Glock Carry Condition?

[MarkL]

Like SS said, a Glock does not have a hammer or a manual safety. You do not have the option of hammer down/cocked or safety on/off.

Your only practical choice is whether or not to have a round in the chamber. If not, you would have to rack the slide or bluff.

The lack of a manual safety combined with a relatively light trigger (compared to a conventional double-action mechanism) has led to a disproportionate number of "accidental" shootings by police officers and others. I don't really understand why police departments continue to use Glocks. I guess they're easier to train for.
