GLOCK had to make a big point about its internal safeties because when it first appeared on the scene many were shocked that it didn't have the customary external thumb safety. They had no choice but to tout all the internal safeties in order to placate the hysteria.

1) Trigger Safety: An external integrated trigger safety lever mechanism contained within the trigger guard that prevents the trigger from moving unless the lever is depressed.
The M&P uses the same system except that the lower portion of the trigger is hinged instead of a blade. Functionally it is the same.

2) Striker Safety: A spring-loaded pin attached by an extension bar to the trigger assembly blocks the striker from striking the primer of the cartridge until the trigger is pulled.
The M&P uses an internal, spring-loaded plunger that prevents firing pin movement until the rearward movement of the trigger bar deactivates just before it releases the sear to fire the pistol.

3) Drop Safety: The far end of the same extension bar locks the striker into place from the rear until the trigger is pulled.
Same on the M&P.


The main differences between the two (and not germane to this particular situation) is that the S&W is available with a magazine disconnect safety and a manually operated thumb safety, both unavailable from GLOCK.

Keep in mind that neither Glock nor S&W supply the gray matter safety, that keeps a booger finger off of the trigger when it is not supposed to be there.

Apparently, Detroit PD buys it's bullets from the same place Lee Harvey Oswald bought his, and they are using those magical "Dealy Plaza Rounds" that are capable of making u-turns and right-angle turns in mid-flight...

You do know that Oliver Stone made that up right?, or are you actually basing that statement off of an Oliver Stone Movie? That's where the whole "magic bullet" myth came from, in reality if you line up the shot as everyone actually was while seated in the car the bullet moved in a strait line.

What department do you work for officer hahah?

You seem to be the only person offended by the discussion of yet another Detroit cop that has a magic gun that killed yet another innocent person and has a very mysterous story. Where is the bashing you refer to?

Calling Glock's firing-pin lockout mechanism a "Safety" is like calling the gas pedal on a Porsche 911 Turbo with no brake pedal a "safety mechanism".

As long as you don't push toe "go" button, you've got nothing to worry about...
