Every time my friend. It only takes a minute. Just a visual inspection. Sides, top, bottom, trigger guard, muzzle & crown. I also look at the last & next chambered round, before I chamber EVERY time. To make certain there is no discernible
set-back.
My patience is something. I warn a person looking to test my resolve.
You would have had an embolism hanging around with me.
I have tossed my gun back in my holster thousands of times.
Pointing my gun at a suspect who runs. Throw the gun in the holster. He stops, draw gun. Runs. Jumps a fence. Back in the holster.
Holding a suspect at gunpoint. He decides to fight. Throw gun in the holster.
Current holsters are actually designed to retain the gun with no action by the user. ALS. SLS. The Blackhawk. Just drop it in.
As far as off switches, I carried a 1911 for 20 years. Off switches are not something you should fear.
I prefer a gun with an off switch for that very reason. The world is not perfect. A Glocks trigger does not know the difference between your finger. A stick or a drawstring.
On the bright side. A magnet won’t stick to the plastic trigger on a Glock.
