I only know the 26 and 27 'cause those are the ones I've been kinda' sorta' interested in (really the 26). I bet the Glock 27 answers the question, "What would the recoil of an LCP be if it were a .40 caliber?"

I can't be the only one who thinks that Glock shouldn't use model numbers that are also popular calibers. If Bersa were like Glock, the Mini Thunder 9 would be a .45. Still, can't argue with Glock stats-Holds lotsa' bullets, always go bang, super slim and light, reasonably priced, and won't set off an airport medal detector .

I'm not saying that with weapons you don't need to be extra careful regardless of safeties, but safeties are things that work when "you" (gray matter) fail, which we all do on a regular basis. End of rant

I will agree with you that shooter will eventually become careless, overly-comfortable/confident, but there are 2 exceptions that cannot be neglected: only point gun toward what you intend to shoot, and finger out of the trigger guard. These rules do not fall under the category of something that gets neglected every once in a while and, I believe, are analogous to not forgetting the baby, and looking both ways before crossing.

Gun safeties are a bad deal all around because if they are relied to work and don't you're screwed, and if they work when you are in a self defence situation, you're screwed. Think about it realistically-You're not going to point the gun in an unsafe direction and pull the trigger when the safety is engaged, and you're not going to allow an untrustworthy person to handle the gun because the safety is engaged; they're just one more thing to worry about when your life is on the line (decockers are nice thought ).
