People who have non shit holsters (leather or kydex ) that actually pay attention while they're re-holstering don't have this problem.
This is sort of a dupe, btw..... trying to find the original...

Then go buy a Kahr.Kahr makes more sense
someone should invent a safety for the glock that can he installed in the trigger like a button or something...
someone tell this guy to quit being cheap and buy a holster that fits the pistol. Not a universal one.http://www.itstactical.com/warcom/f...n-cause-accidental-discharges/comment-page-1/
Now of course the holster sucks but can someone describe to me a scenario of a glock not being discharged with its "safety" on where without it it would be discharged.
Before you start getting red. I love glocks. Own few of them but I think they are either for open carry or for winter. because other than plastic (which prints) holster I think its dangerous. Yeh crossbred and others is great leather. But leather will go soft one day.
PS
yeh yeh eyh the best safety is in your head
That question might actually matter if people with brains expected that safety to do anything useful, it really doesn't. I'm not sure if its true or not, but I actually heard that it was intended more of a drop safety than anything else- to keep the trigger from moving under its own inertia if the gun was dropped.
This "problem" you are trying to invent isn't exclusive to Glocks, either. a Kahr, an XD, an M&P, etc, could have all discharged with a similar act of lunacy behind the gun.

People shoot themselves because they are ****ing morons; Gaston Glock didn't sneak up on this mental midget and pull the trigger.
This.
When you blame the object, you remove the responsibility from the dumbass doing the dumbass thing. Whether it is using a gun while committing a crime or shooting himself because you are using garbage equipment.

Anyway, even if the concensus was that the holsters was not a piece of shit, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that that rig was unserviecable and should have been replaced a long time ago. This guys sounds like a moron.
+1The holster in question is not a G&G, it's a Galco JAK-202.... its a piece of shit. It has "gay" written all over it.

Good choice. Comp-tac are the best out there.I just bought a new holster because of this thread. I ordered a Comp-tac Infidel IWB. So, thanks.
+1
Anyone who admits to owning a Galco has something wrong with him.QUOTE]
I disagree. While I am aware that they do have sell some holsters that are total crap, I have a King Tuk that is higher quality than a SuperTuck, a Miami ClassicII that is great and a Royal Deluxe Horse hide that is decent
Silly question here but here goes......I have never fired or hendled a glock but from the research I gather it is a hammer strike pistol with no external safety....only a button on the trigger. Anyone ever herard of this type of incident coming from a double action revolver? I know my double action trigger is quite stiff so i'm pretty sure I'd realize if I were holstering my gun and caught the trigger and the hammer started to come back......and when I holster my sp101 I watch the gun go into the holster as i place it in just to be sure. Is a glock trigger pull that light that if you caught the trigger you would not notice it being depressed?
I'm curious how he got that chopstick? to illustrate the angle of the shot so fast while still bleeding. With a PROPER fitting holster that COMPLETELY covers the trigger guard this would not have happened. He should have seen this coming unless of course he was blind.
This whole thread has been a dupe. Video and duscussion all repeated from last year.
That being said the conclusion was that the holster was not made for a glock. I think it was a beretta 92 holster.
The guy was an idiot.
The extra leather left when using the smaller gun is what caused the firing. Had nothing to do with glock safeties or quality of the hoster.

I wear a canvas holster (that's considerably softer than leather)....nary an issue with M&P45 or P229. Like Mike said, pay attention and this is a non-issue.
Reason not to be cheap and when its time for a new holster, get one.
