I wouldn't own a Glock. They are the most unsafe pistol I know. There are plenty of good striker pistols out there with real safeties.

I see nothing in that article that suggests it was a Glock... Trigger just up and pulled itself! I swear!

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....

Nothing states what model/make of pistol it is. Glock is an assumption.
As to their safety, I don't know of any that are safe to clean while loaded.

Cleaning a loaded gun? Could this be the cause?

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, he was cleaning it with a round in the chamber? And glocks have that great safety feature where you pull the trigger while removing the slide....

Yep!
Sounds like he failed to do what we're all taught to do...
Check the chamber each and everytime you pick up the gun...

All you have to be is smart enough not to pull the trigger on a loaded pistol, unless you want to shoot something. If you aren't that smart, you shouldn't own any pistol.

A glock along with all other guns are as safe as the person handling them. 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.

It's a world wide dumbest cop contest. Note, that the one in the OP was enough smarter than the general population of cops to have been promoted to Captain.

Never hear anybody biotch about M & P 's, and host of other pistols without a manual safety. Haters gotta hate.

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.

Rack the slide, drop the mag, and pull the trigger.. So simple to get out of sequence..

Some people just simply aren't capable enough to be trusted with firearms. They probably shouldn't be driving vehicles either. 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.
