Feeling safe with pistols that just have trigger safeties and not slide safeties.

He's "triggered".

No sir....[emoji41]

So sorry I dared call a trigger with a safety mechanism on it a “trigger safety”. [emoji20]

C'mon, dude. You Okies are made of stouter stuff than that. Laugh with the rest of us and roll with the punches.

You'll get the info you need if you just play along nicely.

Promise.

I have gotten some really good advice but I guess that’s just don’t handle knit-picking real well...[emoji846]

Weeeeell, Glock calls it a trigger safety.

We knew what you meant though. Just for fun, call a magazine a "clip" and see what happens.

Your basic premise is factually incorrect.

Tab safeties on triggers like Glocks, modern bolt Rifles etc are not “trigger safeties”. They are inertia / drop safeties.

I noticed that, and I thought about pointing that out but uh, I am new here, and... I didn’t want to get my hand slapped. Lol. Again....

I hate when people do that....lol. It’s like when they call a water heater, a hot water heater. Lol.

You asked how to feel comfortable carrying a Glock type pistol. The answer is training and practice. Holstering a loaded handgun safely requires deliberate focus and care. If you disrespect the process, it’s dangerous regardless of whether the gun has a safety.

Take what down a notch? Sorry if what I said appears to have rubbed you the wrong way but you’re knit-picking over a word. Everyone else in the discussion knows what I’m talking about.

I appreciate you’re other input...

You are aware I saw your first response?

I’m out, no time for internet snowflakes that think they are badasses. I’d love to see a forum plugin that flushed people down the memory hole once they hit a certain number of ignore list entries.

True, and I fully respect that but the fact still remains that some pistols require a whole lot more and are a lot easier to have a very painful oops moment.
