Well Batman carries a bunch of mini explosives and I never read in comics or saw in movies or animated show as a child any of them blowing up in his hands or in his belt. Im sure he could draw a pistol without shooting himself.

Right2Carry, I notice you have mentioned this "glock leg" a few times. Anyone with any knowledge of firearms will know that a glock, or any undamaged pistol, will not discharge while being drawn unless the trigger is squeezed or pulled by something caught in the trigger.

It makes me wonder, have you or someone you know carelessly holstered or unholstered a glock, had a negligent discharge and had the projectile hit you or them in the leg? If so I can see why you use that "glock leg" comment frequently, or is it that you dislike glock pistols so much that you bash them any chance you get?

I've heard the term myself for quite a few years. Had certainly heard it before I bought my first Glock. Asked my CHP instructor about it, and he was the first that I heard qualify that by saying that the whole expression should probably be "stupid people and their Glock leg" because of the majority of the incidents being caused by very poor handling practices. I did know someone who often shot at a range that I most often used...had seen him on the firing line and off it, and I made a point of finding out what days he usually went so I knew what days to avoid. And then one day, getting out of his car to go into the range, ND and he got his own Glock leg (and charged for the ND). Schtoop-ped for sure.

You ARE Clint Eastwood if you are Clint Eastwood and have a California handgun carry permit. I wonder if he does? He was mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Maybe he could have talked the Monterey County Sheriff into giving him one. Inquiring minds want to know.... :???:

I don't thing that is 100% true. I have heard of people in the special operations units where they have more latitude in what they choose occasionally using them.

I have two Beretta pistols, neither of which will discharge while holstering even if the trigger is squeezed or something gets caught in there -- they both have frame safety levers which I disengage only when preparing to shoot.
And I confess, I indeed do not care for Glock pistols for that reason, as well as my opinion that life's too short to shoot ugly guns.
JMHO & YMMV.
