Also, i find it awkward to use a safety up there, (not that i would unless a department/agency i work for requires it in future)) shoot mostly 1911s though so im used to that type of safety.

Things i hate in guns:

DAO.
Mag disconnects.
Slide mounted safety.

The naturally dehorned and smooth nature of a Glock slide would make it harder to strip a failed round if I needed to, and if a round fails I have to rack the slide to cock the striker again, so why take the risk with that?

The SIG decocker doesn't actually click and actuate until it reaches the very bottom, and the click itself is pretty rough while the majority of the push is light, so it'd be very easy for someone to think they've decocked it in the heat of the moment when they actually haven't, so they could be wandering around with a gun in SA mode with no safety and that is dangerous. Why take that risk?

1911s are safe when they are cocked and locked, but that safety can pop off riding in a holster or the user could forget to actuate it, or worse yet, the sear could somehow fail and have the hammer come down and discharge the pistol. Why take that risk?

When we think of hypothetical situations, any stupid thing is possible, and even if it's based in some logical realm, it's still theory and doesn't hold a candle to what people actually of through, or the fact that anyone can learn to do anything and use any system proficiently so long as they aren't an idiot and put in the time to practice with it. Have all the opinions you want, but don't base them in theory, because if you believe them, you have to believe my examples as well and I know you don't, nobody does.

And don't say I'm doing this to be mean either, because I don't like mag disconnects or DAO either because of my own reasons, so we agree there, but I understand that someone else might for their reasons and they are right too, so long as their reasons are based of course in practice and not theory.
