Martin, I wont say that a Glock is as safe or safer then a 1911. But to think that if you do your part like you should it will still go off is crazy. A gun is ony as safe as the person using it.
Like you I like all guns, My Glock fits my daily carry set-up well in the cooler months. I have other guns for other uses.

MODERN guns only goes off when the trigger is pulled, I know you are responsible & will only pull the trigger when it's needed, but it's the kids that I worry about

No kids. If I did have kids it would be locked up.
Right now my wifes and my handgun stay on the bedside table at night. I actually have one of those bedside safes with the fingerprint reader that I bought for when some friends of ours come into town and stay with us, they have 3 small children. The wifes goes in the gun safe and mine goes in the bedside safe when they stay with us.

Just saying there are idiots out there, that should not breed, When you buy a gun, you should know it's weakness & try to avoid it

The only time I have a glock for self-defense, is when I go A T V ridingI have a GLOCK 19 in the trunk of my A T V, if my A T V sink in a mud hole & muddy water gets in aww it only a glock, it it gets scratched with all the tools & steel tow cable, it's only a glock, it has no collector value, it won't rust, & since it doesn't have a frame mounted safety, I don't keep a bullet in the chamber

If you carry a pistol you must know your pistol and to not carry a round in the chamber is pure stupidity...

I know guys who have carried 1911's for more years than I'm alive miss the thumb safety under stress, I have missed the extended thumb safety on my 1911's and a couple race guns I've shot under heavy stress...
I've read of people missing the thumb safety of 1911's in real world no **** full on adrenaline dump mode up against a bad guy....
The thumb safety of the 1911 can be a weak point...

You should also know it's strengths and then train to exploit one and avoid the other...

You bring up a great point though, fine motor skills get really hard to control under stress. Safety aside.... Studies show that statistically you wont be getting a great hit rate on what your shooting at when in a life and death situation. I want to say (and don't quote this) that on average its something like 40% hit rate at typical personal defence ranges... LIke I said, don't quote thatm I'm sure we can find the right number somewhere, thats just what seems to pop out to me as what I read.
