Handled and fired a Glock for the first time yesterday. It wasn't a bad experience but I will stay with my FEG PJK 9HP.
I am a little confused by the trigger safety. It seems to me that, for the most part, all guns are safe until you pull the trigger.
My FEG has the thumb safety near the back of the pistol which prevents the trigger from dropping the hammer and the slide from sliding, M-1 carbine has lever near the trigger guard that prevents trigger pull, My Remington pump actions (30.06, .35 and .22) all have a button that pushes from left to right (and visa versa) side of the trigger guard that prevents trigger pull. These all make sense to me - they prevent the trigger from being pulled accidently.
It seems that with the Glock that if something hooked inside the trigger guard and against the trigger an AD may well result.
What am I missing?
