Just wondering how many of you guys are using the Striker Control Device from Tau Development Group? I'm pretty sold on the concept and I think there is no reason not to add these. There is no negative effect to the trigger press in any way and it adds an additional layer of safety. This is especially helpful for appendix carry. Check out the review and let me know what you think.

Never heard of it. But I just bought one to try out.
I carry OWB, and a shirt tail getting stuck in the wrong place during re-holstering is a concern for me. Expensive part, but maybe cheap peace of mind. At any rate the cost/benefit/risk analysis justifies the cost for me...if it works as advertised...

Basic training on a DA/SA gun when re-holstering is to put your thumb over the hammer. This serves the same purpose and provides an additional level of security. No brainer to me and I guarantee once you use it on a Glock, you will think twice when re-holstering any other striker fired gun.
PS. There is no way you can pull the trigger with your thumb on the back plate, unless you already have a broken thumb.

That is a great explanation...
As far as the device making the gun unreliable...could someone offer a documented case of the device creating a failure to fire?
Maybe from a PD armorer's archives?
Please-really.

There are a number of cases of unintentional discharges when holstering in relatively low stress training environments and most gun handling is either administrative or training. Add fear and adrenaline to the mix...

I have a few on different Glocks. Sometimes I’ll do 200 draw drills in a range session and I’m not going to take the holster off my belt to reholster each time.
It’s not the speed of reholstering, it’s the vision. And sometimes you don’t have the option for vision.
No, but there have been times where a gun wasn’t seated properly in a holster (or it got caught or pulled an inch out) and the person wasn’t in a position to pull the gun completely out (think crowded place or in sight of others)... then they pushed down to reseat it and BANG!

Of course. And the same morons who do that are also probably too stupid to use a “striker stupidity control device”.There are a number of cases of unintentional discharges when holstering in relatively low stress training environments and most gun handling is either administrative or training.

Like I posted earlier, I don't own one or use one, but if you can't point to it causing a problem I don't understand why you you are so vehemently opposed to it.

I can see why someone might see this device being of value providing it has been proven itself reliable and durable, but I don’t know if it’s been out long enough and in substantial enough numbers to prove it, but that all depends on what kind of track record a given individual expects.
I don’t see a pressing need for the gadget in my case anymore than needing something similar on my enclosed hammer revolvers, but all my Glocks do have heavier trigger springs installed which changes thing a great deal.
If I did decide I needed such a device, I just might find looking at a different platform(hammer fired gun) to be a better solution, but it’s nice to have options so everyone can find the right solution that works for them.

Some pistols are available with or without manual safeties. Are those who choose manual safety models idiots undeserving of gun ownership as well?

I'm not one of those people, but if I were to put myself in their shoes I supposed it might be a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
