carry a loaded Glock with one in the chamber?
David Hineline:
Sometimes I carry 4 in the chamber.

I carry a Hi-power most days this time of year. It's a single action similar in operation to a 1911. A holster that covers the trigger guard and has a sweat shield molded to the safety is perfectly safe. Even if the safety is knocked off, the trigger guard is covered and nothing bad will happen so long as basic safety rules are followed.
At the range, I have a very nice, and very safe, avenger style holster by Sparky that I would recommend in a heartbeat.

I'm very familiar with SA pistols like 1911s and Hi-powers. This is something that should never be done. The hammer only falls with the intent of firing a round, or on an empty chamber.

Why would you do this?
bones1014:
GLOCKs are not double action pistols. They fall under "preset" type pistols. The trigger cannot fully "cock" the gun and the striker won't ignite the primer without that little extra spring tension provided by the trigger.
