Dear Glock guys: Grip safeties aren't stupid

[propellerhead]

Cliff notes: Leather holster forms a crease and finally makes its way into the trigger guard. Glock goes boom.

It formed a crease because Lt Fat Ass was attacking it with his hate handles.

that's why I prefer kydex holsters.....

Also, kydex/leather hybrid holsters FTW.

Glocks are teh suck

Who the fuck uses a holster that has worn so much that the leather is inside the trigger gaurd? When was the last time it was unholstered? Surely he had to drag it out of the leather.

[BradM]

Now I see where he says he knew the crease was there and had to be careful when he holstered the weapon. What an idiot.

I woulda never thought the muzzle flash from a 9 would do that much damage. Blew hole in pants underwear and leg. I think he's blaming the glock but really just ripped a pancake fart and is blaming the gun for insurance purpose

i'd believe his fat roll extending out past the line of fire made contact with the bullet, and not just muzzle flash.

Never cared for glocks, I always enjoy having at least ONE safety other than a trigger shoe.

I can’t say I didn’t know the crease had been formed in the holster. I trained myself to be sure that when holstering, to make sure the gun was fully in the holster, with the trigger protected. On this day, did I forget to do that when I holstered up? Did the leather finally get so soft that a combination of body movements and interference by the cushy leather seat move the Glock enough to create a situation where the trigger was engaged by the holster?

So you know that your holster has a flaw and will potentially contact your guns trigger, and your only course of action is to carefully work around it?

Holster = 50$.
Pants = 30$
Undies = 5$
Seat for tactical 1998 Malibu= 100$

Living with the fact that you almost shot yourself in the leg because you were too lazy to buy a new holster? Yikes.

Thats going to leave a mark....

[ceyko]

Looks like a holster/user issue to me, not a weapon issue. I'm sure a lot of folks carry with their actual safeties off - so this would've been no different on other weapons, even though the Glock haters are going to feel strongly about it being otherwise.

in other news, if you dont close your pocket knife you might cut your leg.

god bless.
