Eh, they were trying to eliminate confusion between a firearm that just had a trigger and no safety vs one that really did have systems in place to limit accidental discharges. A lot of this goes back to the 1911 which has a VERY short and light trigger. It'd be nuts to carry around a 1911 cocked with no safety. Remember the Glock 17 came out in the early '80's and lots of things about it were pretty new. Some people just can't mentally get passed not having a safety. There are lots of people that freak out over 1911's carried "cocked and locked" just because it looks scary to them. I can still remember early on some idiots decrying how the polymer framed Glocks would be invisible to airport security. (apparently forgetting the steel slide)

These days lots of manufacturers now make striker fired models without external safeties and in large part because many people actually prefer that feature.

As with all firearms the real external safety is the user.

I get that. Glock was still making posters advertising "safeties" well into the 2000-2010s. The reason they were was because they don't have a real safety and they wanted people to think they did. For the reference, I don't care if they do our don't. I also think its stupid to carry a hammered pistol with the lever back. The hammer can fall without the trigger being pulled. I carried a 92FS loaded and off safe but the hammer wasn't cocked.

Anyway, my point was if you constantly have to advertise that something might be true, its probably not, much like pit bull lovers trying to convince everyone that those dogs are just swell little pups. They are not. If you want to own one, have at it. Keep it on a leash and out of the way of the general public, but just accept what it is.
Ive worked several dog bits of all sorts of severity, the most common are from a pit bull and the owners always sing the same song.

Perhaps it is a bit of a divergence (not making a pit bull analogy) there is a very real difference between a firearm having "safeties" and an "external manual" safety. One can have the former and not the latter. If Glock were actually advertising their pistols had manual safeties how would that not be immediately discounted by anyone that ever picked one up?

For the purpose of defensive readiness the 1911 was designed to be carried cocked and locked (condition 1) because it would require direct manipulation of the firing system to deploy which might not be something one's enemies would allow time or opportunity to do. The 92FS, having a double action trigger, has no need for that to be the case.

Anyway, people can get back on topic now.

I couldn't figure out if he meant Ruger was a better gun, or a better name for a dog. I guess if he thought it was a better name, he thinks it's a better gun.

I didn't ask him because, I probably would've gotten a headache trying to understand his response.

OMG! She (he) looks just like our Gracie! We have two pitties, a boxer, and a toy poodle. Fear the poodle. Told hubby if she had been a pit bull, she would have gone STRAIGHT BACK to the breeder! Had dogs all my life and always been able to handle them (including other people's) but this one is the meanest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, her picture is my avatar. Don't always believe what you see.
