sear safeties

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.
