Yes, but...

I shuddered when police departments started carrying Glocks..with no
external safeties..and my fears have been warranted...

(shrug) they're often replacing revolvers, which also have no external
safeties. If a cop is gonna squeeze the trigger while the loud end is
pointed the wrong place, they're gonna do the same with an external
saftied pistol.


Big difference between a long double action trigger pull on a
revolver..and that .25 inch pull on a Glock.
Google "glock police accidental shootings" and read a
few....brrrrrrr.....

Not a Glock problem, it's an operator problem. And it's "negligent
discharge" far as I'm concerned, not "accidental".

Very true indeed.

Remember boys and girls...finger OFF the ****ing trigger until you are
absolutely positively sure you want it to go bang!!!
Its NOT a finger rest.....

Yup. All the external safeties in the world won't prevent stupidity.

Not with any tool, from firearms to table saws.
