I've seen a number of threads with philosophical discussions about about whether Glocks are safe, given that they have no manual safety. It seems to me that there are enough Glocks in circulation that we shouldn't have to rely on philosophy--either they do have a problem with accidental/negligent discharges, or they don't.

So what is the cumulative experience of this Forum--how many folks here know of ADs/NDs with Glocks? Did it happen in concealed or open carry?

For comparison, tell us about 1911 experiences, as well. (In evaluating this, we need to take into account that there are probably a lot more Glocks being carried right now than there are 1911s.)
