Did he point the muzzle away, get up and walk around his office/duty area and just happened to be in front of it when it went off?  Did go off when set down or after?  Was there a delay?  Did he set it down and drop it 3 inches and it bounced to point at him?

Don't know yet.

I wonder if the AF is like many organizations that buy chairs made for people in slacks and who aren't an extra 5-7 inches wide with guns/holsters/radios/etc, thus making it a pain for duty guys to wear gear belts.

I used to rotate my Safariland drop holster from the side of my leg to the front of my leg(basically in my lap) if I needed to sit in such a chair.

Then you should never carry a loaded Glock in a holster.  Ever.


It wasn't that long ago that gun forums were filled with "Glock leg" and "Glock grenade" comments.

There was a good period were people were convinced Glocks were horribly unsafe because they didn't have safeties. Fighting that was the whole reason Glock's "Safe Action" marketing exists.

Now, no one cares because we've learned how to safely handle striker fired guns and the collective attention has moved on.

This is the dumbest fucking comparison to the Sig debacle. The Glocks were firing into people's legs because people had horrible trigger habits from shooting heavy DA and DAO pistols. Lots of people were taught by idiots that were telling people to start staging the trigger as soon as the gun started to come out of the holster. Nobody is going to learn their way out of not getting shot in the leg by a P320 that decides to go off in the holster by itself.  Be honest, are you at least middle management at Sig USA?



"Glock Leg" is real.
Glock leg was end user error.

320 deballing appears to be, as far as I can tell, an engineering and manufacturing error.

They are not the same category of thing.

Nope

Because it doesnt happen.

Plunger fired pistols are inherently more dangerous especially if they dont have a plunger that is locked by the safety.

IMHO the best choice for a civilian side arm is a .357 revolver like the Model 60 or 640. Lady Smith is nice for the girlies. 125 grain 1450 fps approaches 600 ft/lbs with a 4 inch barrel.

This forum absolutely hates a good gun if it comes at cheap price so I'm gonna get roasted but Sig should have further developed the SigPro line for mil contracts. Navy already had a small contract, the Gendarmerie issued them for a long time (but I see Glocks on some now), and a number of PD's ran them without issue. And of course, I don't recall a single case of one having a UD. Myself and a former business partner both owned the the early SP2340 with Swiss frames, both of us frmr LE, and we shot pretty much weekly with them. The SigPro is objectively a good gun with IMHO a better DA and SA trigger than a P229, and IIRC they already made a model with manual safety.

Part of what @Veccio said was that a loaded firearm is still a loaded firearm while in a holster if my understanding is correct. That is, basically, saying pay attention to the four rules of firearm safety and specifically rules 1 (treat every gun as loaded) and 2 (always keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction) whether or not it is holstered. Though I was taught that the state of the safety (on or off) or presence (or lack) of a safety does not fundamentally change the fact that a firearm is a lethal weapon and should always be pointed in a safe direction.

This has nothing to do with the model of firearm or type of action.

No, saying a holstered firearm is presumed safe is the way it's been for 150 years, your attempts to alter reality notwithstanding.
A loaded firearm with safety off is not and should not be considered safe regardless of if it's in a holster.

The gun should not go off by itself, yes we know that. We also know that a firearm with a round in the chamber and safety off should not be pointed at anyone, regardless of if it's in a holster or not. Maybe lower the narcissism a bit and actually think about what you are arguing.



So all the DAO, DA/SA, and Striker fired pistols around the world are unsafe to handle in a holster now? That's just stupid.

I have carried on duty and off duty for 42 years now. Revolvers and every type of semi-auto made. I know exactly what he is saying and a holstered, loaded firearm is not the same as one in your hand, in a fireing position. The holster prevents access to trigger or operating parts. Holstered firearms get pointed at people everyday all over the world without issue.

People safely carry firearms in shoulder holsters, hip holsters, pocket holsters, fanny packs, purses, and chest holsters for a reason. The pistol should not fire on its own while holstered.
Treating a holstered firearm like an unholstered firearm is impractical and shows your lack of training.

I am sitting here right now with my Glock 23 on my hip and I can wave my hand under the holster without any worry. There's no external safety on it, other than the trigger dingus and it will not fire. I can even take my holtered gun off the belt and have to worry about it shooting me in the leg.

I couldn't say that if it was a Sig P320.

The problem with those holsters is the rotary adjustment portion of the holster. It is a pivot point and allows the barrel to point at the leg by moving in the (x) direction toward the leg and foot. If the holster was flat against the leg or hip the pistol could not rotate and point at the leg or foot. A good tight leather holster (IWB or OWB) will minimize this. The same for a good pocket holster unless you are a big fat-ass with thighs as wide as a home use propane tank.

Bro you're like the P320 realwar right now


When I started the index thread, I had no idea:

1) it wouldn't have ended yet;

2) how many YouTube channels would feel obligated to make a 320 video;

3) that we'd be talking about a third death.

Fuck.



Unintentional low hanging fruit.

Spins off a debate I had with someone earlier who claimed hammer-fired guns are safer than striker fired guns, and then I shared with him the video of the guy who just shot himself in the leg at a USPSA match with a hammer fired gun.  My assertion is that the gun is as safe as the user. (P320 doesn't count)

You know you have no obligation to repost rando YouTube channels with guys sitting in their living rooms saying the same things, right?

See my post above.  

I wasn't defending the 320, but it did sound like I was.  Clarified.

I have carried on duty and off duty for 42 years now. Revolvers and every type of semi-auto made. I know exactly what he is saying and a holstered, loaded firearm is not the same as one in your hand, in a fireing position. The holster prevents access to trigger or operating parts. Holstered firearms get pointed at people everyday all over the world without issue.

People safely carry firearms in shoulder holsters, hip holsters, pocket holsters, fanny packs, purses, and chest holsters for a reason. The pistol should not fire on its own while holstered.
Treating a holstered firearm like an unholstered firearm is impractical and shows your lack of training.

I am sitting here right now with my Glock 23 on my hip and I can wave my hand under the holster without any worry. There's no external safety on it, other than the trigger dingus and it will not fire. I can even take my holtered gun off the belt and have to worry about it shooting me in the leg.

I couldn't say that if it was a Sig P320.

No, saying a holstered firearm is presumed safe is the way it's been for 150 years, your attempts to alter reality notwithstanding.
A loaded firearm with safety off is not and should not be considered safe regardless of if it's in a holster.

The gun should not go off by itself, yes we know that. We also know that a firearm with a round in the chamber and safety off should not be pointed at anyone, regardless of if it's in a holster or not. Maybe lower the narcissism a bit and actually think about what you are arguing.



So all the DAO, DA/SA, and Striker fired pistols around the world are unsafe to handle in a holster now? That's just stupid.

Part of what @Veccio said was that a loaded firearm is still a loaded firearm while in a holster if my understanding is correct. That is, basically, saying pay attention to the four rules of firearm safety and specifically rules 1 (treat every gun as loaded) and 2 (always keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction) whether or not it is holstered. Though I was taught that the state of the safety (on or off) or presence (or lack) of a safety does not fundamentally change the fact that a firearm is a lethal weapon and should always be pointed in a safe direction.

This has nothing to do with the model of firearm or type of action.

Aren't we talking about that if someone is holding or manipulating a handgun in their hand (even if it is in a holster)? If someone is holding or manipulating a handgun in their hand(s) (whether or not it is in a holster), I was taught that the four rules of firearm safety state that the gun must be pointed in a safe direction and those rules should be followed.

I agree with you in principle.  As long as a gun is mechanically reliable, it's the skill and discipline of the person carrying it that makes the difference.  That's why I always laugh when I see people saying "you shouldn't carry appendix because it's pointing at your dick!"  Well, you shouldn't be carrying a mechanically unreliable weapon appendix, for sure...but you shouldn't be carrying an unreliable weapon at all.  If the gun doesn't go off by itself, then the entire safety of your dick is, if you'll pardon the turn of phrase, in your hands.

This is the dumbest fucking comparison to the Sig debacle. The Glocks were firing into people's legs because people had horrible trigger habits from shooting heavy DA and DAO pistols. Lots of people were taught by idiots that were telling people to start staging the trigger as soon as the gun started to come out of the holster. Nobody is going to learn their way out of not getting shot in the leg by a P320 that decides to go off in the holster by itself.  Be honest, are you at least middle management at Sig USA?

Then you should never carry a loaded Glock in a holster.  Ever.


It wasn't that long ago that gun forums were filled with "Glock leg" and "Glock grenade" comments.

There was a good period were people were convinced Glocks were horribly unsafe because they didn't have safeties. Fighting that was the whole reason Glock's "Safe Action" marketing exists.

Now, no one cares because we've learned how to safely handle striker fired guns and the collective attention has moved on.

Remember California LE (LAPD or LASD, can't remember) being trained to "stage" a DA trigger while pointing the firearm at people they are holding at gunpoint? Pepperidge Farms remembers. This came out in a lawsuit over someone being shot "by accident" during an arrest. People should have gone to jail for that insanity.

it was the LASD and it was when they transitioned from Beretta to the SW M&P. Nothing to do with Glock. Apparently staging the trigger was a very common thing with DA guns in that era

I'm not blaming Beretta, S&W, nor Glock for that insanity.
