If Winchester was the gun that won the west,
although in reality, it was more likely the shotgun,
then Glock is the gun that won the world,

Too bad he didn't invent a safety for his pistols before he died.

The best safety is to not have a round in the chamber.
Revolvers don't have safeties. Nor did flintlocks or
caplocks. Many early rifles came sans safety.
It's a wonder all the Glock owners haven't shot themselves.

Many did, especially cops when pulling or putting their Glock in the holsters while sitting in their patrol cars. Several NYC cops shot themselves in the butt accidently. Glock started installing stiffer trigger springs after that referred to as the "New York trigger". It still isn't a safety though.Originally Posted by dogtag
Most revolvers have a hammer block so keeping one fully chambered/loaded isn't a problem as far as dropping the pistol or etc.

I saw one lamestream media report that tried to paint him as a "merchant of death".
Well, he helped kill the 1911.
