a ported Glock 17 and a Para-Ordinance LDA. Both have triggers in the five pound range. Neither is a good concealed carry weapon in Florida. LCP or LCR in the pocket is a better choice.
