I know this post is going to upset people but please try to help not criticize. There are kits to put a manual safety on a glock 19 gen 5 but I'm not comfortable doing it myself. Is there anywhere in the raleigh/cary area or i dont mind driving too far that will install it. Please don't comment t any of the typical "only safety you need is between your ears" or "your booger hook is your safety" i know both of these are true but I had a buddy have an ND and put a round through my ankle and I CAN NOT have anything stupid like that ever happen again. I've always been a firm believer in safety on until its time to pull the trigger because crazy stuff happens. I want to use it as my concealed carry but if I can't get a thumb safety its going to either be traded for something that does or its going to become a home defense pistol and I won't keep a round in the chamber which i would hate to do too.
