Agreed and like I said, I am sure most of those were caused by humans. I just think the Glock design makes human error more likely. Heck I have not carried a striker fired handgun since the late 70s when a friend shot himself in the a$$ with my old MAB model D 380. He went to shove it in his back pocket without the safety on and something tripped the trigger. He swears his finger was not on the trigger so maybe the corner of his wallet is all I can figure.
Remember a year or so ago I had one of this small Smiths 9mms and could not get comfortable enough with it carry more than a few times. I traded it off for a RIA 9mm 1911 and could not be happier.
Heck I admit I am old fashion and my preferred carry would be a single action revolver if people did not freak out.
You’re responses are absolutely baseless. You have made one ridiculous accusation after about striker fired firearms. Followed by your supposed bad experience with an AR. Total and complete hogwash. Live your delusion man. But stop responding to this thread with baseless unresearched statements.And yet there are discharges recorded every year with them. Look man, not everyone is that well trained and if they are having trouble scrapping up the money for a Glock, just how much training do you think they can afford? Even many cops have issues keeping their finger off the trigger as the quotes I posted show.
Bottom line, you have your opinion and I have mine and all the big fonts in the world are not going to change that. Someday I ever fire one a lot without problems, maybe. But I have shot friends and did not.
I have fired a lot more reliable Taurus, etc than I ever have ARs, and I DO NOT TRUST STRIKER FIRED WITHOUT A SAFETY. Heck I even like the grip safety on my 1911.
