Glocks are fine.
It’s always operator error.
The best safety device known to man is the one between your ears.

I prefer Sig DA/SA, I also don't front carry.

Human error is NOT an accidental discharge.
It went off when he pulled the trigger, just like it was supposed to.

THANK YOU! and see #32 for my rant on the subject.
Negligent discharge, ND, is the term that should be used.

I like the XD for that reason as well. I also routinely do not keep one in the chamber, but I never carry in my waistband either! And I am always careful where I grab the gun!

You pull the trigger — they go off. Just like they’re supposed to.

I would never carry my Glock upholstered. I would never carry a Glock! 1911s doing it right for 100 years. Another good one is Mr. Browning's 9mm Hi-Power loaded with Pow'R Ball will ruin your whole day but not blow off your cherished parts.

Thats why I bought a 40 cal. H&K. It has a safety which a glock and many other handguns dont.
My S&W doesn’t have an external safety. However, unlike the story’s protagonist, I use common sense when I carry.

Remember West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur? Tupac became Onepac when he accidentally shot himself in the groin while sticking a handgun in the waistband of his pants. Onepac became Nopac in Las Vegas on 7 September 1996; he was shot four times, supposedly by hit men hired by East Coast rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (Chris Wallace). B.I.G. was killed in a Los Angeles drive-by shooting on 9 March 1997 by unknown assassins.

Personally, I would not carry a Glock w/ a round in the chamber unless it had a New York trigger. aka approx 10 lb pull. I've carried one for about 15 years without a Negligent Discharge. The first major rule about Glocks is that you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS carry one ONLY in a hard holster, so that there's no way the trigger can be touched before you deliberately withdraw it from the holster. The second rule is to carry it on your hip, so that if Mr Murphy visits you, the negligent discharge only grazes your buttocks or leg, rather than performing an informal sex change operation.
This guy violated both rules.

I carry a KelTec P11.
It has no safety. The long 8 lb. trigger pull is the safety (other than the one between your ears).
I carry with a round chambered at all times. Like a previous poster said, you should carry them in a holster.

Never, ever carry a glock-type firearm in your pants waist band.Of ANY kind. To relegate this statement to Glocks is naive, foolish and shows a lack of firearm knowledge.
