Any external safety will be added by someone after manufacturer. Unless you are technical enough to understand how it works and if it has problems, you could be buying yourself an unreliable pistol. I personally am no engineer so I would stay away from adding extra mechanical devices that could fail. Glocks have an internal safety. With any gun ultimately the only safety worth anything is good training. There are many pistols that are decent, maybe you should consider a revolver if you are worried about safety. aaileen, I do not recommend a glock with an external safety.

My husband is always out of town. Im looking into buying a glock 26 with the external safety. He doesn't think the safety is a good idea. How wrong can I be? I have a riffle that Im good with.

I have said again and again on the blog that the less external safeties the better. But there are some people who are just not comfortable with no external safety. It is not something I would use.

The entire point of a Glock, the thing that has made them so successful, is the fact that you DON'T have to mess with anything other than the trigger- total simplicity producing total speed, nothing to forget or to get stuck. Now here we introduce something else to screw with, or forget in the heat and confusion of the moment; something else totally nonintuitive that needs to be practived ad infinitum before the gun can be relied upon in a problem. No frigging thanks. Dumb.
