Safety first post re a “cocked Glock”.
A Glock has no safety. To carry hot, with a cartridge in the chamber is asking for trouble - probably for the owner or a loved one. You can easily get a mag for 14 rounds without one in the pipe.
As long as you’re wearing cargo pants take a couple 15 round mags along on the other side. If you need more than that its WWWIII and you should go home and hunker down.
The one time I needed to draw my weapon, I drew, racked a round, had the gun pointed at the ground in less than a second and a half. The bad guy almost fell over stopping in his tracks.
Our range, quite responsibly (IMHO) doesn’t allow “quick draw” practice and no I never practiced in front of a mirror.
Know your weapon, your holster and situational awareness if you’re carrying then if you don’t have two seconds, being armed probably won’t matter.
One of which is dis-engaged by the shooter. All Glocks have three safeties.

Utter garbage.
A Glock is one of the safest pistols made as long as you remember if there is one in the chamber it will go “bang” if you pull the trigger. It will not go “bang” any other way. The manual of arms for a Glock is more akin to that of a double action revolver than other semi- automatics. There are 3 safeties that are sequentially disengaged as you pull the trigger.

By the way, the 65% of US law enforcement agencies that carry Glocks ALL carry with one in the chamber.
