I couldn’t agree more.

Something about an exposed hammer makes me feel safer. I want to know that the hammer is not pulled back, I want to know that the gun is in an abolute safe state - by a means that I can directly see.

Yes, I will freely acknowledge that Glocks are well made, that they are every bit as ‘safe’ as the Brownings, Taurus, Colt, etc semi-automatic pistol competition.

But, I find a supestitious affinity to seeing and being able to pull the hammer back with my thumb, or use my thumb and finger on the trigger to return the hammer to the rest position.

Do you make a habit of putting your finger on the trigger while pointing the gun at your leg?

LOL - Yeah!

Buying a Glock made me do 2 things:

1. Ask myself "Why did I ever sell my 1911?
2. Talk the guy who had my 1911 into trading it back for the Glock.

I've duty carried one for 11 years now, and in that time I can count on one finger the number of A.D. s for my agency. You gotta be smarter than your gun, plain and simple.
