[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2235074, member: 29706"] Ok will clarify a few things here. First off, I can admit that the number of AD or ND due to glocks can be attributed to the market share. Second as per the cleaning procedures on a glock, never done it. Shot one glock at the range as a rent gun, didn't like it and if someone was selling two comparable pistols one a glock and the other a s&w m&p with the glock at half the price I still wouldn't buy the glock. I cringe just dry firing for practice because I know it's a violation of the rules or handling a firearm, I have to point the weapon at something I don't intend to kill/destroy (usually a door handle, never a person) and squeeze the trigger. I am not a PHD or anything but teaching that it's ok to do something against the rules of proper handling of a weapon that can cause great harm or death is just plain wrong. Per the break down of the M&P, I said "encourages" There are probably four or five ways to disassemble any firearm though some may not be the prescribed way and others may not allow the weapon to be reassembled and function ever. Now since this went way off topic beyond the "Why would you want a safety on your handgun?" I hope my statement has clarified my position. . . Back on topic, the SR-22 I have does have a manual safety. . . as I am not used to it the safety always seems to be in the way when I go to shoot it. Was with a friend who would apply the safety and then set the weapon down. . . I would insert a mag and go to shoot and have to remember to disengage the safety. It was a pain to deal with and distracting. Now if someone has always worked with one and likes it all I can say is have fun. . . enjoy. . . and more power to ya. I do not feel any added value to a weapon with 7 safeties vs a weapon with 1 safety with the brains between my ear and a finger off the trigger. [/QUOTE]
