Joe,

Point well taken, BUT under stress, with the adrenelin FLOWING, folks forget to NOT pull the trigger until the gun is on target. A holster covering the trigger is a good first step to prevent unwanted shooting of self or others.

If you ever are in a situation UNDER STRESS, come back and chat. Glock, or no Glock, PULLING the trigger in a holster happens and it is NOT GOOD! Keep on being safe.

Adam

It depends

I agree with Joe, more training and awareness seem to be very important when shooting targets. A fellow at our gun club was practicing and shot himself in the leg. I recall seeing a video where a DEA agent in front of a classroom of children put a round into his leg. Not sure what stress was involved there, but prior training may have been an issue. All the best...

a neighboring city had a cadet shoot himself two weeks ago at the allentown police academy (easton cadet). It was on the re-holstering of what a friend told me was most likely a G19 according to academy standards. i agree the trigger should be covered in a holster. I too am in need of a new holster for the G26. Be careful
