I tried a clip draw and I was constantly worrying about it because the trigger guard area isn't enclosed. Prolly a remote chance but it made me nervous anyway.Ring wrote:in the car, a shoulder holster.. carrying, sometimes a fobus paddle, or my back pocket or mexican with this

Careful......any criticism of glock on this forum will earn you the disapproval of certain individuals.Ring wrote:becasue of ohios stupid open car carry law where you have to constantly pull the gun in and out anyway, i dont cary 1 in the chamber on my glock, i dont trust it..
i do on my hk usp and p7, those i fully trust
I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't trust a glock.
At the risk of rebuke, I will offer an opinion.
Glocks were designed as duty weapons primarily. They are perfect for holstered carry by law enforcement because they are kept holstered except for practice and maintenance.
Concealed carry is different in that the firearm is handled much more, even without the car provisions the gun would still be handled much more frequently than a duty weapon.
It makes sense, therefore, that a firearm for CC should have more safety FEATURES.
Well, I guess I'll hunker down now and wait for the fur to start flying.

It took me almost a year to get comfortable with striker fired pistols. The idea of carrying 'cocked and locked' is not the way I was taught to handle a firearm. If you think about it, though, it's no different than carrying a double action revolver, except that the trigger pull may be stiffer.Ring wrote:i still have the stock 5# trigger, but did a trigger job to it, so its 100% smoother..
i only dont trust it, because it would be to easy to snag it pulling it in and out all the time, that dont bother me on my other guns
I did a lot of reading on striker fired pistols. Virtually all have a variation of a firing pin block. Some also have a mechanism that only fully compresses the firing pin spring as the trigger is pulled.

I have one of these also & love it... haven't the cajones to use it for "plain sight" yet.weakhand luke wrote:I love my Alessi ankle holster. Very comfortable and easy to adjust to plain view in the car.
Let us know if you ever the get the opinion of law enforcement - sure would like to use it for OSP car carry.

I carry two Sig P229's in two Galco concealable OWB holsters. The cover garment gets tucked behind the grips in a vehicle to meet plain sight requirements. If at all possible the vehicle requirements should be met by adjusting the cover garment, not by handling the firearm. At a training seminar this weekend, I saw plenty of IWB holsters that would easily allow the cover garment to be adjusted rather than the pistol to be unholstered.Ring wrote:becasue of ohios stupid open car carry law where you have to constantly pull the gun in and out anyway, i dont cary 1 in the chamber on my glock, i dont trust it..

99% of the time I carry in some sort of paddle holster because it is the easiest way to comply with the vehicle open carry part of the law. I have paddles from Desantis, Fobus, G-Code, Gould and Goodrich and Safariland. All work well.
If ever the vehicle part of the law is changed to allow concealed in vehicles I will no doubt retire the paddles because they would not be my first choice if not for the law as it is at present.
Pancake holsters suit me better for both comfort and concealability.
