He used to carry that way but put a round through his leg while holstering his weapon once. Luckily it didn't hit any bone, cartilage, or major blood vessels.
This is what's called Glock leg. It can be avoided by not carrying a Glock, or any other weapon without a manual safety. It may also be avoided by really paying attention when holstering.
Given the choice of not carrying with one in the chamber, or not carrying a Glock or similar clone. I think the carrying a safer gun might be advised.
Whoop there it is. I think I'll call it Gaston's Law. (The time it takes to mention "glock leg" in any discussion about shooting yourself in the leg whether it was a glock or not or without knowing what kind of handgun it was.)
Whether you like it or not, there is a reason for the stereo typical phase " Glock leg".
