June 09, 2004Don't Holster That Gun!Normally, for safe carry you want to put your pistol in your holster. If you have a Glock and a Fobus, read this USA Today story:

Those who are critical of the Glock because of it having the unconventional trigger safety instead of all the traditional ones would love to have a field day with this. Thing is that most people handle their firearms with enough respect that this really was not a problem. Only 0.0025% of these holsters were involved in an accidental discharge, and only one resulted in an injury, not life threatening. And the evil, unsafe, unregulated industry is dealing with the problem. Point taken, Triticale. But I still want the Colt 1911.

Besides, Glocks are gross and ugly, and I would characterize their trigger feel as not creepy, but SLIMY! Yes, I have shot one, in the same session with several other self-loaders. Posted by: Justthisguy at June 10, 2004 01:32 AMIt's not the safety that bothers me about Glocks; they just don't feel good in my hand.

Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that. By Golly, you're reading an archived post.
