Whenever someone suggests putting a manual safety on a Glock, I kind of want to punch them in the throat. But I would be okay with a grip safety.
So for those who hate Glock because of no manual safety, would a grip safety suffice? And for those who already love Glocks just the way they are, would the addition of a grip safety be a negative, positive, or neutral for you? |

Unecessary parts just lead to problems. One of our own Arfcommer's who was in a self defense shooting had his hand injured in the shooting and couldn't grip his pistol properly to disengage the grip safety on (I want to say it was a 1911). He'd probably gotten the dirt bag had that not happened as I understand it. |
| I have always been of the mindset, if I pull the trigger, I want it to fire, period. I don't want a magazine disconnect, and I don't want a manual safety, hell I don't want a chamber flag either. A proper holster, round chambered and not being a idiot are all that's needed. (about the round chambered, leave it chambered unless cleaning and you never have to wonder) |

Terrible idea. I forgot the member here but his 1911 grip safety almost got him killed. He got shot in the hand and couldn't actuate it. No thanks. Quoted:
Those people still won’t carry with one in the chamber. |

Last month I got my 1st XD, a used 4" Mod 2 .45 (for a steal) and I have discovered the grip safety is a non issue. So, no, it wouldn't bother me if my Glocks had grip safeties. In particular, there is NO way I would pull trigger on my G36 WITHOUT a firm grip upon the frame, that little sumbitch would fly out of my hand otherwise.

I also remember the bad guy hearing the 1911 safety cluck off which started it all or that’s what was mentioned in his original post. Dan Wesson 10mm I think. Could be wrong it was ages ago. |

We have a member that was involved in a defensive shooting. If I remember right he was unable to return fire because he got shot in the hand and couldn't engage the grip safety... I may be remembering wrong. I believe it was a XD. EDIT: Beat....

Iirc it was a long time ago I read it first On a 1911 forum he either had blood on his off hand or was injured in that too.
