Glocks are very common in actual cop and military use and have no real safety (just a small anti-snag thing on the trigger).

The Glock also has a mechanism on the grip that must be depressed. The only way to make the gun go off is to hold it like you’re going to shoot it and pull the trigger.

They have this because too many people got shot while in danger, and they couldn’t get the safety off their gun.

there are people who carry with no safety mechanism whatsoever

Really? What kind of gun doesn’t have a safety? They’ve been a part of firearms since the 19th century. You have to go back to the age when craftsmen made guns to find them without safeties.

I’m honestly hard pressed to think of a better set of rules than the four rules of gun safety.

As I understand it safeties on auto-loading pistols were developed to stop the gun from firing when dropped, so that they’re as safe to carry as a revolver.

Also seriously don’t trust any gun to be safe, ever, seriously.

Pretty much every law enforcement agency carry Glocks, which don’t have a manual safety.
