I read a story on GunZone about an LEO who had an AD which was quite inadvertent and reminded of what you say about this one. He had on one of those nylon wind breakers with the tie strings in the bottom, and at the end of the string was a little plastic tightener. The tightener became lodged inside the trigger guard on his Glock and I think the AD occurred when he took the jacket off.

When I first went into the service Uncle sugar issued a Mod 15 SW revolver. SP’s controllers and anyone else not allowed a 1911A1 wore an issue jordan style holster . As they sat down in chairs with arms on em the arm would un-snap the holster the first time. The next time they sat down the arm of the evil chairs would catch the hammer spur just enough to draw it back but not cock it. As the hammer cleared the arm on the chair it dropped just enough to fire !

Lots of pucker factor boomage till that line of “office chairs” was tossed to DRMO for salvage sales !!!

Lots of factors. Sad to say that carrying a gun is not unlike driving a car, your bound to get a dent in that perfect shine at times. Trick is not let it be a fatal accident. The the age old rule of never point it at anything ya do not want too destroy !.....the gun not the car !

Stay safe Ya’ll !!!

The dumbest idea going is “Mexican carry” with a Glock. They are great guns for what they are, but the gotta live in a holster!!!
