The point is that Glock lost the military contract in part due to a refusal to accommodate the safety requirement.

AR's come with a safety Glocks don't. I would not want a glock with a safety there is no need for it.
You got a lemon. Mine came with three safeties.
Comparing the single AR safety to the several different 1911or Glock safetys is also . . ummmm . . "unprofessional". ---- SAWMAN
You would have to be a complete incompetent idiot to have a glock go off by accident and I have heard stories. LOL

I stand corrected as to the reason Glock wasn't chosen if this guy is to be believed;that is the 19X is the same pistol as submitted to the MHS trials EXCEPT they deleted the required manual safety in the commercial version.

On a slightly different note - when is Glock going to make a 9mm carbine similar to the Beretta Storm? It would sell far better than the GEN 5 or the 19x or any other rebranding of the same handgun.
I agree. I like a good thumb safety, but I’d rather have no manual safety, than an unusable one.From the picture of the 19x with a safety, it seems to be well designed. Some frame mounted safeties are just too small to reliably swipe off - for example the Ruger Sr9 safety was too small for me. Similar complaint with the M&P shield and the FN FNS 9. It looks like glock may have gotten its frame safety right.
Never! Why? Because Glock isn’t about making things people want, because “perfection” and all that nonsense.On a slightly different note - when is Glock going to make a 9mm carbine similar to the Beretta Storm?

I like the g17 slide with frame cut to g19 size. Balances well, still provides a full grip, Easier to conceal. I have one that I carry and currently have a second in the shop
