I had a Glock for a while, and it may've been defective because it never once shot my butt off.

Pics or it didn't happen.

[Guest joeharris]

Congratulation's! Sounds like you finally came to you senses, in a week or 2 you will sell most if not all other handguns, and get some more Glock's!

If you do, don't blame the Glock, LOL...blame your fingers not knowing where they should be...

[Guest mikedwood]

I think you will enjoy it. I have three and for whatever reason they haven't shot me in the butt yet. Glock nothing better than the Kool Aid.

[Guest TNMedved]

My wife says I don't have much of a butt, but it has nothing to do with me gettin it shot off by a Glock. Love my Glocks. Hope you enjoy yours.

[mousegunner]

You may be more comfortable if you carry it with an empty chamber for a month or so, until you get used to it.

[Will]

Great choice,may be the only gun still made by 2015 as no need for any others.

Most important with a Glock get the best quality holster you can find.

[Guest nj.piney]

get a horizontal shoulder holster , that way only the people behind you have to worry .

Yes, I laughed out loud.

[Guest Ralph G. Briscoe]

Just got my first Glock recently too. Always a big skeptic on the safety issue, used to having a safety on my 1911's, but having spent a couple of months with it it's not so scary. I would be reluctant to carry in loose in a coat pocket as I sometimes do with the 1911 for fear of accidentally grabbing it by the trigger. With a holster I'm not worried. There's also a cheap plastic device called "Glock block" which fits behind the trigger if you're really concerned. Then you could look for some army surplus butt armor....Good luck.

[RoDan]

I pocket carry my glock, so my ass doesn't have to worry, something else does... Needless to say, it is still there!

[Shima]

Congrats on the glock and welcome to the darkside. Come on in. The water's fine.

[Guest 70below]

I say carry it fully loaded all the time.....no need for Israeli Carry. That first month or so, you'll be a little wary, but I think safe practices result from knowing your a** is at stake. Those good habits will carry on after you've gotten used to the gun too.

Congrats......enjoy the perfection! (as a side note.....for all those that doubt Glocks "perfection", they never said that its the perfect gun.....they just said its GLOCK perfection.....apparently the glock won't get any better :-D )

[GLOCKMEISTER]

welcome to the dark side...

[fizik]

I carried a G21 for quite some time with no problem. and it's a great range gun. havefun.

[wadejjet]

I'm wearing my G26 in my Supertuck as I type and I never even think about the safety (or lack there of) issue anymore. Just a little common sense safety practices and you'll fall in love it with i'm sure...congrats.

Congrats on your new Glock. I haven't shot my ass yet since I bought mine but I did make a couple of important new Glock rules when I bought it.

1. Never catch a dropped Glock.

2. Don't drop your Glock.

I've carried so long now it's ingrained, or habit for me naturally to always keep my finger out of the trigger guard and know where the muzzle is pointing and I watch it going into the holster. My favorite carry is a belt holster with a cover shirt and I'm aware where my shirt tail is when I holster it. I always tell people if they get a HCP then carry as often as allowed by law, you will learn saftey habits that will become second nature more than someone that will occasionally carry.

[Guest abailey362]

i'm not actually worried about carrying it, worn it out a few times already. just like anything else safety is key. thanks for all the support though. if i'm ever depressed i know where to come.

[kwe45919]

A Glock?? Are you ??? Can you handle the the pressure of carrying "The Black Pistol"??

Glocks are like a can of Pringles, you can't stop after just one.

Proud owner of a G19 and a G26.

[Guest Micromancer]

Here is the proper way to carry a G23. Slide locked back, slingshot during draw.

placing the weapon in the carry position

[Guest Moody]

You got me on this one - I have now embarrassed myself at the office.

Congrats on your purchase - have fun (and don't injure yourself).

You're kidding, right? Lots of folks carry Glocks every day, and this is the first time I've ever even heard of that method. Most people just use a holster.

[Chucktshoes]

With their propensity for shooting people in the butt, you sure you want to point it there???????
