Exactly, Gatordev.
NavtOffRec, my point was it's more about preference- a Glock isn't any more/less likely to go off unintended than another pistol, and the vast majority of NDs (including the one you mentioned) result from people forgetting one or more of the 4 basic firearm rules. The action that makes me the most nervous? The 1911. If I'm not proficient, I'm constantly checking it before I draw to make sure I didn't forget to engage the thumb safety when it was holstered. That's why training (including dry-fire) with a pistol is important. But I don't think it's a problem with the 1911 action itself, just my personal idiosyncrasy, since I learned to shoot with an XD that doesn't have a thumb safety.
talking about preference I get that, and if for some reason I needed someone to use their firearm to protect me I would want a person that was proficient with a firearm they preferred to shoot.
