why not get one with, and just not use it?I'm waiting for one without a manual safety.
From a manual of arms standpoint, again, I prefer simplicity; a manual safety (regardless of use or lack thereof) introduces additional factors.
I really like your comment about the tactical advantage if you weapon gets away from you, that second or two could change everything.A manual safety provides some additional protection against AD/ND. We all can all be a little tired, a little rattled/angry, a little sleepy, even a little drunk sometimes, even without noticing it, so the 4 rules could use a bit of help. Some of us have kids too small to have extensive practice with the 4 rules but old enough to have unlimited playfulness and curiosity. Some of us have instincts and can attempt to catch a falling gun, or people nearby can try to catch it. We are humans, surrounded by humans, we all make mistakes and none of us is infallible.
A safety has a tactical advantage too - if somebody takes your weapon away from you, they will have to figure out how the safety works on your particular gun, which can give you a few precious seconds. Switching the safety off can be performed simultaneously with drawing the pistol, so it does not slow you down (if you practice that way). You can rest your thumb on the safety when firing, which gives you a very consistent and solid "high" grip.
I admit I do not like anything sticking out of my pistol, and I hate how it makes racking the slide more cumbersome than it should really be. But I am OK with that.
The next question would be why in Gods name would someone buy a Glock LOLOLOL !
Yes they do. Pull back and turn left on the knob on the back of the bolt................
