The Glock 19 is one of the guns I've been considering for a CCW, But I'm a little bit concerned about some of the safety issues with this gun. My main concern is with something getting caught in the trigger guard like a shirt tail, jacket zipper or part of the holster and pulling on the trigger while re-holstering for example.

Now obviously your first safety is between your ears, and I know where my fingers are, but I'm a little bit worried about discharges that could happen while my finger is not on the trigger of the gun I'm carrying.

Does the little trigger thingy do anything to help prevent that kind of thing? or is there a part of the safety system I'm not taking into account?
