Does this equation make sense to you guys; Glock = Box-fed double-action revolver
Ed You sure it isn't Glock= box fed loudly suppressed machine gun? Isn't that what I wrote? Ed

It should be Glock = Fugly brick that goes bang.

make it a hole to remember.

I love the idiot's logic of a pistol needing a safety, so he can yank on the trigger and not worry about it going off.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Wildbill59: It seems ignorant to me that you would jump to an anti-Glock conclusion based on an ambiguous news article like you linked to!
Ignorance is bliss - I hear some tell.
I have been around Glock pistols for more than 25 years now both professionally and privately and have as yet to see or hear of any of the many hundreds I have been around and fired alongside "goes off all by itself"!
I own and carry Glocks (note the plural) to this day, both privately and professionally.
NOTHING in the article you linked to nor in your "sensation" seeking post header gives me cause for concern in the least.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy Hold onto your panties dude. The title was sarcasm. Of course guns don't go off unless the trigger isn't pulled except in rare instances.

Hug, you can own "my" Glock. I'll take a real safety any day. Sig, FN, Ruger make far safer striker fired pistols than any Glock. So how would a safety make a difference in this situation? He pulled the trigger on a loaded gun while his hand was in front of the muzzle. Here's a hint (It's NOT the gun's fault) With my single action 1911 and the thumb safety on I can pull the trigger all I want and the firearm is not going to go boom nor when I holster it will anything coming into contact with the trigger cause it to go boom. Many of the polymer pistols have de-cockers and even thumb safeties as well. Glocks are just unsafe pistols especially for the neophytes. I would never own a Glock even if it was the last pistol on earth. After shooting a 1911 all these years I'm sure I would shoot myself with a Glock as well. I can recall two AD's with 1911's within a several month period in one military unit I was with in the late '60's. It's not the gun.
