[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1950767, member: 7629"] been thinking over this issue of safety of S&W revolver vs Glock as it pertains to CCW ... both no safeties .. both with long trigger stroke. actual weight measurements taken on 340PD and G-17 ... as most everyone knows Glock has a two stage trigger ... 1lb 12oz until a wall is reached.... then 4.5mm @ 5lb 8oz to release for a total travel of 11.5mm. 340PD takes 9lb to move trigger which travels 18mm until trigger is released. 9lb of force is maintained for 18mm of travel. in terms of possible accidental snags on trigger when CCW. Glock's first stage at 1lb 12oz is all but not there. final travel to trigger release of 4.5mm at 5lb 8oz. that's all there is ... totally comfortable with slipping a S&W 340PD in a pocket without a holster. VS would never do the same with a Glock! don't get me wrong would never recommend CCW any weapon without a holster. but there are plenty of times. when slipping a pistol in your pocket is all that's needed. point is .. there's a much lower chance of trigger accidentally getting snagged with a S&W revolver vs Glock. 9lb for 18mm vs 5.5lb for 4.5mm travel (.177in) [/QUOTE]
