This was the second time he did this.  First time was 15 years earlier, and into his hand.

Reading the comments are always interesting and the comments to this link/share is definitely that.  One guy mentioned a Russian holster that is designed to rack the slide and chamber a round upon being drawn.  Interesting. . .  ???

I heard that all semi-auto handguns are Glocks...

I always carry my Glock 19 with one in the chamber and feel completely comfortable doing so.  No one ever won a gun fight reholstering quickly so take your time and watch what you are doing.  Seems simple enough to me.  A loaded gun in a holster that completely covers the trigger is safe.

The self racking holster requires you to push down through the holster instead of the normal drawing up.  I would feel safer using a normal holster with chambered round.

If Glock's were that dangerous in a holster, a million Cops would have been told to carry without a round chambered.  IDPA and all the other competition and training organizations would definitely require the gun not be charged before drawing, but we know you are supposed to chamber a round and holster the weapon before starting a stage.

There are smart clothing choices for CCW, and less-smart choices.  Choose wisely, and this probably won't happen to you.

Never heard of that before and what you described of it sounds pretty sketch.  You'd have to be able to force the grip/frame down pretty far to chamber a round and I'd be wary of short stroking it and not chambering a round. 

I'm with you, if you're gonna carry, carry with a round chambered.  If one is not comfortable with that, train and get comfortable.
