No wonder why my Glock has no external safeties. It's the safest gun on the market.

No even close. There have been so many Negligent Discharges from Glocks due to lack of training that when gun people hear of an ND the assumption is that it involves a Glock. You'll notice that I stated a lack of training. There is nothing wrong with the safety designs of the Glocks. It's the owners who can't keep their fingers off the triggers.

My favorite story of a Glock is the officer who enter the washroom stall and then hung the Glock from the door hook like he had when he used a revolver. The mag was emptied and all 15 shoots discharged. Some of the rounds went through the ceiling and through the upper floor. It's funny because no one was hurt.

By safest gun I mean it doesn't fire unless you pull the trigger, and it will fire when you pull the trigger. A home intruder rushing you and you having to fumble with the safeties or some plastic bullet that has jammed your gun doesn't sound very safe to me. Safe for the criminal maybe.
