Well, not really sure how close I came to shooting myself but it was a pretty serious situation. My new Glock 19 on nightable and an afternoon nap.

1. If a Glock goes off in the woods and there's nobody there to hold it does it make a sound?

Yes.

2. Will it cycle?

No. Casing still in the chamber.

3. Will the neighbors call the cops?

No. It's barely louder than a .22.

As soon as I got this thing home I was concerned by the lack of a manual safety because I knew it would be a problem for ME. I personally have to keep a firearm chambered if I want to be able to use it for self defense. It has a little safety lever on the trigger and a terrible, long and sloppy trigger pull due to an internal "safety" that prevents the firing pin from being fully cocked until you pull (not squeeze) the trigger. None of which will prevent ME from setting it off with a little pawing on it. I was trying to push the button on my alarm clock and don't remember tugging or squeezing on anything. There was nothing between me and the Glock that could have braced it in place for me to apply the required pressure to the trigger with an accidental brush of the finger. It was merely sitting on the nightable and I should have been able to drag it off the edge by the trigger without it firing. The only way I know I set it off is that is obviously the only explanation.

Couldn't find a hole in any walls, etc., where hole should have been. Just jacket and lead everywhere. So, I went into the bathroom to check myself for holes and then got a cup of coffee.

BTW, very unimpressed with the damage done by this round. I've read all the studies on the internet, seen the jello shots, etc., but this thing is nothing more than a dangerous toy based on what I just saw. It'll be traded in on a .45.
