SIDERLOCK® is a security trigger designed for Glock® pistols, which replaces the original trigger to offer a safer and more secure blockade of the firing action.
Glock® pistols are known for the ease and speed in which the pistol can be fired, and it is those very capabilities that require greater precautions when the pistol is not holstered or not in a position to be safely fired. Glocks® own built-in safety futures combined with the SIDERLOCK® trigger is the perfect combination to provide improved gun handling safety.
The SIDERLOCK® concept is simple: With a push on the safety pin a sliding pin acts to block or release the movement of the central pivot of the trigger, where by avoiding an accidental discharge when the slide is in the block position, and behaves exactly as the original Glock® trigger when in the release position, all the while maintaining the original manufacture specifications.
SIDERLOCK® adheres to the same high manufacturing standards as Glock®, using only high quality materials, a simple design and construction process, and therefore is guaranteed for life.
SIDERLOCK® was developed in Argentina by its inventor and was tested and approved by shooters of Glock® world wide.

No thanks and no need. I got the picture of trying to disengage the thing while being attacked. Keep the gun holstered and know how to return it to the holster safely. Seems it would cause more problems than solve. That is my opinion.

+1. It seems as if the inventor is well-intentioned, but he's trying to scratch an itch that doesn't exist. Maybe a first cousin to this:

But ..... each person has their own perceived needs as far as personal weaponry goes. All I can say is that the trigger with the second trigger safety and the aluminum or steel frame for a Glock is not for me.

I index my booger hook, that's my safety. And yes I carry a Glock.

Yes, I've seen it. I believe it's a disaster waiting to happen. Disengage a safety by putting your finger on the trigger? No thanks!

You guys are forgetting something very important. The only kind of guns that the gun ban movement likes are guns that either don't work at all or guns that are useless for anything other than playing games.
That's how I would classify this "enhancement".
So-called "smart guns" are another variation on this theme. Cops don't want them for a variety of (sound) tactical reasons. But the gun ban lobby loves them (even though they don't exist yet) because in theory they make guns less useful for self defense.
(PS: That's another type of gun that the gun ban lobby loves - guns that do not exist.)
As time goes on and by increments the "legitimate" use of guns is confined to sports, they can begin to argue that guns are simply too dangerous to society to allow for this kind of sporting activity and so we should simply ban them.
This is the path that the UK followed, and that Canada and Australia (and others) are headed down as we write this.
Bottom line: Don't anybody go holding their breath waiting for cops to fit their Glocks with this feature.
