For concealed carry, you can’t control your draw, like you can in a outside holster.
A glock was made for police officers/ military with outside carry.
It works great as such. For concealed, if you are stupid enough to carry a gun with no effective safety, or one what may discharge when dropped, then you won’t be passing many of your genes on.
You can keep your stupid “glock can shoot underwater” because that’s about as useful as the other BS marketing glock does. The funniest one was the “advanced polymer gun” crap. Frankly i don’t care if the non-shooting parts are wooden furniture, or polymer, or metal. If metal, the only problem is weight. As for concealed carry, I try to stay < 20 ounces loaded. I carry frequently. 9mm, and a very accurate make. I also carry a spare mag, and a one had assist open knife.
Glock is not evil — just the wrong tool for concealed carry. This is one reason more and more compact subautos are coming with (1) manual safety and (2) drop safe protection...
Google pocket auto comparision, and there is a very good comparision of every major carry pistol (but not the surplus stuff like markov)
(1)My finger. Like I said before don't touch the trigger it will not go bang.
I carry concealed most of the time, as does my wife. Both of us have them holstered. (neither of us are stupid)
(2)Drop safety.

I don't give a rats ass if it shoots underwater. Frankly the only reason I have a Glock is being retired Military I got a really good deal on it.
I practice on my range a draw from carry. I can draw (and chamber if needed) quite effectively every time.
I would not recommend one for a novice shooter, but then again I would not advise a new shooter to carry concealed either.
Too say all negligent discharges are from Glocks, is false. To say all concealed Glock owners are stupid is also false.
