What do you mean by powerful?

Glock makes all sorts of calibers and sizes, but the basics of them are all the same, how powerful the gun is not a factor in the three year old pulling the trigger. (not that I am saying he did, just going off the story)

A three year old definitely has the strength to pull the trigger.

HUh, well here we have the pistol of the accident. In order for the gun to shoot it has to be unlocked, and by the looks of it, there is no way in hell a 2 year old has the strength to unlock it and then pull the trigger.

The article says it was a two year old, not three. The trigger pull is 5.5lbs, not much, any kid outside a baby can pull it somehow. The Glock is a bit unique that it has a safety trigger, but hardly outside the realm of someone messing with it and pulling the trigger.

That is not a Glock on the video, a Glock is a SA and does not have a decocker.

Like I said in post #21 there is an update,they highly doubt that it is the child.


Father,missed custody hearing on Friday,he is the one that made the 911 call, does not seem like a good combination to me, plus they say it took 5 p0unds of pressure to fire the weapon,hard for a young child to accomplish.

I know, I was referring to the more recent posted article. You are correct, it stated three years old.
