The key thing is, you need to understand your use case, and how the pistol fits into it. If not, youвЂ™re better served by something like a Glock, where there is nothing between вЂњholsteredвЂќ and killing the threat.

If youвЂ™re the sort of idiot that leaves a pistol loose in a drawer, then by all means, get one with a manual safety. Simplicity itself, and is simplicity that that use case calls for. Draw only when needed, fire to eliminate the threat, and re-holster.

The Glock is actually a perfect pistol for military tyros and civilian self-defense, the people who are not pistol experts. Put those same people on a Glock, where everything is consistent and the pistol is always ready-to-fire out of the holster, when carried properly? They do a lot better. Having worked around supposedly вЂњtrainedвЂќ military personnel who needed to manage an M9, IвЂ™m here to tell you that there are an awful lot of people who canвЂ™t manage that system of safety and two different trigger pulls very well at all, and who screw it up by the numbers. IвЂ™d also say that the Glock is a better pistol for pure defense than many others. If the user selects that carry option, who is at fault? IвЂ™d class that as purely a matter of negligence, failing to understand the weapon. The Glock is not an appropriate weapon to carry like that. Pdb, if the user selects an improper weapon for their intended carry, who is wrong? The user, or the designer of the weapon? Failure to understand the nature of the device does not make it a poor tool it makes you a poor user of that tool. The rest of us find them quite effective tools, because there is the least possible between you and using it effectively when necessary. If you lack the mindset, inculcated by either training or personal effort, and if you are a person of child-like mien, then itвЂ™s not the gun for you. The Glock requires a certain mindset, and a grown-up. IвЂ™ve kept one on my person at all times (when legally able) for the last twenty years, and oddly enough, nobody has died unintentionally in all that time. Keep that in mind, and the pistols are perfectly safe. There are specific design characteristics about the Glock system you have to keep in mind: One, the holster is an integral part of the вЂњsafety systemвЂќ, and two, that the gun was designed to kill as easily and effectively as possible once drawn. ThatвЂ™s the paradigm it is designed around, not for some numbnut idiot who is going to carry it loose in a purse.

The intent of the design was for it to be perfectly safe so long as it was holstered, and instantly ready to do its job once unholstered. It was not designed for these use cases where people carry them around like magic talismans that are going to make the bad guy go away. The Glock paradigm is this: The gun is ALWAYS dangerous, always ready to fire. If the gun is not under your control, it should be made safe before you allow it out of your control.

It isnвЂ™t the fault of the pistol, itвЂ™s the fault of the idiot who placed it where the kid could get at it, without first making it safe. You leave a pistol out where a kid can get at it, youвЂ™re negligent. There are negligent discharges, and there are unintentional discharges, but there are no вЂњaccidentalвЂќ ones. Pdb, there is no such thing as an вЂњaccidental dischargeвЂќ.

If you would like more information or authentication of a Walther PP or PPK, Tom is happy to help (free of charge), and can be reached at specific variations are: Tracing back these specific guns has been done by a group of researchers using the archives preserved by the American and German armed forces. They were not the only such special contracts, as such arrangements were also made for organizations like railway security and bank guards. These guns comprised several special contracts, distinct from general military and commercial production. Today, courtesy of Tom from Legacy Collectibles, we are taking a look at Walther PP and PPK pistols made specifically for the SS and RSHA.
