Pastor's Daughter Accidentally Shot at Church Dies

178. Four.

Trigger safety
Grip safety
Striker blocking drop safety
Out of battery safety


and most of all, it's a striker-fired weapon, and racking the slide doesn't charge the striker, only pulling the trigger does. (This is why some complain of the 'hard' trigger pull on the Springfield XD and Glock)

It does lack a magazine disconnect, but adds a tactile cocked indicator, and chamber loaded indicator.


Excellent firearm. Unless it is gripped in a human hand and the trigger pulled, it will not fire. Works exactly as I expect a firearm to work, pick it up, grip it, pull the trigger, bang. No combination of mishaps seems to result in it being able to fire otherwise, and it corrects the problem of the Glock shooting people in the ass upon re-holstering, if a strap or something gets inside the trigger guard. You cannot engage the grip safety while holstering it. Therefore, even if something gets in the trigger guard, it cannot fire.

If I carried a 1911 (not to denigrate the weapon, at all, it's a fine pistol) I would likely keep the chamber empty as well. It's just a design difference. (Hammer vs. striker, and all that)
