You Tube - I lost a testicle to an accidental discharge.

The fear we all have came to life. I keep my ccw where this can never happen. In between the butt cheeks

“The Crack Carry”

Pros: Deep Concealment, universal holster, element of suprise

Cons: sitting sucks, stinky gun, reholster burns (could be considered a pro)
 
Man he sure loves to throw the word professional around alot....... bro is never going to pee straight or screw his BF again.
 
Thus they invented the decocker. No pun. My CCW will absolutely be a decocking hammer fire.
I personally prefer a CCW to have a thumb safety, or at least have a heavy double-action trigger. Regardless of whatever safeties that a Glock has, the fact remains that if that 5lb trigger is pulled the gun is going to fire. And it really doesn't take a lot for a 5lb trigger to actuate and fire.

With that said, people CCW Glocks all day and have for decades, and haven't blown their sack off yet. I have a Glock 26 on my permit and plan on continuing to have it on my permit. But I will say if I was limited to only 3 guns like some IA's do, I wouldn't have it on anymore.

Agreed. I’m not against striker fired without manual safety at all but I’ve always been leery of it. Especially with appendix carry. Like you. I want a heavy first trigger pull; nothing less than 7ish lbs or a manual safety. Even with manual safety, I am leery of the massive safeties of 2011 and 1911 variants etc unless it also has the grip safety as well.

Using a more traditional holster position like the FBI canted 4-5 o’clock feels a bit less risky.
 
I didn’t watch because stupid, but what pistol was it?

I also will pocket carry before I shove a pistol down the front on my pants. Strong side 3-4 o’clock.

Like my P2000SK at 4 o clock, perfection
 
Is a military armorer a firearms professional?
Depends really, USMC Quantico Armorer, USA 1st SOFD-D Armorer for sure are firearms professionals as they completely build and modify firearms in house for their Operators and Marksmanship Teams.

A Battalion, Brigade, etc armorer with 1 year in that MOS not so much. You would be signing weapons in/ out, doing inventories, etc. Especially if you did not attend armory school. Sounds like he was TAD to the armory as a helper for a year.
 
Bro spelled "negligent" wrong.

I have a buddy who gives me crap for choosing an EDC with a safety, but... I can sweep the safety off my Max-9 as I draw, and I am less likely to shoot myself in the nuts.
 
Switched from the Hellcat to the P365 almost a year and a half now. I just feel better having that safety when drawing or reholstering. I'm used to 1911/2011's anyway so not a big deal sweepng the safety off. And I don't carry appendix.
