The Gadget: an additional safety device for Glock pistols

These are regular guys not self defense gods.

I am and have no groupies.

Ah man, I feel for you bro. You need me to recruit a groupie for you? LOL

You must not be as bad @ss as Southnarc whoever he is.

Boundless just get him a bunch of pencil trolls from the 90s.

He's simple

If you make the flap a little bigger it might fan the shooter with a pleasant breeze during those hot summer gunfights.

LMAO, he is too cranky to have groupies.

He wouldn't be nice to them LOL

Oh stop.. I saw couple post that does in fact prove you have a groupie.. Lol

Yep or a nice warm blast in the winter for the snowball turned gun fights.

2 is 1 and 1 is none. lol

Let's see "I can't remember to keep my finger off the trigger but I will remember to keep my thumb on the gadget" does anyone else see the absurdity here?

Glad you mentioned that. That was my first thought. It is still something you are now adding, that you can forget or fail to do properly. Has anyone ever won a gun fight being the fastest to re-holster?

And just imagine if the obstruction was not fixed and still putting pressure on the trigger. Once you let your thumb off. bAM!

Lol

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why someone would attempt to reholster with their boogerhook still on the trigger.

Maybe a GSW to the leg or abdomen would help enforce proper trigger discipline??

 

[Blaster229]

I think the possibility of some debris obstruction is so remote to impossible to the point that that wouldn't even be the reason to not get one.
It's just not needed and that's the reason to not get one.
Security is in the mind. So if this makes a person "feel" safer that they won't shoot themselves, then let them have it. It is that same person, I believe, who would not do so well in a self defense shoot situation.

Hot smack daddy shooters who endorse this thing are all of the sudden using one because after all these years they finally found a product that will prevent an anomaly they have been worrying about for years? Doubt that.

No. They are worried about that little plastic thingy on their windbreakers getting into the holster, thereby getting into the trigger guard depressing the trigger. Here we go, cut that little thingy off for free.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.


The only time I've had an issue on re-holster, is when I fail to completely sweep my cover garment from the mouth of the holster - get a small section of shirt jammed between the slide/holster.

But then I remembered, I only ccw in America - there's no rush to get back into the holster, slow it down and get it right.

I see the thread tags, so it's given me inspiration.

You've never inspected a service pistol that was carried in a purse, back pack or briefcase have you?

Staples
Paper clips
Tampon string (in the firing pin channel blocking forward travel of the FP)
Pieces of a broken hair clip
Bits of tissue and paper from receipts
Bits of hard candy and cookie crumbs
Wads of lint big enough to choke a cat

I can't imaginge what larger items may find their way into the pistol with that butt flap on the back.

You and I, and nearly everyone here, will take care of our sidearms because we understand the need to do so. The demographic this gadget appeals to does not care. They want another "thing" that absolves them of their responsibility to make sure their holster is clear and their finger is not on the trigger before pushing the pistol into said holster.

First of all, you fail at "service pistol". I didn't know they were targeting police depts.

So, without me explaining my experience.... Well, I won't.
You my friend, are not the answer all, gun experience carry guy.

I fail? Because you disagree with the semantics? Maybe if you read the whole thread you'll see that they DID mention LE...

Unlike you... I never claimed to be "the answer all, gun experience carry guy".

Why must you constantly make these posts into a personal competition?

Apparently, no one knows more about the subject than you...

I'm not talking about what "could happen" with foreign matter inside of the pistols. I'm talking about what DID HAPPEN. What I actually saw. Sorry if my experience did not fit your hypothesis.
