There's a safety on the trigger and on the back of the grip. Edit: may have been mistaken about the safety on the back of the grip, but i seem to remember one being on the Glock 40 I fired some years ago. Some quick googling lead me to the wikipedia article on Glocks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_pistol#Safety They are plenty safe, imo. | ||

Interesting. Source? 2.) I feel like unless you were an extremely experienced shooter and also a fucking cyborg, shooting 10 rounds from a .50 Barrett in under 10 seconds would rip your arm off. 3.) Shooting isn't easy, and I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time shooting a fucking air plane. | ||

Well, I don't know the mechnical features of the weapon, but I thought Glock was wellknown for it's safety features? They ARE called "safe-action pistols." from their website, 3 types of safety: + Show Spoiler + TRIGGER SAFETY As the first of the three GLOCK “Safe Action” safety features, the trigger safety prevents inadvertent firing by lateral forces on the trigger. Releasing the trigger will automatically reactivate the safety. FIRING PIN SAFETY The GLOCK firing pin safety is a solid hardened steel pin which, in the secured state, blocks the firing pin channel, rendering the igniting of a chambered cartridge by the firing pin impossible. The firing pin safety is only pushed upward to release the firing pin for firing when the trigger is pulled and the safety is pushed up through the backward movement of the trigger bar. Releasing the trigger will automatically reactivate the firing pin safety. DROP SAFETY In the line of duty it may happen that a loaded pistol is dropped on the floor. Contrary to conventional pistols, the GLOCK drop safety prevents unintentional firing of a shot through hard impact. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar is guided in a precision safety ramp. The trigger bar is deflected from this ramp only in the moment the shot is triggered. XD | ||

Those guns have one and only purpose and that is killing human beings. I can't understand why they are common merchandise. I have my assault rifle for killing human beings. That's its only purpose that I have it for. Same with my Glock. The gun is used in situations where my life is in danger, and if it is, I will shoot to kill. If I am put in that situation where my life or my loved ones lives are in danger because some one wants to harm us, I wont hesitate to pull the trigger. I like shooting on the range and what not but, when it comes down to it, I bought the guns to defend myself and family. | ||
