You do realize that just about every other gun manufacturer has come out with striker fire pistols to compete against Glock in the gun market. So there have been several self inflicted gunshots over the years with many other guns. I think it’s just that Glock leg just sounds better then using another company name. But no matter what gun someone shoots themself with, 99.99% of the time it’s the shooters fault, not the gun.
I remember when the wonder 9s were hitting the market in the 80s. There were a lot of hammer fired guns that people were having NDs. This was most often with guns that had decockers. For some reason people just didn’t like to see that hammer fall so, they would try to pull the trigger and use their thumb to lower the hammer.
Lots a ND. But no one came up with a silly name for it.
But this topic is not about people shooting them selves. It about manual safeties on striker fire guns. Most often it’s a person that likes a manual safety on a striker fire guns that will come up with all kinds of reasons that the manual safety is needed. When someone debunks one of his reasons or just points out how far fetched some of these reasons are, they start to argue.
Now for the ones that like striker fire guns without a manual safety, most of them will tell you that it’s up to the person to decide. And that a person should use what he, or she is most comfortable and confident with. Pretty much there is no argument other then people trying to push their beliefs and views on others. Or to justify their decision.
Like I’ve said before, it’s up to you to decide what is best for you.
