BTW, I love my Glocks, but I never ever recommend Glock to others. If you need to ask which gun to get, you have no business holding a Glock.
Interesting that the article doesn't blame the gun as is usually the case.

If you shoot avocados with your Glock you end up with Glockamole

Agree. Have 3 and would not recommend them to noobs looking for a first gun.
I never recommend anything but a revolver (or single shot) for new shooters.
I’ve been shooting for 40 years and I don’t even trust myself with a semi-auto. I don’t shoot enough times (probably that’s the problem) to be proficient and feel safe with it.
Indeed and why I eschew strikers usually

Silly. Any striker fired pistol sans external safety could have this potential.
However, this is why I don’t care for AIWB.
More to the point, unholstering should only happen in earnest and reholstering should never be hurried.
Glock is negligent in their faulty labeling. A correct holster is absolutely critical to bring a Glock handgun up to the level of safety of other handguns and the holster needs to be considered part of the firearm itself. One would never cock a revolver and put it in their holster (or waistband gangsta style) yet that's exactly what they do every time after they chamber the first round in a Glock.
If they’re too stupid to own a Glock, they’re too stupid to own a gun. I have a bunch of firearms. Every one of them demand the user activate his brain .. first. Any one of them will kill said user dead if he doesn’t.
We have a lot of first-time gun buyers who want a Glock and I ALWAYS warn them strongly to carry it in a holster. I will try to steer them to a revolver if they don’t plan on practicing with it enough to become proficient.
