I still love my Glock!! This is just a caution when you carry a Striker Fire or light single action pistol.. Always provide a clear entry into your holster!

The string acts like a finger. Bad traing

not accidental. negligent. he didn't clear his clothing properly as he reholstered.

You can't win points for reholstering quickly.

Being aware of dealing with bulky clothing while reholstering is one skill that is very commonly missing at matches. People still look at me funny when I warn them about it like I would for "something dangerous".

I could see that being an issue most of the time when i shoot a cold weather match that requires a holster I take off my jacket and shoot the stage with a sweatshirt only. 

Complacency kills.

He also presses the muzzle of one pistol up against his palm. Loaded or unloaded bad habit.

I'm surprised that nobody has commented on the fact that he drew his loaded pistol in the middle of a store.  That was his FIRST mistake, completely unnecessary.  Not clearing his clothing was the second mistake.

Unless I misheard, it also said he's shot himself in the hand before so double points off for that bad habit.

Another off duty cop shot himself yesterday in Cincinnati, no idea why he was waving his gun around like that. Dude almost shot his wife.

Looks like he was trying to put it in his jacket pocket.

It's like those people who shoot themselves drawing from a Blackhawk CQC holster. If you're doing it wrong, it's your fault.

My thought exactly.  Should have never removed the loaded gun in the store.  Not necessary.

 

I love how the program charaterized it as an issue with Glock design.  This can happen with vitually and striker fire gun or any gun for that matter, manual safety or not.  Need to make sure the holster is clear...

It's a hole punch, you never point it at anything you don't want a hole in. At least that's what my old man told me the first time he put a gun in my hand.

I've unholstered a loaded pistol at the counter of a sporting goods store.  What's wrong with that?  The owner of the store said "You can unpack here" when i was shopping for a holster. Oh and I cleared the pistol immediately. When business was done a round was rechambered and the pistol reconcealed.

 

If you're a hoople and can't safely handle a firearm maybe a sharp stick is more your speed.
