The ONLY way to make a Glock go off is to pull the trigger.

Or have it snag on something while it's being holstered. Etc.

Glocks are perfectly safe secure in your holster, and presented in your hand. But the transitions from holster to presentation and reverse provide some unique....challenges. About the same as if you never used the safety on a 1911 and just left it chambered and cocked at all times. Safe in your holster, safe in your hand....but going from on to the other...WATCH OUT!

Your correct....safe action....not double action trigger.

Do ya remember the toy dart pistols we had as kids. The one with the rubber tip that stuck to yer little sisters forehead. Find one of those and pull the trigger. Now , unload, clear and safe a glock, and pull the trigger.......same friggin spoing spoing spoing noise. The gun not yer little sister........:o)

Stay safe Bro !

I might as well wade into the fray.

I don't expect myself to buy a Glock. I know there are a lot of fans out there but I have the pretty guns I want and like. I don't see a reason to buy an ugly a$$ gun that uses the same caliber.

That said, I don't think the .45 GAP is truly a replacement for the .45 Auto. Since Glock is a International company, it may be trying to replace the .45 Auto Short. Never heard of it? In countries such as Italy, Mexico and France[It figures], ordinary citizens can't buy firearms chambered for Military weapons. Hence the .45 Short which is a silly little Millimeter shorter.
