A safety doesn't slow down a shooter that knows how to use their weapon. I do love my Glock and XD but my 1911 was my competition gun and I never felt that my times were slower due to the safety. I was actually faster with my 1911 than either my Glock or XD.

True. The safety is clicked off as you're bringing the gun on target. There is no time lost with a practiced shooter.

Then why have it if it's clicked off as you are bringing it to target?

How many Glocks have gone off while holstered due to not having a safety?

There was a guy that used to shoot matches with a club I was in and he shot himself through the calve while holstering his Glock. Granted it was operator error that caused the incident not the gun or holster. It didn't happen at our match it happened while he was at work. LE and shooting a qualification course.

Actually a glock has 3 safeties although all are internal. The glock will not fire unless the trigger is fully depressed. Naturally, like with any firearm, accidents do happen.

What I meant was easily understood.
