Thread: Trigger-Less Glock Field Stripping

  1. #11
    I hope they get as burned at the stake as I did when I posted a video of just removing the striker so you didn't have to press the trigger to take a Glock apart...... you thought suggesting high ready and AIWB was something.......

    Not very bright but does lack ambition
    It’s a bigger problem than I thought, then.

    Yep.

    I agree. But to guys like you and I and I'd assume the majority of members here (what most consider "gun guys") it's pretty ingrained. I've seen enough unsafe handling to put 1:1 odds on the average joe doing basic self preservation checks.

    Seems somewhat like a Rube Goldberg solution.

    In my opinion people that need mechanical "solutions" to this "problem" shouldn't be using firearms without 1 on 1 supervision. (My opinion isn't different for LE/mil either)
    Gun people versus non gun people. I’ve shot USPSA since the early 90s, so gun clear / hammer down is pretty ingrained in me, long before I owned my first Glock.

    I think it requires more than just training, but a passion, or at least an interest. Think about taking a mandatory training class that you have no interest in. 15 minutes after passing the exam, how much do you remember about the class?

    What I find interesting is that the sear release lever or whatever Smith & Wesson calls it was supposed to alleviate this issue but I know a bunch of people who disassemble a M&P just the same way they do a Glock

    Whenever I see people freakout over pulling the trigger to disassemble, I figure they don't dry fire.

    Distraction as a component of NDs I get. Many of us have "No live ammo" rules we've imposed on ourselves in our cleaning/workbench areas.
    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

The Mossberg pistol is interesting, (to me) in that it lacks a slide lock (not to be confused with the slide stop) and the slide cover plate performs that function by the lower edge of it contacting the rear of the frame/trigger mechanism housing when the slide returns to battery.
    Thank you. I was wondering how that was accomplished.

    While the M&P can be taken apart by pulling the trigger, that is not the factory approved method. When I took an armorer course some years ago the instructor specifically avoided talking about the trigger pull method for disassembling.
