At least for officers is Portugal. Glock factory installed. Pictures provided by an officer from Portugal.

NYPD is probably on the phone to Glock as we speak...or as we...forum, or post, or whatever we're doing.

No, Ny want a 7 rd mag., and lead bullets .....

Lead is a nogo in NYC, kids chew on that stuff! The new spec is 27lb. trigger(triple action only) and foam projectiles, so as not to offend the recipient!

Did they have a contest to see who could design the most unuseable safety?

Probably .....

The placement of that safety is the most idiotic thing I've seen all year. Granted, it is only January 1. But still.......

I am going to run with the notion that this suffers from the same problem as most all retrofits--no consideration was given in the original design to installing such a feature*, therefore it got stuck where they could make it function in the mechanism with consideration for ergonomics just not being an option that they had available.

*Even if a bit of though was given to it, the gun was designed a few years before serious consideration to ergonomics had become an expected element of gun design. That said, one way or other, I am not surprised that a manual safety fitted to a Glock would present function right up their with bending over and kissing your own rear end.
