Glock is designed for outside holster carry - do NOT use such a gun for concealed carry unless you want to carry chamber empty.

I would much rather (and do) carry a Glock concealed IWB with one in the chamber than to carry a 1911 cocked and locked. It horrifies me to think that if the 1911's safety gets snicked off, (not the most difficult thing to do when carrying IWB, especially with an ambi saftey) there is only a 2 1/2 lb trigger pull between me and an ND.

And don't tell me there's a grip safety on the 1911. The grip safety on the 1911 is just as effective as the trigger shoe safety on the Glock. It's there solely as a drop safety, not as a safety when drawing.

With my Glock, it's a 6 1/2 lb trigger pull, and being a former revolver guy that's heavy enough for me. If it did bother me, Glock has replacement trigger springs to give the Glock up to a 12 lb trigger pull, the same as a S&W double action revolver.

I've rarely seen S&W double action revolvers with safeties.

I don’t advise cocked/locked either for 1911. They were NOT designed for CC.

WHY Does everybody try to use something for something other than it was designed for?

Glocks and 1911’s were NOT designed for CC. FACT.

Revolvers are only safer because of the heavy trigger pulls.

By far, the most AD i have heard about have been with Glocks.
