The Glock also has a mechanism on the grip that must be depressed. The only way to make the gun go off is to hold it like you're going to shoot it and pull the trigger.
They have this because too many people got shot while in danger, and they couldn't get the safety off their gun.
there are people who carry with no safety mechanism whatsoever
Really? What kind of gun doesn't have a safety? They've been a part of firearms since the 19th century. You have to go back to the age when craftsmen made guns to find them without safeties.
Oh I have one of those. I have the version with the safety.
Even with the safety off it would be OK though. It has a grip safety and you really need to be holding it like you're shooting it in order to fire.
I like the actual safety though, because I don't carry the thing, and I know it's not worth it to lack that switch safety.
I don't think a lot of people die because they are losing draws like a bunch of cowboys, compared to people just blowing their head off because their gun was unsafe

:jesus-cleanse:
No. There aren't.
What you're talking about is called a "thumb safety" and lots of guns don't have them. This isn't new, either, the Glock 17 came out in 1982.
Sig P320. The Taurus that goes off when you shake it.
Nevermind, the Taurus does have a switch safety.
But the P320 only has an external safety device in the M17/M18 configuration
Not a kind of gun you would carry, but I one an old shotgun that just has a trigger and a hammer
The hammer is basically a safety, the gun won't go off unless you manually cock it.
Single action firearm. In single action the the hammer is the safety.
