Why would you want a safety, you don’t want one on your revolvers. The whole point of a striker fired pistol is not having a safety while avoiding the “crunch tick” DA/SA trigger. A single action pistol will have a better trigger with a safety. A striker fired pistol with a safety makes no sense IMO.
I'm surprised no one has pointed out that the Glock 19 HAS a safety in the face of the trigger.

As Colonel Cooper observed, that's rather like taping the combination to your safe above the dial. No point in locking it. Likewise, no point in having a safety if it's on the face of the trigger.
And striker fired guns don't need one, as they defeat their purpose.
One unerring mark of the love of the truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant. John Locke, 1690
Sure not not trying to start an argument here as many of you know a lot more about striker fired guns than I will ever know but carrying one in condition one, without a safety scares me to death. The ones I own that don't have a safety get carried without a round chambered & I'll take my chances, my other guns, S&W 2.0 with a safety I carry condition one, also with my Browning Hi Power & my 1911's, but again, not the guns with the so called trigger safety. To me that isn't a safety & I'll let you more experienced guys explain it to me. Don't know that I've heard of anyone shooting themselves in the leg with their gun that has a safety but I sure have heard of guys shooting themselves with striker fired guns without a true safety. Take it easy with the name calling, I'm a life long shooter, USPSA shooter & have taken a lot of big game with revolvers. I shoot 3-4 times a week but again, those striker fired guns with no safety scare the hell out of me. Talk to me.

It's about the world's most famous "shot in the leg with a 1911" video and a 1911 has more than 1 safety.

That said - the best safety is still keeping your booger hook out of the trigger - as my old gun safety instructor used to say.
Just my opinion, the invention of the Striker Control Device and kydex holsters give me as much or more confidence in the Glock trigger tab safety than a thumb safety, especially ambi thumb safeties. And one of my 2.0's had the thumb safety that was so mushy, it would easily bump off safe.
I know the G19 won't fire unless something presses the trigger, I keep my finger off the trigger until on target, keep my thumb on the SCD while holstering and once it's in the kydex holster, nothing can press the trigger.
I like the Glock 19 well enough that I've got two of them but I agree that the "so called trigger safety" is not much of a safety.
It was put on the trigger face just so they could say they had another safety mechanism on it. Everyone knows it's worthless as a safety device. About as worthless as a safe with the combo taped above the dial.

Amazingly stupid bit of non-think you've reposted.
I always figured on a Glock the holster is the safety, closing firmly as it does around the trigger guard.

It's a quote from Colonel Jeff Cooper. He was commenting on the uselessness of the Glock trigger safety. I think it's apt.

Either you misquoted Jeff or he was having a stroke when he wrote that. Personally I believe the former.
