The Glock, on the other hand, doesn't have a safety lever. Instead, it uses a double trigger pull mechanism to help prevent accidental firing. I've often wondered if a safety lever gives people a false sense of security. With the Glock, you must always assume the gun is ready to fire, which requires careful handling.

I thought most law enforcement and military agencies use the Glock as standard issue. Isn't it?

Pretty sure my dad had a Beretta, but that was in the 90s, so that may have changed

The Sig P320 (M17/M18) is the successor to the Beretta 92 (M9) as the US military's standard service pistol.

Glocks are the most common among law enforcement in the US these days. The FBI's service pistol is a Glock 19M. Glock claims that the Glock 22 is, "by far the most popular police service pistol in the United States," which surprises me because the 17 and 19 are the service handguns at most big cities, AFAIK.

No. I don't think glock has ever gotten a US military contract.

		They have a contract with the army and are used heavily in the special forces community.
