LEO shoots his leg defending himself against Precious.

That's why defensive tactics involve big, stupid movements vs fine motor skills (one example is racking the slide vs using the slide stop).

Expound on this please.

Expound on this please.

It's simple, after loading a mag, using the slide stop to release the slide is a fine motor skill (thumb pushing a tiny button). Racking the slide manually is a gross motor skill and much easier to do under stress.

I always knew we trained to do it that way, but the "why" must have slipped by me on that one. I figured it had something to do with reliability, like just dropping the slide might not fully chamber a round in some firearms. Now it makes more sense.

I would say that with the sheer number of Glocks out there, that there will be some mishaps. Seems like police get trained on proper gun safety but situations still happen.

This has nothing to do with Glocks and everything to do with training and reductions in standards.

My God- Gaston Glock has designed a pistol that FIRES WHEN THE TRIGGER IS PULLED!










.....and doesn't fire when it's not.

FWIW, I love Glocks. People do have accidents though, it happens with various guns not just Glocks. Glock didn't invent the AD/ND I think redundancy is good when it comes to safety. The Glock has 3 safeties already, adding a 4th can help but it doesn't replace education. Training has always been important.

is this thread serious? are people actually advocating that one gun is more predisposed than another to making the owner F up?

its a conspiracy-trolling competition


Is there a gun that doesn't go bang if you pull the trigger while its aimed at your leg? rofl
