Does anyone know if these exist in the US? I can find no info.

It's the manual safety system they came up with for the Joing Combat Pistol competition...........you know, the one that never happened.
This was done so the safety would be ambidextrous, unlike the Cominoli-type that they did have on a few factory guns (for a certain police agency). Never seen one in person here in the U.S. though. |

That looks scary... if you mash the saftey you put it right back into safety? Is that what the little picture is telling me? +1 I knew nothing of manual safety on a glock besides that trigger upgrade with the push button pin in middle I'm no expert by far but that design in the picture doesn't look right.

Naw, pushed to one side, either side, it's ready to fire. Pushed so it's in the middle, it's safe. i guess this was the only way, from an engineering standpoint, to have an ambidextrous manual safety on a Glock, without redesigning the whole thing. The Cominolli type, which has been around for years, is like the thumb safety on a 1911, but it's impossible to make it ambi, which was one of the requirements of the now defunct Joint Combat Pistol deal. Down toward the bottom of this page is a pic of one installed on a G27. Towards the bottom of this page a more detailed pic, different Glock. The Cominolli and that "crossblock" one, we'll call it, are the only types of manual safeties I've seen on a Glock. (no, that "sliderlock" bullshit doesn't count, it's idiotic, as activating or deactivating it causes you to violate one of the fundamental safety rules). Glock did make a limited number of pistols with one just like the Cominolli version at one time for a LEO agency. |

The sliderlock seemed a good idea also but yea putting your finger on the trigger to disengage a safety is a logical NO NO. |
