There are plenty of good striker pistols out there with real safeties. Don't vote knothead, it only encourages them. Anonymous "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

There are plenty of good striker pistols out there with real safeties. I wouldn't own anything but a Glock. Well, I do own a Ruger blackhawk 45LC, so I guess that's not exactly true... Then again, I know a thing or two about safety. You know, such things as muzzle awareness and trigger discipline... Foreign concepts, I know....

Sig, FN, Ruger make far safer striker fired pistols than any Glock. Don't vote knothead, it only encourages them. Anonymous "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

And glocks have that great safety feature where you pull the trigger while removing the slide....

Never seen a car crank it's self and have a wreck and I've never seen a glock (or any other firearm for that matter) go boom without the trigger being manipulated either by a finger or any other foreign object that finds itself into the trigger guard. But know this, a loaded glock is going boom if you pull the trigger.

Even among people who are careful, the guns can go off upon being holstered, like say a cord from a jacket happens to get in the trigger guard while the gun's being holstered. I went with a H&K P30LS, and yes it's got a safety. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Hell, reading comprehension and posting on the Internet seems to tax their capabilities so I wouldn't expect too much from them in more complex situations. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
