I carry my glock without a holster but the chamber is empty, to dangerous IMO to do it that way with a loaded chamber.

Would you guys feel it was safe to carry a Glock chambered if I installed something like a Safe T Block? Those are easily removed right? I can understand wanting other forum members to be safe, but I have to say it seems some of you would realy prefer I shoot myself to prove yourselves right. Sheesh!

I'm sure I speak for everyone by saying that nobody wants you or anyone else to come to harm.

As for Safe T Blocks, I have observed two seperate shooters, despite assurances as to their level of familiarity, forget to clear their blocks in training.
But that is a different type of safety issue.

Another problem with not using a pocket holster is that the gun can rotate in your pocket, so that the grip is down and the muzzle is up. Aside from the thought of the muzzle now pointing toward your vitals, this can really slow down your draw, if you have to fumble with the gun in your pocket.
I use the very inexpensive Uncle Mike's pocket holster. It adds very little to bulk (MUCH less than a wallet) but it stabilizes and protects my pistol nicely.

As I told a member on THR last night... I don't make the rules regarding pocket carrying Glocks but be sure to post some pics of the AD or in this case NEGLIGENT Discharge when you do shoot yourself or something else. Being Stupid on purpose takes the "accidental" part right out of the equation!

And BTW, the P32 is the ONLY thing in the pocket it resides in. It will STILL always be in a holster. If it's truly not needed, at least I will be erring on the side of caution, and not losing anything in draw.

I do believe this one has run its course, and can go nowhere useful from here.
