Glock safety hazard from srawstring or lanyard

[lsw]

Sorry if this is a dupe, I did search first. Thought it was something every glock user should be aware of.

Bad holster not glocks fault nor the jacket

It's not just Glock's. Any firearm carried OWB hip has the potential to have that happen.

Simple solution, lose the drawstrings/lanyards. They can be more of a liability than an asset. Or use your weak hand to expose the mouth of the holster to ensure no items other than your sidearm enter the holster while re-holstering.

Has nothing to do with the holster. Has EVERYTHING to do with incompetent and irresponsible reholstering. 2 hands were needed to reholster. That left support hand needs to sweep back/clear/lift up that jacket and anything else away from the holster mouth when dropping that pistol back in.
Irresponsible handling.

SHotguns also have a defect where if you chamber a round, turn off the safety, aim it at your head, and put your toe on the trigger...it may result in a shortened music career.

...I will add that this is pretty much the only thing I like about the xd's grip safety. If you press your thumb on the back of the slide, it keeps the slide in battery as you holster and takes pressure off the grip safety, reducing the liklihood of this happeneing if you're an idiot.

This is why I'm not a big shotgun guy One shouldn't try climbing up a shotgun like it's a stripper pole

To be fair, the alternative was to wake up next to Courtney Love the next morning.

Knock on wood.

Gun ownership for going on 30 years. Glocks since 1987. Never shot myself once.

So Glocks are defective in that if you use something to pull the trigger the gun will fire??? Oh the humanity!!!

I belly laughed... and now I feel a twinge of guilt...

I'd take a slug.

Also aplies to most other striker fired guns with safeties incorperated into the trigger. And with a bit more effort of working at it , it's been known to happen to DA/SA autos , and even DA revolvers.

that gonna leave a mark.

i've seen it so many times at local matches too.. people are in a hurry to holster and not paying attention to what is around the holsters and dont bother to move things around to have proper holstering.

FTFY

You could purchase a quality weapon like the one in this video and then you would have no worries at all.

One of the very few accidental discharges I have ever seen.

That is the correct use and example of the term "accidental discharge"...now, if we could just teach that to the media.

Holy shit.

I've only ever seen maybe 3 or 4 in my lifetime including that one and they were cook offs from overheated barrels. Rare opportunity for folks to see what the difference is between negligent and accidental when discussing unintended discharges.

Holy shit.

That's exactly what I said!
