I never said that I had a problem with the trigger safety myself; I just find that it makes no sense at all. If you (or anything else for that matter) pulls the trigger, the "safety" is automatically disengaged and the gun - if a round is chambered - will fire.

The only safety mechanism when it comes to Glocks is following the basic rules of firearm handling. Don't point it or put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to fire. Glocks are designed to be ready to fire from the moment the operator chambers a round. That so called "trigger safety" is probably just there to satisfy some regulation stating that there must be a safety device built in and Mr. Glock came up with a solution that in no way slows or hinders the operation of the weapon once it's in battery.

Having someone else tugging and fumbling for something to depress to free my gun from my holster definitely gives me that uneasy feeling that I am at risk of being shot in the leg. When I draw, it's a memorized, automatic action and my trigger finger is indexed along the frame outside of the trigger guard. There's not a remote chance I will ever shoot my own leg.
