Don't mess with the safe-t-blok.

If you really feel the need for a manual safety, get a Cominolli safety.

Safety Block is absolute crap.  A stupid idea.  Causes you to violate handling rules.

I carry a Glock, chambered, all day, everyday.  No problems here.

Get a better holster, or get the safety mentioned above installed.  Or get another gun.

the problem is you violate a general gun safety rule which is "do not put your finger in the trigger guard until absolutly ready to fire."  to pop the gat-blok you have to shove your finger in the trigger guard.  I'm happy with a decent holster guarding my trigger.  If cond 1 isn't for you, then glock probably isn't the best solution.  Think about a DA/SA with safety.

I could definatly see how under a high stress situation you could fumble and pull the trigger while removing the block. Perhaps if the block had already been removed, or was not installed that day and you are in a combat situation trying to feel it without looking and you could ND.

Exactly.  I forgot to mention that I do use a NY1 spring in my "carry" Glocks.  I just prefer them.

A decent holster will keep it safe while chambered, not some stupid-ass gimmick.

Yeah, we're not tryin' to rip you apart on the holster thing.  Just know, that that's one of the more important things about carrying a defensive pistol.  Anyone "in the know" will tell you to have a strong, quality holster, that covers the trigger guard, holds the pistol securely, and is securely atatched to something (belt, etc.).  Has to be solid to be safe.

It does suck to spend more on a better holster than just gettin' a cheapy, but in the end you'll be glad you did.

Incidentally, there are some very good makers out there that don't cost an arm and a leg.  Don Hume is one that comes to mind.  Bianchi has good stuff too, and usually isn't too expensive.  Also the Kydex-type manufacturers have injection molded models that don't always cost that much.

We're just tryin' ta help ya out.

If you're carrying IWB: Blade tech has a "universal" (in that it fits all 9mm/.40 cal. Glocks) IWB in stock for $40. It can be adjusted to straight drop for appendix carry, if you're into that.
