sear safeties

[gunbugs]

The reasonable argument, if you have been trained on Glocks, or gone to Glock Armorers class, is that Glocks have plenty of safeties already. And, as we are taught in the most basic safety classes, at the beginning, to NEVER have our finger on the trigger unless we are going to discharge the weapon. If you don't pull the trigger on a Glock, it won't go off. Conversely, if you pull the trigger on a Glock, you can rest assured that it will discharge, if there is a live round in the chamber. No additional safeties are needed on a Glock, unless you are stupid enough to pull the trigger on a live round, when you don't intend to, which I don't understand. But an additional mechanical safety won't keep you from doing that.

And I will note that while I think a Glock is a fine firearm, and generally VERY reliable, I do not own one, because I just don't care for them. Much the same as I don't care for Pepsi.

Agree completely. My son likes Glocks but, like you, they do nothing for me.

The only handguns I own that are striker fired are my Lugers. Every other handgun I own has a hammer, most exposed but a few with them internally.

I'm not sure I understand the heartache over the sear safety on a police luger. It is what is known as a "passive" safety and requires no manipulation by the user, you don't have to turn it on, or turn it off, plus it is dead simple, just a piece of spring steel and a rivet. If it bothers you a WHOLE bunch, you can remove it without much trouble.

No heartache whatsoever. Just expressing an opinion that it's the solution to a problem that would have been better addressed with training. I own a couple of Lugers with the sear safety and have no intension of removing them. They're part of the gun's history.
