Looks like the Comonoli (or whatever its called) safety. They make a "Glock" with a manual safety, its called an S&W M&P.

long as you happy, but I hope you got your flame suit on.

**janice6** · 03-05-2013, 20:55

OK. It's your gun.

If this is what works for you then more power to you.

This will draw the ire of many a Glockster but here goes. I roll Israeli style. My safety is between the ears.

While I could never seem to justify the permanent mod (of the Cominolli device), if it makes you more comfortable, then it is a good thing. Don't worry about those who'd say it ain't right- it ain't their butt on line when you have to pull that trigger.

I would try a silderlock before I would cut the frame of my Glock. If u don't like the siderlock u can always remove it with no permanent modification to your frame. With that said I did have a 26 with that external safety one it. It did engage firmly. The only issue I had was it seemed to be in the way of my thumb while disengaged and shooting.
It's your glock do what you want to it. It is one of the reasons of love Glock so much is that they are so easy to custom Taylor them to your needs. Lets us know what you decide to do?

My safety is my finger. Until I'm ready for my Glock to go bang my finger stays off the trigger.

This.

Bought my glock because there is no external safety. Point and shoot, no fiddling around. No time for that nonsense in a self defense carry weapon.

But, whatever makes you feel safer...it is your gun

Why you would have a need for a thumb safety puzzles me but its your gun , enjoy

Got one myself Brother, screw the nay sayers.

I agree - if you are happy with it that is great.

There is one practical downside to this modification that has nothing to do with carrying or having maybe to use it in an extreme encounter. Trading or selling it if and when that time comes.

It's like a car in that respect. Modding a car with wings, weird paint schemes, or other out there cosmetic adaptations narrows one's market. And if trading at a dealership, is sure to cost a bundle to the customer looking to use it for a trade-in. Same goes for firearms. Your market shrinks when you do permanent modifications to your gun and can make it difficult to move itif and when when the time comes that you want to let it go. It also reduces your bargaining position.

Just something to think about. If this is not an issue and doing something like this fits your wants, needs, and desires, by all means, have at it. If, on the other hand, it is a spurt of the moment thing, then you may want to give it some thought first before spending the money and making this change.

May I ask what the reasoning is for considering this?

Looks like a shoe horn is being used for a beavertail.

Z71bill · 03-06-2013, 07:08

Do you want a manual thumb safety so you can carry the gun without a holster?

Actually, no.

Israeli style is to carry one NOT in chamber, and to draw and rack slide during presentation, no? That means you don't trust the safety or anything.

To be able to say "safety is between the ears", you need to have one in the chamber and just know to keep your booger hook off the trigger until time to shoot.

Best safety of all but not foolproof.

scattershot · 03-06-2013, 08:52

I like it.

Pass but then that's just me. SJ 40

I have seen this device on a couple of guns. It's pretty flimsy, and I wouldn't trust it under hard use. IMO, all you need are: 1) A good holster, and 2) to keep your finger out of the trigger guard unless you are firing.

But, hey--as others have said, it's your equipment. On the other hand, you did ask for opinions here on Glocktalk.

Its your gun so do as you wish. I got the same crap when I placed a sidelocker on my Glock 26.

Nope, it's a G4G19 w/Cominolli thumb safety.

Why not save a lot of money and just get an M&P with a thumb safety from the factory? I wouldn't trust an aftermarket safety on a self-defense gun that wasn't designed to have one.
