That about sums it up.I've got the 9ve. I like it. Seems like they get a bad rap because of the early models. Never had a problem with mine. Fires every single time I pull the trigger. No jams nothing. Trigger pull is a little heavy for some, but you get used to it. I'd buy it again without hesitation.
The two things I don't like is the no safety and no hammer, that will take some getting used to.
I have owned one for ten years now. Had some trouble when I first purchased it, after a trip to a gunsmith it was fine. I would not buy another one, but I will keep the one I've got.
Your "safety" is the trigger, per say. It's a 2 piece trigger that has to be pressed right in order to fire. If you pull only on the upper portion, there's a tang that catches and won't let the trigger fully depress.
And the whole thing behind "no safety" "no hammer" ... Glocks have been having that go on for a while and people buy them all the time.
