Yeah, I actually went and confirmed this last night with an empty casing. Maybe I have common sense or something but I always unload my gun before field stripping it.

Wrong. You cannot remove the slide from the frame without pulling the trigger first! Then one must slightly pull the slide backwards to while operating the disassembly levers. This should be a non-issue for a responsible gun owner practicing proper gun safety.

I'm sorry. You are absolutely correct. I was presuming that the shooter would not be a complete idiot and not unload the gun prior to disassembly. As mentioned before, this is *not* a Glock issue, but a common sense "safety" issue. Its also why I stated that the action would be impossible if the gun was loaded, meaning a round chambered.
