You’d think the negligent discharge was patented by Glock ,for all the posts one may see on the matter. Fact is being safe with a firearm is a matter of training and mindset, not trigger configuration.

But can’t you just let it go? You weren’t even the one who made the comment in the first place. That was somebody else. They don’t even appear to be bent out of shape over it at all like you seem to be yet you decided to take it upon yourself to start shaking my tree. Lol.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.
But don’t call me a snowflake just because I don’t appreciate being corrected over something stupid. Especially when two people come in here and pretty much backed up what I said about some manufacturers calling their safety triggers “trigger-safeties”...lol.
Yet you still butted in with your totally unnecessary post. Who’s the snowflake again??
But go right ahead and put me on ignore. I really don’t care. Seeing how you seem to treat some people makes me wonder how many people got you on ignore. [emoji41]

I don’t care what a bunch of English as a second language foreigners call it, it’s function is as an inertia drop safety.
That terminology only encourages the “Glocks r stopid cuz they gots the safety on the trigger” booger eaters.
I know right? I gotsta remember this trigger thingy term for the future!

First of all, the proper technical term is "thingamabob".

Actions in action

One day a hundred or so years ago, a man built the first semiautomatic pistol. It was an ingenious thing, a gun that could load itself and fire many rounds from a single magazine. He made it so that one could have a short and light trigger which makes it easy to hit what one aims at.
Then someone said, whoa brother, something might touch the trigger when it’s not supposed to and fire the gun accidentally, for I cannot be bothered to learn the manual of arms. So the manual safety was created, so that there was a way to prevent one from using the short and light trigger except when absolutely intended.
Then someone said, whoa brother, sometimes I forget to take the safety off and I cannot fire my gun, for I cannot be bothered to learn the manual of arms. So the double action pistol was created, so that one could fire one’s pistol without dealing with a pesky safety while still having a reasonably hard time of making loud noises unintentionally.
Then someone said, whoa brother, it is hard to learn two different trigger pulls and often I forget to decock my pistol before holstering, for I cannot be bothered to learn the manual of arms. So the double action only was created, so that one could enjoy the safety of a long heavy trigger pull every time and thus avoid ventilating one’s own leg.
Then someone said, whoa brother, your trigger pull is too long and too heavy and I cannot hit anything I shoot at, for I cannot be bothered to learn the manual of arms. So the striker-fired pistol was created, so that one could have a short and light trigger which makes it easy to hit what one aims at.
Then someone said, whoa brother, something might touch the trigger when it’s not supposed to and fire the gun accidentally …
I've owned, carried, trained with, and competed with SAO, TDA, and SFA firearms. They're all good. They're all bad. I have developed some preferences over the years, but ultimately I am comfortable and proficient with all of these action types. Learning the nuances is part of the journey.

I wouldn't say a whole lot more. Just because you have a thumb/trigger/manual safety, I still wouldn't recommend jamming your gun into your holster without looking.
One internet thread isn't going to change your mind anyway. If you feel better with a manual safety, just admit it and use a gun that has one. Nobody really cares. Unless it's an XD.
