"making it go off" accidentally, or not, proves nothing to you or anyone else...TexasComputerDude wrote:CHL/LEO wrote:Of every instance that I'm personally aware where this has occurred - it's been a Glock. Either a finger has stayed on the trigger or a retaining strap gets inside the trigger guard and when the weapon is pushed into the holster it then discharges. I'm not saying that's the gun this officer was using - just a guess. I'm sure we'll learn soon enough exactly which model it was.what was the make of the gun?
I've got a new glock 30 and comptac infidel holster and I've tried to make it go off on accident and its been darn near impossible.
basically my method of testing was to make sure the gun was empty and cock it and try putting it in the holster in a way that will make it go off.
I tried keeping my finger on the trigger while putting it in and I tried getting my clothing caught up in it and any other way I could think of and it wouldn't go off.
While I like my 1911's better, I feel 100% safe with my glock.
I'm sure everyone is glad though that you "tested" this theory out with your rig unloaded...
