Yeah, hat makes sense. But a Glock still feels like a weird blocky thing in my hand, and I couldn't hit a damn thing with the one I borrowed from a friend at the range. Maybe it was just that one, or whatever. You find something that works for you and it just works, noting wrong with that.
I really like the point about that safety - it's why I keep the safety off on my 92fs; I just know that if I HAD TO use it, I'd probably forget and get killed if the safety was on. Pretty sure I'm breaking at least 2 laws in California by having it at the ready like that, though.

I don't use a mechanical safety on any of my guns - because I use the one between my ears.
I think relying on a mechanical safety as a sense of security actually encourages poor handling habits that lead to an increased risk of a negligent discharge, because people stop using their brain and get lax on the four rules.
Also, if a Glock doesn't fit your hand, don't choose one. You're better off with a gun that's comfortable, and I think it's reasonable to choose something else for that reason. I was speaking more in general regarding people who just seem to dislike Glocks having never even touched one.
