Sorry this guy got lampooned as a modern day Barney Fife last time. Hope he recovers quickly.

Don't they use the safety?

As one wit said... Having the safety on the trigger is like having a brake on top of the accelerator.

This is my major complaint about Glocks. No positive safety, and the trigger pull is NOT like a DA revolver, it's exactly like a SA semi-auto, which it is.

Simple answer.

If you cannot understand that a Glock is a "Big Boy" gun have your wife carry it. Then go get yourself a gun with so many safeties that it won't fire unless the Governor is there with a special key.

I am a "Big Boy".

I don't need the Governor or a safety. I have been trained and have trained others.

Glocks are for serious grown-ups. Other than that need not apply.

If you so desperately need a safety then maybe you don't need a handgun.

The deputy was wearing a jacket with drawstrings and toggles to adjust the waistband. It is believed that one of the plastic toggles worked its way into the gun holster and became entangled in the trigger guard.

Pure BS. No retention holster or any holster that I know of except maybe an Uncle Mike has room for a "toggle" to work its way into it.

A toggles main driving force is gravity. A toggle doesn't work its way anywhere.

Sounds like the holster design didn't adequately protect the trigger against this type of occurrence.

Same old poop all over again. If you don't pay attention, you will get bit.

The cop either:

A. Holstered his weapon with the coat caught in between the holster and weapon, thus his error, or:

B. Holstered his weapon with his finger on the trigger, again, his error.

No jacket zipper or "toggle" can work it's way into a quality holster, or for that matter, a cheap holster that covers the trigger.

And before Glocks were king of the hill for police weapons, the leader of the bunch for ND's was the 1911. I've seen several holes in a gunshop from cops unholstering their 1911's. Nothing new there.

I state again, if you don't pay attention, you will get bit.

Another example of someone coming down with "glock leg"...
