I had 'em in .40 and 10mm until concerns about "the inevitable Glock accidental discharge" one of the posters here mentions, at which point I was going to throw them all out of my boat.

Then I realized that kind of "accidental discharge" usually happens only to those old enough or careless enough to experience all kinds of accidental discharges...at which point I sold my boat, and bought more Glocks.

I've used a number of different shapes and sizes for daily carry, but the bigger Glocks go with me, in a chest holster, when I head into the hills, where you might encounter two- and four-legged predators.

Dig the weight, feel, reliability, accuracy.

“...the inevitable Glock accidental discharge...”

I’ve never had that happen, actually.

That Glock “accidental discharge” problem is easily cured by the operator learning to keep his/her booger hook off the bang button until pointed in at an adversary in need of being shot...

The extremely rare occasion where the firearm is defective aside, having or not ever having an AD (more correctly referred to as a negligent discharge) is entirely up to the user...

Glocks (and others of type like XDs for example) are no more “dangerous” to carry and use than 1911s or others with manual safeties...We all need to learn our weapon of choice’s manual of arms, and train seriously...

The excuse so often heard that “it just went off” invariably involved lack of trigger discipline, and is CYA of the highest order and lame as can be...
