  • Glocks having no safety is a misconception. Besides the drop safety and fire pin safety, there is a trigger safety (sometimes jokingly called a dingus) that you have to press before the trigger itself can be pulled. However, the safety is right on the trigger itself, where you can disengage the safety and pull the trigger in one motion. So I guess is where the reputation that Glocks have no safety comes from?

    Having a safety generally speaking isn’t a legal requirement. Many revolvers, for example, doesn’t have a separate switch/button you have to toggle before you pull the trigger. The heavy force required to pull the (double action) trigger fully is deemed safe enough. If that’s safe enough for you or not is a personal judgement for yourself, but this has been the case for about a century. Most modern firearms do have a safety though.
