Skans said:For a gun that has been around since the 1980's, I do have to wonder why Glock never came out with a model that has a decocker/thumb safety.
As I understood it, Glock has made such an item.
I understand Gaston Glock to have had some very specific notions about what US consumers should be able to buy from Glock, but that he was more open minded about how he might fill state agency requests.
Many [equivalents of] model 17s with a thumb safety and improved grip shape were sold in the US, but they were sold by Ruger.
[To anyone inclined to be upset by the observation, that was levity.]
