A lot of cops shoot themselves reholstering their weapon with their finger on the trigger too.
I once had a PPD range instructer tell me that in the first year the Glocks were introduced to the Philly Cops that there was a 500% increase in accidental discharges.
I have no idea how he arrived at the figure, but given the stupidity of 2 luitenants i would be surprised if a similar figure wasn't 'achieved' in the US military.

Striker design pistols are OK as long as executed properly(P7 springing immediately to mind).
The p7 is an excellent gun. I favor the sigpro 2340 or others in the series.
The MSP is by far the coolest gun ever created. Well, really not the gun but the ammo is ingenious.

Aren't you so excited that it comes in 9mm AND .40.
But that is a great gun.
You know there is no such thing as an "accidental dischage". Its a negligent discharge.
We just had a trainee shoot himself in the knee reholstering his Glock 22 but that's the first one that's happened here, and we've had glocks for over 10 years. We have had one or two NDs with officers who didn't check that their weapons were clear when they came off the range to clean them.
Unfortunately, most cops are not gun people, and anyone who can't keep their finger off the trigger deserves what they get IMO.
I like the glock, but I do agree that the military won't go for it because of the action and lack of manual safety. Unfortunately, the Sig P220, which i think would be ideal for the military, doesn't have one either. On the other hand, the army has had 226s for years and they don't have one either.
Rule 303
The army uses 228s, not 226s(i think).
I thought it was the 229?
No, not that i know of.
Pretty sure they issue either the M-9(Model 92) Berreta or the M-10(P-228) Sig Sauer.
I meant the M10 so it is the p228.
Rule 303
It's the M11. M10 was the Weapon they wanted to make but no one would compete http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m11.htm
But your right it is the 228
LOL....close enough for me.
You people are too similar to my brother. Its almost scary.
But hey, sometimes I'm like that. Must get the number right.
I know so many M-, Mk, and AN/ designations it would make your head spin.
In fact, it's a pretty safe bet i've forgotten more designations than you've ever even heard of, lol.
Can't get 'em all right.
