Funny thing is......that's not the 1st time a Glock has shot it's owner.....

 

The only time I have a glock for self-defense, is when I go A T V ridingI have a GLOCK 19 in the trunk of my A T V, if my A T V sink in a mud hole & muddy water gets in aww it only a glock, it it gets scratched with all the tools & steel tow cable, it's only a glock, it has no collector value, it won't rust, & since it doesn't have a frame mounted safety, I don't keep a bullet in the chamber

 

So because someone was using worn out/broken equipment and not paying attention to what he was doing... Its the guns fault? He even admits its his fault for using worn equipment and that he had to use caution when holstering it because it was so worn. So not the guns fault, the owners... like every othe ND.


EDIT: And after reading the story its does not make sence to me... He rotated left to buckle his seat belt then back right... While doing this with my gun (un loaded) it causes the end of teh barrel to push into the seat, pushing the gun OUT of the holster, not forward to pull the trigger like needed. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, I'm gonna keep trying...

EDIT 2: Maybe his "gut" pushed down on the back of the gun when he turned back causing it to hang on the worn holster.

 

It wouldn't have happen with a 1911

 

I wont argure that.... but.... it wouldn't have happened if the owner had used common sence... The #1 saftey in all guns...

 

Bottom line is I see no gun failure, just a holster/user failure.

 

Martin, bring your 1911... I'll bring my Glock...

 

I see a gun, that will fire if the leather holster gives a little If you carry a GLOCK, then don't have a round in the chamber, cause it's not a 1911

 

Make sure you don't get shot by your glock

 

I will, thanks for the words of wisdom buddy!
