As I read over these posts, I can understand better the attitude that Fairburn had with regards to safeties on handguns. He didn't like them and even had them pinned in place on the Colt automatics his police force used (though not the grip safeties). He probably would have loved Glocks, especially in .45 ACP.
On the other hand, his gun handling methods included chamber empty carry and a threat response of draw, chamber and start firing--as fast as possible. His officers also turned in their firearms at the end of every shift and handed over the next shift, so they went through the weapons clearing drill every day. He also had holes drilled in magazines so the cartridge count could be verified.
