OK I listened to most of it. An activist looking to drum up support/passion/whatever for her cause arguing with a bureaucrat looking primarily to cover his backside who gets frustrated and pops off. I think the best word to describe it is “unproductive”. Not trying to diminish the seriousness of the issue, but I think we all know that if ordered to do a raid, most cops will follow orders. Lon Horiuchi was such a social conservative he home-schooled his kids and worried about being assigned to protect abortion clinics. He didn’t hesitate to murder Vicki Weaver when ordered to do so. Some few cops may balk, some may quit, some may be sick that day, whatever, but there will be enough to do what they are being told to do. That goes all the way up the line from the actual door-busters to their desk-bound superiors. So what new revelation does this video exchange bring us?
If there’s symbolism beyond girls, guns and country then it’s lost on me, but I confess I like the pic. It looks like one of those stupid things you do at 3 in the morning while you’re having too much fun.

humm the safety on the MI garand is inside the trigger guard. WTF, I have had the siderlock on my G19 for over 5 years. It is super, u don’;t put ur finger on the trigger to disenge it either. U push from the side of the trigger, there is a difference, and u still have the glock Style SAS trigger working, so u definitely hav eto pull the trigger. It is an excellet system. Sure u can pick it apart, but keeping ur finger out of that area is a must but this system is far safer than that SAS that glocks puts out, let alone ALL STEEL and certainly attractive. Probalby not for u super macho guys
Not super macho, super SMARTASSES.
Got the slider lock on all Glocks! It is just perfect! Adam, don’t you wish you had invented this! All your anti comments suggests it!
I have seen it reported, and I thought it was here, that the DC police chief wrote a letter stating that officers should NOT arrest anyone for spent shell casings. Further, any law prohibiting live ammo would be facially unconstitutional under Heller–otherwise you could keep a firearm in your home, but not have any ammunition. Because it would be a violation of law to buy ammo in Virginia or Maryland (there are no stores in DC) and bring it home to your abode. Or transport your gun and ammo from your home to a shooting range in another state. So if you are as paranoid as Max, then put a lock on your range bag and tell the police they’ll need a warrant to search it.
When driving, that “keep your hands at 10:00 and 2:00” rule has worked well enough for me; when out of the car, arms at 4:00 and 8:00 seems good enough. Did drop into a perfect kneel-hands-behind-head to a felony prone one time when a Feeb-buddy called out my name in front of a Federal Court house (I was completely unarmed at the time). Man, you should have seen those bystanders between us haul butt… Seems only one of us thought THAT was funny…
The best lube is the one I can score for free or at a deep deep discount. Grease (in non-super-cold conditions) or synthetic motor oil are fine too. The marginal performance gain from the latest $5/2oz super lube is not worth the time you will spend researching it on the internet. Just clean it, lube it and shoot it.
Wow! What a bunch of immature haters. Apparently this product has been out for quite some time. Have there been any reported accidental discharges? If not, then shut up about it.
I will be adding a safety to my G26, either traditional or Sider. Get over it.
Ever see the video of the cop in a classroom shooting himself while reholstering his Safe Glock? Shit happens.
It happens with 1911s too.
Get over yourselves. You’re all such experts in your own minds.
Most of you have zero idea what you would actually do in a real combat situation. You won’t know until you’re in it.
How about being more understanding and supportive? Apparently being a Hater comes easier to a lot of you.
Good luck to all. It’s a strange world out there.
Ugh, is anyone else just about fed up with Glock fan boyz, weekend warriors and their holier than thou overly emotional responses about every little thing? Yeah, we get it…you guys are the SAFEST most accomplished gun gurus of all time and Glocks need zero improvements because, like they say, they are perfection just the way they are. Oh No!!! Don’t touch the side of the trigger in an entirely diffferent direction to turn off a safety that isn’t needed!! I guess all of us mere mortal gun owners are just a bunch of idiots then. So sorry to offend you badasses by putting such an unsafe device on my Glocks….You just keep being morally superior and praying to your God who goes by the name Gaston.
I also really enjoy the responses that inevitably go to…well, well, ugh..well, if you don’t like a Glock EXACTLY how it comes from the factory then buy a different gun because only us fanboyz who think they are perfect should own them! Yeah, like nobody modifies their guns right?
Except you know, it’s been out for years now and there have been exactly NO problems reported. Yep, you were ALL wrong. It’s a great safety feature for those who want this sort of thing. Great idea, works perfect. I have three and just ordered another one. Maybe it’s time for Adam to get back on here and admit he’s a jackass who shot off his mouth offending a shit load of people? Nah, never happen.
Ok all you guys who are slandering about this being unsafe because you have to put your finger on the trigger to disengage safety are frankly ignorant. YES putting your finger on the trigger before you are ready to shoot in unsafe and irresponsible Gun handling. And for all you that say “if you want a safety just buy another Gun”. Some people still love their glocks and the reliability and yadda yadda yadda. They shouldn’t need to buy another gun if this makes them feel safer. As for the function in this device if practiced with and used properly I personally feel it will do the job absolutely safely. I have many guns some have safety some don’t. For the ones that have traditional safetyies, after gun is in hand and controlled I unlock safety with finger still off the trigger till ready to fire. People just have to train them selves differently with this safety and it will be just as safe. Example after pulling gun from holster finger still stays off trigger and unlike traditional safeties where in a life or death situation, safety comes off, finger off trigger till ready to fire. With this device the safety stays on until the exact time you are ready to fire and since safety is on trigger you can do everything in one quick motion safety off/squeeze. At that point you were already comitted to pulling the trigger. Most of my nonsaftey guns have heavier trigger pulls which are my safety but glocks trigger pull at least the one I own is half the weight to pull back and as I like this for shooting but not for safety.
I get a kick out reading what these “glock perfection” guys feel about their glocks. They put extensions on the magazines, stipple the plastic, put aftermarket parts everywhere but if someone installs the siderlock they are totally aghast. I put a siderlock on two glocks and like them a lot so get over it . I actually come up with the idea of a safety on the trigger 10 years before siderlock but didn’t patent it or develop the manufacturing process. So you could say definitely like the design. Another thing you detractors- get a life.
I’ve had Cominolli’s and Siderlock’s. Siderlock is superior because Cominolli requires a cut in the plastic (which can let crud in) but more importantly the Cominolli’s over time can become unreliable, that is to say the Cominolli can be jerked into non-functional mode by the impact of the previous shot. If you want to have to put your thumb safety back down again every time you pull the trigger in the middle of a firefight, then the Cominolli is for you. Siderlock has been totally reliable for 7-8 years, while my Cominolli’s went bad after about one year of use. All this has been with Gen 4 Glock 29’s, and Cominolli failure mode was noticed at 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe your pistol or your caliber will work fine with Cominolli, or maybe do great at higher temperatures. All I know is I got a 100% eventual failure rate with Cominolli after a year, but eternal (so far) 100% reliability with Siderlock and zero maintenance.
