Cops are so fucking careless with guns it’s unbelievable. Any time you hear of an accidental discharge, it was the cops negligence and they’re lying about it because Glocks do not misfire without user error
They leave them unattended in public bathrooms so often that my hospital has a protocol for what to do if we find one
jfc, I’ve heard about them doing that but I didn’t realize it was that bad. Fucking morons
LEO are involved in hundreds of accidental discharges a year, they also shoot themselves and other officers on accident dozens of times per year. Unfortunately exact numbers are very difficult to get because cops always fight having their actions tracked in national registries.
I've also thought it's hilarious how cops seem to love glocks. The "dual trigger" safety mechanism is shit. It can get caught easily on your holster, waist band, or one of the 20 fucking things on your belt and cause an AD. Oh yeah, if you have shitty trigger discipline like most cops,then you'll probably have an AD too.
Springfield makes a much better, safer pistol, IMO
*negligent discharge
Exactly. Still user errors, not the Glock
Sorry, mate, I’m a Glock fan boy. Love mine and never had a misfire or snag. I don’t doubt how good Springfields are though, I have been wanting to try one out. They look really snazzy too
