[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 275878, member: 6937"] I've never heard of that happening with a Glock, but I could see how, as the front sight is really just pressed into the slide, it's not securely staked or dove tailed. True, it's not like the 1911 with its thumb safety and grip safety (the 1911 is almost idiot-proof) But consider that revolvers don't have any kind of safety, either. Instead, the safety is the shooter's common sense and adherence to the rule of don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot. I will say though that the revolver's trigger pull is significantly heavier than that of the Glock, which does provide a higher margin for safety. A stainless frame is definitely impervious to the elements, but, that does come at the expense of added weight. Still, it's hard to beat a robust handgun with an all-metal design, such as a 1911, Beretta M-9, or a S&W metal framed pistol like the 669 or the 5906. [/QUOTE]
