Mac and Ed thanks for the insight. Makes sense what you say and I get the value of having safeties on police weapons, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of having a safety to keep a pistol going off after it has bean disassembled. I witnessed a couple of accidental discharges in my life (never from a gun of mine) but anytime I went to clean or put away a firearm, take out mag empty or check chamber, it is second nature and like you guys I'm sure do it in our sleep. So I can't help but feel that maybe could there have been a lack of training on the part of the German police? I find that hard to fathom.
