Glocks. For some reason people accidentally hurt themselves with these all the time - including people who should know better:

You have to be just about the dumbest person ever to live if you shoot yourself while cleaning your gun.
I’ve got a variety of pistols including a Glock. The only way to hurt yourself or someone else by accident is by doing something very stupid.
vlad;
Now now, be nice to glocks-any pistol will potentially fire if the slide is forward enough to enable the sear...
Years ago (c1983) I was told by an Army instructor that teh M1911 had 4 safeties, name them:
Well, I got stumped and he smiled and said-”yep, teh half cock notch, teh grip safety,and teh thumb safety-what about teh disconnector?” an he proceeeded to ‘spalin that the pisto lwould not fire if the sldie was pushed back a fraction. He ten stated that this could be a life-saver if someone was threatening you with a 1911-simply pus the muzzle with your ahnd to disable it!!!!!
I challenged him to prove it-after he cleared it, I cleared it, I held it cocked and off safe and he tried to prevent the hammer from falling by pushing on the muzzle. I simply let him push my hand back, while I pulled the trigger. Hammer fell. He made me do about a million push-ups for “insubordination...”.
I enjoyed that session with my face in the Benning red clay more than he would have imagined.
He was an idiot, just as Mr. Glines apparently is.
