Why not... Why not make a trigger with a safety that is actually a 2nd trigger mounted on the 1rst trigger. That way the safety and trigger work in one single function?

Why not... Why not make a trigger with a safety that is actually a 2nd trigger mounted on the 1rst trigger. That way the safety and trigger work in one single function? cause the military pretty much always wants an external manual safety. |

So you want a 5 pound trigger and no manual safety on a weapon that weighs over 6 pounds? A weapon that can't be carried in a holster? I'm gonna go with "no" on that one. |

Because the AR doesn’t spend a good part of its time in a holster protecting the trigger guard?
Or because I’m not hanging my Glock on my chest, possibly surrounded by other gear with various things to get snagged in the trigger guard? |
|
because you don't carry an AR in a holster that covers the trigger guard and keeps stuff from pulling the trigger.
eta: I type too slow sometimes |
|
Ummmm. no thanks. I put up the trigger on my glock, I actually like the triggers on my AR's.
Since I normally carry a 1911 for ccw, the act of flicking off a safety comes natural whether it's a 1911 or an AR.
|
|
Yeah, lets fuck with something that has worked well for over 40 years....
Wait, lets add a sear block to the 1911.......... |
|
Because when you transition from your AR to your secondary weapon, you don't want the gun to hook something on your chest rig and go off.
|
|
Why not just turn the selector to fire and then grind it down with a grinder so that you can't turn it anymore?

It works very well on savage rifles, allowing a lighter, crisper pull while remaining safe. Of course that rifle also has a manual safety, to protect against an AD if a branch, packstrap, etc get in the trigger guard. I wouldn't want one on an AR, though.

Ever seen a Savage Accu Trigger?
Yeah it's a bolt gun but pretty much does the same thing. |
|
Quoted: Do they actually make rifles without an external safety? Winchester model 94, but of course you have an excuse, the 94 is a really rare and obscure weapon. |

I think an AR-style safety on a Glock would be much more useful.

There's a big difference between a handgun, carried in a holster until it's presented and pointed at the target, and a rifle that must be carried at all times. |

Yeah, but we have badasses here who insist that "their mind is their safety" and go crashing through the brush while hunting with the safety off. I guess it's proving a point, or masculinity, or something. Me, I take that half a second to deactivate the safety when legal game is spotted. |

My Uzi has one.
Yea why cant i have a beaver tail saftey on my AR? Kharn |

Quoted:
Because in the AR it isn't a safety, it is a selector switch. I was actually taught that it's only a "selector" on a selective-fire weapon. On an AR15 it is indeed a safety. |
|
Awesome idea. While we are at it, we can do away with take down pins on the AR. Instead, AR's will now be taken down by pulling the trigger to release the upper. Lets go one step further. My AR shoulders nicely and goes naturally to point of aim. That's always annoyed me. Get the glock engineers to ruin the grip angle, and make it a big block.

Do they actually make rifles without an external safety? The safety on the AK is such a joke it comes close to meeting this criteria... |

Wrong... it has a half cock on the hammer and a rebound mechanism keeping the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. Thanks for playing |

I must have been doing it wrong all these years, even when not carrying a Glock. |

Well, masterbrain, the glock trigger is unlike any trigger that I know of, except for copies of the glock trigger. a normal double action trigger has a real long length of stroke to the trigger and usually around 10 lb pull weight. a glock trigger has around half the stroke and pull weight. so it's like basically half of a double action. i know that you find this impossible, but i don't think that's a heavy enough trigger pull for a gun without a manual safety, especially for a combat type handgun. i have fired glocks many times, they're not exactly hard to find. my brother even owns one. your argument is based on calling me a troll and pretending that i've never fired a glock and that i told everyone to buy a revolver, none of which is true. but it makes you happy, so by all means stick with it. maybe write "fuck you' in there to make it more impressive i do have a question: why do almost all the posts to this thread say you need a holster as an impromptu safety for the glock? i thought all you glock fanboys just "keep your booger hook off the bang button" |
