In the early days of the Glock Era , AD's were a big thing in the news and within LE circles , to the effect of " OMG we're / they're having X hundred % more Ad's than we did before ! " .
Part of it was that for many of them , they had transitioned from revolvers , and the " round in chamber " thing was virgin territory . Part was a couple of Glock specific little quirks .
Part was " constant pull striker fired " as a class vs DA Revolver ( or lesser extent DA/ SA autos ) . Typically upon cumulatively thousands of times of reholstering , a shirt tail , jacket drawstring , holster safety strap that holds shape precurled , or whatever will get fouled inside the triggergaurd . This type of thing also happened with DA Revolvers ( or earlier DA/ SA autos ) , but would require pushing down against 10-12 lbs of extra resistance for longer distance instead of 5.5 lb for short distance . So more likely to end up with bullet in leg or butt .
It varies , but LE/ Corrections / Armed Security / etc have to unholster & reholster if not unload & reload frequently , depending upon rules of agencies and specific facilities . The risks are low for each time , but the more often more people do so , the odds of raw numbers kick in .
Now that makes sense.
