...and tell a slightly different story.

I carry a .38 Smith revolver (OK it's a .357 but I carry .38s in it and 'thirtyeight' is much more jury friendly)

It has, what, a 16 pound trigger pull?

When I trained on (but never carried) the Glock, I was immediately struck by how light the trigger pull is.

I suppose one could use the 'New York Trigger' (10 lbs thereabouts) but the feel is not intuitive, in that there is no hammer to watch rise and then fall. It's just a miserable trigger until it goes bang.

I know people who carry Glocks, some carry empty chamber. I kind of agree with the decision.
