Jimmy Mac,
Its not unheard of for someone to either get the manual of arms screwed up (like the aforementioned revolver guy) or to equate racking the slide with checking the chamber (a potentially costly mistake). For instance somebody might check the chamber before dropping the magazine. Bang! Oops.
The issue with glocks is not that they are inherently unsafe, I mean we're not talking about Lorcins here. The issue is that NDs can happen with glocks after only one mistake. However a gun with additional handling safeties usually needs additional mistakes, like not putting the safety on. The chain of faults is longer so the likelihood of an AD is hopefully less.
