It only put a hole in his ceiling, but he was able to recreate the problem with the gun unloaded and made a video of it. Stock Glock triggers SUCK, but those guns are very safe. That's not to say they're not unforgiving of people who don't follow the basic gun safety rules. But I've dropped mine (loaded) on the garage floor at least twice, it landed square on the back of the slide and nothing happened.
I agree with Glock triggers. One thing I hate about my G19. Also the stock sights suck. I don't even know why I bought it. Oh wait, yes I decided to use a Trijicon RMR and light. The only way I would consider doing a trigger mod, is perhaps a G17 trigger.

You are 100% correct with safety mechanisms with the striker fire guns.
