I am afraid you have been drinking the Glock kool-aid.
Firing pins can get stuck forward on any pistol. Striker fired or not - early model Glocks in particular had an ugly tendency to slam-fire - more so than other autopistols because of the way the firing pin was fitted. Later on they changed the design's firing pin to incorporate a firing pin safety more like the Colt 1911 Series 80 firing pin block. Unfortunately, there's a lot of early Glocks still running around out there that haven't been back in for this or the numerous other 'updates' which should really be named 'silent recalls.'
In fact, the last of the early firing pin 'updates' was to correct a problem where the weapon could spontaneously discharge while not moving or being disturbed at all.
April 1, 1992
Glock, Inc. announces a production change of the firing pin safety system. This new firing pin safety system has been installed in all production Glock pistols since November, 1991. A voluntary upgrade is being offered to maintain the Glock tradition of ensuring that all of our pistols are up to the latest standards in 21st century Glock technology.
Most importantly, the components of the new firing pin safety system are not interchangeable with the components of the old system and Glock will always strive towards maintaining this feature of interchangeability while working to ensure future interchangeability.
The upgraded firing pin safety system consists of: the firing pin, firing pin safety, the extractor, the spring loaded bearing and the trigger bar. The upgraded system is applicable only to Glock pistols with the following serial number ranges :
Glock 17 - alpha prefixes AA - WF
Glock 19 - alpha prefixes through WJ
Glock 20 - alpha prefixes through WW
Glock 21 - alpha prefixes through XL
Glock 22 - alpha prefixes through YA
Glock 23 - alpha prefixes through SK
The upgraded firing pin safety has a new surface finish making it nearly 100% saltwater corrosion resistant. Also, after rigorous and extensive testing, the new system proves to be more durable and has a longer useful life. Here, as always, Glock is working toward maintaining its standard of perfection.
So much for 'Glock Perfection.' In fact, if you send in your first or second gen Glock for service or even inspection, what you will get back from Glock will be your original barrel, frame and slide - everything else will be completely new because they will have replaced all the other internals. Whether you wanted them to or not.
Also, there are other pistols out there just as reliable if not more so than the Glock. What you posted read like a Glock ad; Glocks have several problems as well. Unsupported chambers leading to kabooms in certain calibers is a classic issue still unaddressed. You *cannot* shoot reloads or unjacketed/lead-only rounds in a Glock because of the polygonal rifling. The trigger is meh at best. The older mags were not fully metal lined so they swelled up when loaded and would not drop free of the pistol if there were more than a couple rounds left in the mag. There's more but you get the idea.
Glocks are good combat pistols, but they aren't god pistols and there are many others on the market as good if not better. I have a first-gen Glock 19 (yes, it's been back to the factory repeatedly for all the 'updates') and I like the 30 in particular - but they're not anywhere near what the factory hypes them to be. There's reasons my carry pistol is a Springfield XD45C and *not* a Glock. Starting with the externally visible and tactilely verifiable firing pin/cocking status indicator and grip safety, things Glock doesn't have:
And continuing on with the much, much better loaded chamber indicator:
XD:
Glock:
... and the fact that the trigger is true single action instead of half-single-half-double and of course the aforementioned issue of the Glock grip angle.
As for preban magazines... While my XD doesn't have any pre-bans, there's a lot of pistols that have pre-ban mags available - whether their own or ones that 'happen' to fit them. Smith and Wesson mags are one such common mag, up there with Glock - but both magazine counts are dwarfed by my old friend, the Browning High Power, which has 'high capacity' magazine production going back to 1935. Glock still hasn't caught up with the BHP mag numbers. And, I'd add, the late MkII and MkIII Browning High Powers have an external safety that physically locks the firing pin in place as it engages - in fact, you can't fully engage the safety on those versions unless the firing pin is retracted and in position, so it indicates the position of the firing pin as well. This is something the Glock doesn't have; many pistol designs also incorporate equally positive firing pin safeties so that what you fear is highly unlikely to happen with them - less likely than Glock, even!
Again, Glocks are a good combat pistol, but they're not the zenith of pistol development and both older and newer pistols do many or even all things better than the Glock. The Glock is the Camry of pistols, really.
Edit: Re the XD's grip safety and firing pin safety, this description of it from an ARFcomer:
The firing pin safety is a passive firing pin block that prevents the forward motion of the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. With the trigger pulled, the passive firing pin block is disengaged allowing the firing pin to move forward past the breach face.
If the grip safety isn't depressed, the trigger doesn't function (in fact, the trigger won't move unless you have the grip safety depressed - Spectre). So, you have to grip the pistol properly AND put your finger on the trigger AND pull the trigger fully to fire the weapon. Between the grip safety and the trigger safety, it's impossible to get an XD to accidentally discharge holstering it or dropping it.
Glocks have no firing pin position indicator and no grip safety to prevent accidental trigger movement. On an XD, if you are worried about a slamfire, you can look at or touch the back of the weapon to determine if the firing pin is forward, neutral or back before pulling the slide to chamber a round. This is something you can also do on most hammer fired pistols to one degree or another - you can tell where the firing pin is on a 1911 or BHP by looking at the back of the firing pin which is visible at the back of the slide.
