I read arguments about Glock vs 1911s. Some say Glocks aren't safe because they don't have a traditional safety, and a 1911 does. Others say Glocks are safer, and they wouldn't carry a gun with the hammer cocked. I don't see how a hammer being cocked is any different than a striker that's locked back ready to rock. I get they both have internal safeties. I'm not saying one is better than the other. I have Glocks and a Sig, and carry either in equally confident that I'm protecting the trigger when I carry them. If I had to say one would be harder to shoot, it would be the Sig since there is an extra step to take before it goes off. The firing pin is locked unless the trigger is held back. If the hammer rests on the pin with a loaded chamber, the pin still can not reach the primer. Momentum carries the pin out to the primer. Sometimes I notice I have bumped the safety on the Sig to the fire position. At that point isn't it essentially the same as a Glock. If you pull the trigger they are both going to fire.
