Someone mentioned this on the Glock Haters post. Does anyone have any experience wit this device?
It's too late for me, save yourself.

thumb down for off, up for safe. Without it I would not carry a Glock. I do not understand why Glock does not at least offer a manual safety like this. They would increase sales. (I guess I do know why, doing so would open them to some liability issues probably)
I know Glock has provided a manual safety in the past. It's very simple and is reversible but would leave a small slot in the frame. I thought about this too and some Brownell's Acraglas would fix that.
Look up Cominolli Custom for details. I bought mine directly from them and the customer support is excellent, you may even talk to Joe himself if you call.
that siderlock would be about like using a safety on a Rem. 870 only difference is its in the trigger instead of behind it in the trigger guard
In a defensive shooting situation I'd think the cominolli manual safety would be faster and easier to manipulate in a high stress situation. It seems to me in a high stress situation where fine motor skills tend to go out the window that that push button safety on the trigger gives a lot for the trigger finger to do.
We keep the safeties off on our 870s when patrol ready for that exact reason.

good point about the stress
tell do you keep the chamber empty on the 870's or are you driving around with a loaded gun in the rack with the safety off ?

no patrol ready for us is: chamber empty, trigger pulled, safety off, magazine tube loaded. When they deploy they rack it and go.

SO YOU ACTUALLY RISK YOUR LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS ?

In 1994 I went to shoot a friend's 17 and it went, well, nothing, oops, it went back to Glock.
Not a good start.
I bought a couple and they were OK, nothing about them made me like or dislike them except the pulling the trigger to take down for cleaning something that has taken many lives.
I know, it is the users fault but to build in to a gun that unintended suicide function still baffles me.

Yep....we carry Glock 21s and Glock 30s's too! [:0][:D]
One of the local police chief's refused to buy Glocks for the same * reason. Once he retired they traded in their HKs for Glocks. And their officers were thrilled. If you are not smart enough to check and insure a gun is unloaded before you break it down for cleaning then you shouldn't be handling firearms. Likewise if they are trained to insure that their 870 is unloaded before they move the slide forward, and pull the trigger. Then they load the mag tube.
