1. So we hear from the crowd that basically wants handguns banned again...
In fact, the gun’s safety features — extremely effective in preventing discharges if the gun is dropped or hit — automatically are turned off every time the trigger is depressed.

A Glock is dangerous only in the hands of a person who is either an idiot or who hasn't been checked out on it. It has a feather-light pull... so what? Ever try to keep the sights on the mark with a handgun that has a very stiff pull? Damned near impossible. :eyes:

Glock went to a lot of trouble to make a handgun that wouldn't discharge when dropped. That earns them a lot of credit in my book. You only have to have been around when a handgun falls and hits the floor and goes off to appreciate a Glock.
