Glocks 17 holsters and safety
I view the Glock pistol as an unsheathed knife. When you pull a knife or a sword you better pay attention to where your blade is because it will cut you. I am not big fan of manual safeties on handguns because the closer you are to a bad guy the less time you’ll have. On an AR15 it’s whole other story. I am also not a big fan of carrying firearms around with empty chambers. People gotta realize that when bad things happen, you don’t have all the time in the world and giving yourself one more thing to do before you can defend yourself is a bad idea. I recently did an audit of all of the friends and family members that I know that carry firearms and the vast majority of them have never been in a really hostile situation.
I, unfortunately have too much experience in those regards and I completely understand what “stress” is in combat or hostile situations. I never got into the whole CCW thing just for being a cowboy. I’ve seen evil and I know the dark side of what humanity can do and it’s not just about defending our lives, it’s also about defending the innocent. I think there are some good designs out that may be at higher safety level than Glocks, but the Blackhawk holsters that I like the most for Glock firearms is the Serpa. The Level II tactical holsters lock the gun in place, you hear it click and you don’t have to worry about thumb breaks or guns flying out of the holster because there is nothing to retain it.
