GORRAMIT.
You know, if I could keep my own frakking characterization in mind for this thing, I'd be a lot better off.
Ben is pissed right now. (Also, afraid.) And when he gets pissed, he doesn't run on the way Alex does. He chops. And thus this:
Becomes this:
Gee, that's better. *snarl*
Because, yeah, that first sentence would be fine if it was in Alex's POV. But it's not. And I know I should just be writing it and leave the editing for later, but it bugs. And if it bugs, then I'm blocked.
ETA: And, as the handsome and talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
speakr2customrs points out, the Glock does not have a safety you can play with, with your thumb and I'm an idiot. The Hubby or my Writing Buddy probably would have caught that, but I'm glad someone around here is paying attention. Thanks, speakr2customrs!

Ben found a tall rock and sat on top of it, flipping the safety on and off hisGlockSmith with his thumb, which he knew violated all sorts of rules, but he was at the point where he didn't care.

An after-market external safety kit is available for the Glock and can be fitted but it's very rare because few people want to spend $125 for something that is really totally superfluous (a Glock is harder to fire accidentally than almost any other gun anyway). Glock themselves made a special model Glock-17 with external safety for the Tasmanian Police Force, and they've just produced a new prototype with an external safety which they hope to sell to the British Army, but they're very unlikely to be in the hands of someone not either a Tasmanian policeman or someone who actually works for Glock.
Unless you've specified that Ben has fitted an after-market external safety perhaps you should consider giving him an alternative weapon. Perhaps a Heckler & Koch USP; that is available in versions both with and without an external safety.
