If you leave your finger on the trigger while pushing the gun into the holster, the holster will shove your finger back into the trigger.

Your finger should not be on the trigger unless you have something in your sights that you want to destroy.

"Those Glocks are just really tricky."

Yes indeedy:
When you pull the trigger, they SHOOT!

No disagreement here. Accidents happen when people become too familiar and inattentive. The light trigger pull on the Glock makes that inattention more likely to cause an unintended discharge.

"Yep. Definitely a man's gun; not for the squeamish or fumble-fingered..."

I was just having a little fun with the TUG crowd...Glocks are fine weapons, I just can't resist an occasional zinger at the ugliest gun on earth.
