i really just don't get carrying a chambered round on a glock. the lack of a positive safety would make me very nervous.

Ultimately the user is the safety. I carry a chambered round in my Glock and I never get nervous about it. The weapon will not fire unless I pull the trigger. What's to be nervouse about?

i guess too many stories about both cops and other people shooting themselves when holstering.

Absolutely. Glocks are the safest pistols out there, as long as the shooter isn't an idiot. The fact that there isn't a "positive safety" is the beauty. The safety's disengaged by the trigger, and automatically re-engages when the action recycles. There's no switch to forget to engage. It's only not safe if you like to walk around with your finger on the trigger, or are prone to doing the "Barney Fife" draw. No weapon is idiot-proof, after all.
