    Now my Brother in Law who is an officer told me that a Glock is not the safest gun to carry because there is no safety.

    His issued gun is a Glock and was just saying that he has seen this as a safety issue.

    Thought on that?

    It's going to be a long time because I just don't have the money for one right now anyway.

    Thanks for input.

    We need another thread for the drama.
    The Glocks were originally designed as a combat handgun and can be run and function just fine without the tender loving care other makes might need. The armorer courses and re-certification courses I've attended the instructors have all emphasized not coddling these guns in terms of over-oiling them. They tend to function better a little "dry" and will function flawlessly several thousand rounds in with no cleaning. That isn't to say to not clean or maintain them, just that they're purpose built to be used hard and still function without a hiccup. I'd trust my life to any of the ones I own and that of my family to them as well.
