Each of you knows exactly what I meant to say. From the Wikipedia definition: “The detachable magazine is often controversially referred to as a clip.”

Further, since I specifically mentioned that Glocks are manufactured to not go off accidentally, it should be quite obvious that I was referring to the lack of MANUAL safeties. I don’t personally give a crap whether by calling them “safeties,” Glock chooses to emphasize that it has three internal mechanisms to obviate the need for manual safeties. The point I was making was that the Glock was NOT manufactured to have an exposed trigger.

I don’t know what it is with certain gun fans and the need to get hung up on matters of terminology. I know the army drills this in to people (”This is my pistol; this is my gun.”) No, sarge: A pistol is a handGUN.
