Wow...he's lucky it wasn't worse.

You should feel uneasy! Too many safeties to remove if draw-and-fire are necessary, and have fun with the grip safety if you take a round through the hand.

Sounds like some pussy bullshit I'd hear from a limp wristed Kahr owner.

One safety that can be clicked off with your thumb as you're pulling the gun out? Eh...

And LOL @ getting shot in the hand. Shouldn't you be keeping all the far-fetched hypotheticals in the Batman thread?

The only single action Glock is the Glock 7, and it costs more than you make in a month.

I know it's a mental thing, but despite all the safeties built into the 1911, when I carried mine, I carried cocked and safety on, but still felt more uneasy about it than carrying my Glock with no manual safety. Maybe it's because of the exposed hammer? I don't know, can't explain it.

People regularly ask this and I can never figure out why. A 1911 is not a double action, it's only a single action. If you don't carry it cocked and locked it's a paperweight. Like mentioned above, a 1911 has a thumb safety, a grip safety, and it has a trigger, 3 safeties, there couldn't be a safer gun out there.

Anyone carry a 1911,obviously holstered, cocked and ready to fire?! Would it be that much safer to have it uncocked?! I dunno. Just askin.

Easy solution to this is dont be stupid. Carry your gun in a hoster that covers the trigger.

No

accidentally pulled the trigger of his Springfield .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. It was holstered inside his pants,

[Mach1Run]

Wonder what model SA .40? You can't get a XDs to fire without depressing the backstrap safety and the trigger safety can you?

[Cooter]

More or less wanted to hear opinions...there are safe methods of carrying a Glock...I know that. I feel more comfortable carrying my PF9 than I would a light triggered "whatever", but I do carry in an IWB holster that covers the trigger and if I did ever carry in a pocket...that would be the ONLY thing in the pocket. My BIL is a big fan of Glock's, his father was with DPD for over 30 years (still works WITH DPD) and is a gun collector and even HE told me that he would be hesitant to carry a Glock (as a CCW), but had no issue with them as an open carry duty weapon.

just saying the trigger pull on a Glock isn't a light, crisp, single action

you don't accidentally pull it

[slow06]

If you pull the trigger on a gun, you should expect it to fire.

That about covers it.

[BlackGT]

Booger hook off trigger = no problems, regardless if there is a manual safety or not!
