This item has been around for awhile, but this is the first video I've seen on it (not that I was looking for one before). I think this is a very clever addition for a Glock and if I was carrying a Glock regularly, I would have one of these.

Lack of a safety turned me away from looking at one as a new conceal carrier. I see now there are some actual safeties available to add to a Glock. You don't like safeties? Don't use it. Those who like safeties? Get a pistol with one or add it. Quit mocking and condemning the other side.

Its just too narrow and too short to be an effective grip safety under less than optimum conditions/positions. That should have copied an effective grip safety ....... 1911.
I recently picked up a 48 after years of shooting SAO with thumb safety. First day running drills I went to reholster my Glock, though about it for a bit and removed the holster and then put the holster back on. I’m pretty comfortable with it not having a safety but the reholster make me nervous. I miss thumbing my hammer. This may be something to give me my insurance back.

I just ran a students gun in class yesterday, it was a larger XD in 9mm with a huge aftermarket GS, still not something I want on a defensive gun.
The shooter was a gun gamer/competition. It wasn't really a carry gun, oversized controls, big magwell, etc.

Just say passive safety or active safety. I get what you mean.

As was mentioned above by SWsouthpaw and Rooster, the Walther PPS (both M1 and M2) has something similar built into the gun, which is one of the reasons I choose the PPS M2.
If you keep your thumb pressed against the slide-plate and feel a poke then the trigger is being pulled by something. It alerts you to stop, but also the gun won’t fire if the thumb is kept firmly pressed not allowing the cocking indicator to fully protrude.
It could be argued as some do that neither this nor the SCD are needed if you are vigilant, but I like the extra safety measure while holstering.

Well, if you're vigilant, and also the first person in human history who's never made a mistake.SOS24 said:
It's very possible that you might go through your entire life without making this particular mistake, but that kind of cocksure attitude (about many things, not just guns) has killed a lot of people.
Personally, I'll go with the extra measure of safety.

That's the thing about risk mitigation, understanding that nothing is foolproof and building layers of safety to better negate risk.
The SCD does not replace safe handling and vigilance, it layers on top of safe handling and vigilance, of course for some all the safeties in the world won't matter.
Should I ever have to holster quickly, or in poor conditions where I may not be able to verify a clear holster, like on days where its 15° and I've got 3 layers on I will appreciate the presence of the gadget.

I just don't get the controversy on this thing, but Forums tend to get testy with many things. This sight--that sight--mod this--don't mod that--this is one of those things that isn't for everyone, but if you want it....why should anyone else tell you you're wrong ???? If you don't like it.....move on.
