Thinking about making my GLOCK into a carry gun

[gunman41mag]

I didn't even make it to the external safety part for a while -- I got stuck laughing about the ridiculous notion that you would use a Glock as a carry gun. But then to think you could do so with the simple addition of a safety? Oh, j00 keel me! Too funny. Between that and all the (*) and koolaid peddling...

This thread just keeps on delivering.

I was such a fool, to think I can make a glock act like the GREAT 1911

I don't really care about whether or not the OP destroys his Glock with a crappy aftermarket safety, but I would like to chime in here to ask...

What is 'butthurt'?

Caution Language
Urban Dictionary: ButtHurt

This is why I never took this thread seriously. You continuously bash guns that don't have frame mounted safeties

I was going to wait to make this post #125 but it may never get said. As a wise INGOer once (and really,many more times than that) said.

Don't coonfinger your gun.

Admitting your problem is the first step toward recovery.

Too Close for Comfort!

I worry more about some one else finger on the trigger of my glock, not mine own

You will let a stranger that close to your Glock??--NOT ME..Bill.

So the OP has 7 Glocks.....and is now worried about a safety? I really wish I had time to read this entire thread. It would probably be the best time I've ever wasted

 

[billybob44]

Go For It....

I'm not trying to argue, just want to make M Y glock desirable for me, been carrying a gun for over 26 years & have never had an accidental discharge

With your carry experience, you know what you want.
Have you ever carried a revolver for SD? If so, what kind of external safety did it have? I have a "Johnson" full of S&W Revolvers, and I have not been able to find an external safety on any of them?? Bill.

All I can say is I wasted so much time reading all this it's bedtime now.

If you want a thumb safety for your carry gun, quit looking at Glocks. A Glock doesn't need or benefit from one. Come on!

I have three handguns - I carry two and leave the largest for home protection. If I ever need to fire my Glock 19 in a very stressful situation all I need to do is, pull the trigger. If I need to fire my Walther PPS carry gun in a similar situation all I need to do is, pull the trigger. What if I'm carrying my Ruger LCP - just pull the trigger. I haven't shot myself yet - and I don't have to worry about fumbling for an external safety or having to worry about muscle memory for different safety systems. I'll take the Glock the way it is, thanks! But to each his own...

Someone doesn't want to Plaxico Burris themselves. Understandable. But, when you bought even one of the glocks did you think, "hmmm, I'll just stare at it"? Just curious, I bought mine with sole intention of carrying, and I do. Or did you try to carry it one day and was like wait, this gun doesn't have a safety, must put back. You wouldn't buy a Geo Metro and be like boy I'd like to take this thing off road and put 24" tires on it and a lift kit....right?

used to have a revolver for SD, but had a bad experience, that's the reason I like a safety on my carry guns

I like a stick because it doesn't have a pesky trigger you have to remember to squeeze in an emergency. I'm not sure I'd remember to do that, you know, the way fine motor skills tend to fail you and all.

I'm not worried about shooting myself, but It's a long story about a butt-wipe getting his hands on my gun, & I'm just glad to be able to post on A man has to learn from his mistakes

Personally, I think the choice of the Geo Metro to represent the glock is remarkably appropriate. Well-played. I'd probably have gone with something like adding a racing harness or top-notch brakes, though, as a better apples:apples analogy.

But the METRO was a cheap piece of at least the glock is functional but could be better with a small lever that could be reached the right thumb
