one has to squeeze fairly hard to override the glock trigger feature (not safety) to fire

guessing she was pulling hard with some underlying anger at the time, imho

Or, at an unnatural angle for holster removal? That could make it difficult to draw.

Retired LEO here who carried a Glock 17 as a duty weapon. They require 14 pounds of pressure on the trigger to fire the chambered round. She very likely put her finger inside the trigger guard (muscle memory?) when she grabbed the sidearm and yanked on it to unholster it. Gobsmackingly stupid of her.

About 5.5 lbs., though it could be less if the owner changed the connector.
