The post I was replying to said said:

My sister carries a Glock and all you have to do is breathe on it to make it go off

If you have Glocks then you know that isn't true even it it was said in jest. In fact they don't have "hair triggers" at all

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

Ignore reality? Any untrained operator handling any gun is more prone to ND (or AD) than someone with training. It's all
a matter of degree.

Yeah, I know they don’t have hair triggers. I kind of like the Glock trigger. All I am saying is that if someone IS negligent, or untrained, it is preferable to have a pistol with an external safety decocker.

I sometimes carry a Glock when I do carry. But when I was starting out, I didn’t have the confidence. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Glocks because they always work and I shoot ‘em well (for me).

Maybe I should have said “novice” instead of “untrained operator.”
