well its pretty much a guarantee the gun wont go off unless u pull the trigger. aka dont pull the trigger.
the trigger safety along with the grip safety makes it very difficult to fire per say
holstering can be done with out the grip safety depressed.
a safety is another thing to remember that might slip ur mind in the "heat" of a situation.
a very large % of police forces are confident enough to carry glocks and glocks do not have the (huge in my mind) benefit of the grip safety
if ur not comfortable with it dont buy one.. what are u looking for us to say?
well said.
may i add: the gun
WILL NOT go off unless the trigger is pressed.
the XD has 2 safeties. one on the trigger, and one on the grip. whats the point of adding a "manual safety"? thats what we call a solution to a non existant problem.
now... there is a great advantage to having a "manual safety" like a 1911, but it has nothing to do with shooting yourself:
when someone gets your gun away from you they have to
consciencely take off the safety. in a fight or flight stage thier instinct will be to just pull the trigger, but guess what... it wont fire untill they
consciencely take off the safety. so it saves you from being shot with your own gun... by
someone else not
yourself[/].
a lot of LEO's are switching away from Glocks for just this reason.
