I think CP's point is that it is a weapon where the "safety/combat readiness" decisions went as far as possible to "combat readiness."

I like the Glock, but I have to agree with Chancellor Palpatine and Charles Martel--it is NOT a weapon for carriage by less-than-excruciatingly-well-trained persons. I had eight years of weapons safety training beaten into me by the Marine Corps--but I wouldn't run out and buy a Glock without spending an entire weekend performing the Manual of Arms (Pistol) with it.

Bingo.

I can't think of to many better things to do on a weekend, (or every weekend.)
