TreeDoc,
I would like to see a thumb safety on the Glocks like on the Colt M1911; if you do not want to use it, ok, just fire the Glock by using the "trigger safety' as it already is. I have known agents to shoot a DA revolver in their holsters on the 7-yard timed fire PPC course. Yes, they did not keep their fingers off the trigger until they cleared leather. These were folks who qualified twice a year and were not listening to instructions before they went to the line.
With the Glock 17 and 19 we had two accidental discharges, one person holstered up with finger on the Glock trigger and just missed their right foot. Another person fired their Glock in the holster at the start of the 12 round, 30 second 7-yard stage and clipped their right butt cheek. A thumb safety would "cover" those less than well conditioned handgun shooters and cover savvy guys in gravest extreme. If a shooter chose not to use the thumb safety, then that is their call, but right now it is not an option. It is like seatbelts in your car, use them if you desire.
