My sister carries a Glock and all you have to do is breathe on it to make it go off. A neighbor of ours and retired police officer shot his television with his. He said all he did was pick it up. My husband traded for one and was afraid to sell it so he eventually sold it to a police officer as a personal gun, very cheap. I’m afraid of them.

Yep those Glocks just go off by themselves all the time..

BANG..there goes one now. Must be the neighbor next store.

BANG..there goes another one, must be the guy across the street. I heard he had a cold he must have sneezed on his.

BANG..there goes mine. Must be those darn sunspots. I hate it when that happens.

I have several Glocks, and I like them.

But Glocks are more prone to AD by untrained operators. No question. To suggest otherwise is to ignore reality.

An external safety decocker helps if one commits the mortal sin of pulling the trigger without being on target. I know some experienced shooters who hate Glocks for this reason.

No, No, it's when you holster them, so it's all Milt Sparks' fault!

Actually that's not true. Friends don't let friends use Fobus.

I didn’t say anything about them going off on their own. All cases were an accidental discharge caused by human error. I was being flippant about breathing on them. The point was that they seem to be easier to accidently discharge than some other brands of gun.
