Glock. If a round is chambered, it’s cocked. There is no external safety other than the so called, trigger safety. Women have had these things go off while groping around in their purse. PS, just for kicks, I had a G19.

Glocks are miserable guns for the uninitiated. Only when people learn, truly learn, the value and importance of a proper, high-quality holster that is made specifically for THAT gun should they buy one of these.

But if I had a dime for every Glock I see in an Uncle Mikes nylon universal holster I would buy an HK.

I like SA/DA firearms, pretty exclusively. I holster them with the safety on, my thumb on the hammer.. focused like a laser beam on the trigger and any interference.

But my striker fires I handle like they are radioactive during holstering, without visual confirmation and care for the trigger. I saw the aftermath of a man who holstered one in a nylon holster - worn out and folded over right where the trigger is. He just put it in and drilled an 8 inch long, smoking cavern in his leg. It was gross as hell. And this guy was a multi-decades carrier.

I do not like ‘striker’ handguns; never owned one staying with Sig-Sauer.

When a round is chambered in a Glock, is the trigger pull more like a
cocked single action or a double action handgun?
