Glock manual "CAUTIONS" against civilians carrying w/ one in chamber...

Lawsuits, period.

Though the "DON'T PUT A LOADED GUN IN THIS CASE" text ought to be stamped in glowing neon red letters for all the people that have done it.

Colts manuals of late sound like handling a loaded firearm (particularly an AR-15 varient) is like walking around with a laser guided radioactive ebola-infected poo flinging monkey on your shoulder, and he just had the 7 alarm burrito at the local roach coach.

My snowblower has a warning not to use it on the roof, Dodge vipers have a warning on the sunvisor that the safest seat for children is the back seat.

Warning: The state of California has proven to cause an increased chance of contracting cancer and stupidity.
 
Quote: "You mean people actually read the manuals that come with firearms?"

They don't.
Which is why some guns come with the warnings actually engraved on the frame.

I'll start a new thread to see how common this silly practice is.
 
wait why is putting a loaded gun in the case so dangerous (assuming it's just by your bed not to haul it around)???
 
Just like the carry manual for my Kimber says to use only "factory loaded, 230 gr jacketed ammunition". Like Bianchi and Galco won't say that their 1911 holsters were designed to put the thumb break between a cocked hammer and the pistol, they say that their holsters were designed to snap behind a 'down' hammer, even if they clearly were intended for condition 1. It's a butt cover.

The Glock factory box had a peg in it that fit inside the trigger guard, in front of the trigger, to hold the gun in place. It was only meant to be used with the gun unloaded and the trigger to the rear ("uncocked"). If the gun was loaded, the trigger was in its forward position. If forced into place, the peg could press the trigger and fire the gun. This has since been redesigned. But most manufacturers do not recommend storing the gun loaded in the box.
 
The Glock firing system is one of the very reason I will never buy one...maybe it is safe......I just don't trust it...it doesn't "feel" right..

If it is so "safe" why al the Glock holsters that I have seen are the rigid ones??

Somewhat some fear that a soft holster may end up touching the trigger....

I really do not see any advantage over a regular DA/SA setup with an external hammer...so far the absolute safest...it is undisputable...

I just dont't get it why people have any problem whatsoever with that and choose something else....
 
How does this affect the "chambered/not chambered" debate? Why do they say this if the Glocks are "designed" to be carried this way?

If they don't take responsibility if you're harmed because you CAN'T chamber a loaded round when attacked, it has NO effect.

You would if most DA/SA triggers had too long of a reach for you.

Of course I find most DA/SA triggers not just too long of reach, but also of dreadful quality. It takes a box of Q-tips and some Flitz to get an excellent Glock trigger.
 
I have seen plenty of glock soft holsters... Most of the "Glock 19 Holsters" or whatever are called that just because they are molded to fit it... not because a glock wont fit into any of the generic soft holsters...
 
I bought my G19 used from a guy who had installed a button on the trigger that locks it if pushed one way or the other depending how it's installed.

Since then I ran across a guy peddling the buttons as a kit and he swore by them. He had a G26 with a trigger that couldn't have been more than 2 lb. letoff with a clean break almost like a 1911. I was impressed with that trigger and he was saying that the only way he'll carry a Glock with a trigger like that is if it had his button. He offered to do my trigger, but I took his card.

I got a good deal and at first I thought that the button couldn't hurt and might, just might, prevent an accident.

But now I've got no use for the silly thing. I keep meaning to buy a new trigger and get rid of it but as long as it's pushed to the firing position it doesn't effect anything. It just looks dumb.
 
They don't want to assume liability for some dumb a$$ shooting himself because he didn't keep his booger hook off the bang stick. -Dan-O


priceless remark. My hat off to you good sir.
 
Alot of people dont know the truth about Glocks and how they werent allowed into the country. And also how the Owner was murdered!
 
.... because it was cheaper to print a warning in the manual than produce a weapon that was actually safe to carry with a chambered round.

:D
 
I love how he continues trying to teach like nothing happened, even though he just shot himself

I love the quote right before he shoots himself. "I am the only one in this room professional enough to handle this gun"...BAM

The brilliant man then sued the government for leaking the tape. Don't know how it turned out.
 
Police should carry empty They shoot them selves more often than civilians . Thats a better warning. Hear a lot more about police shootings themselves than civ.
