I like my G19. I'd carry it owb. In a holster or in my car. Never loose in a pocket, even a bulky jacket pocket.
Would you put a Glock in your pocket?

I don't know where you guys come up with this ****.
The Glock needs it's trigger pulled just like the revolvers that people have carried in their pockets for about a hundred years.
I think we have a group of people who have never really spent time with side arms talking through their hats.

Nope. But I don't like Striker fired guns on the whole. That is why my M&P is a dedicated duty gun and my P2000 is my CCW....
There are things you can and can't do with a Glock. If you own one you owe it to yourself to find out what they are. I've carried mine in a back pocket, front pocket, in a quality holster, and "Mexican" depending on the circumstances. I've never had a ND. As long as your finger or any other object stays out of the trigger guard you're good. Like the man says, people have been pocket carrying revolvers (for at least 100 or more years) without issues...

I carried my Glock 19 for several years in pockets with no problems.
I used to do all my deer hunting on State Forest land, from bow-gun-
muzleloader on public land. Every single hunt it was in the side pocket
of my camo coveralls, walking, climbing trees, dragging deer out,
always chamber loaded. When driving the 2+ hours each way it was in
the pocket of my camo hunting pants which has larger and tougher
pockets than jeans. Nothing else in the same pocket, no pocket
holster either. When I bought my 26 I used it instead of the 19. More
recently I hunt my own property but still do the same thing when I'm
able to hunt with my back problems. Glocks are like any other gun in
my experience. They don't fire unless you pull the trigger.

A Smith and Wesson revolver (stock) has about a 12 lb. double action trigger pull whereas a Glock is 5.5 lb. I believe.
I don't currently own a Glock but if I ever get another one I'd never carry it without a proper holster. But then again, I always use a pocket holster that covers the trigger guard when I pocket carry a revolver too.

Just use a dedicated pocket holster for the Glock that covers the trigger guard. Don't let it slosh around in the pocket naked.
I had a Glock 27 as a BUG & used a pocket holster in uniform pants leg cargos and I have no 10mm holes in any limbs. Its the De Santis tacky pocket holster. Works well.
I have since traded that heavy thing in for a S&W 638. Much easier to carry.

Oh yea, and DO NOT carry anything in the pocket other than the gun/holster. Chapstick can do bad, bad things even with the holster.

I wouldn't carry ANY loaded handgun in my pocket without a holster, unless I intended to USE it, and in MINUTES.

Can't see carrying a concealed weapon w/o a chambered round.

i've got nothing against Glocks but when I was in the market for a 9 and rented one I found there was no comparison in the way it felt in my hand to my M&P.
When you first pick up an M&P, it's a love affair.... that it shoots well is the icing on the cake...

I suppose it's possible to accidently fire a Glock in your pocket...guys manage to fire them in holsters and while taking the thing apart now and then.
Yeh..probably a good idea to put a glock in a trigger covering holster. I will admit though..I often do just drop a Glock in my pocket..but I don't have anything else in that pocket..and I don't stroll around with my hand in the pocket 'fingering' the trigger.
The 'fingering' the trigger thing is the Glock pistol's biggest vulnerability(any gun for that matter)..folks just don't seem to grasp that the trigger is the doohickey that releases the thingybob that hits the cartridge and makes the gun go BOOM...

I don't do pocket carry but why Glock? I never hear these questions about M&P or SV or Sigma or PPQ or PPS or FNX or The P99. .....etc...etc..
It's always Glock. Yet most M&P's I see have no safety, none, zero, zip, zilch, nada. The Walther PPQ/P99/PPS have equal amount of safeties as the M&P and yet nothing. ..no complaints.
If I had a pocket holster I would pocket carry a Glock

I don't carry Glocks. I pocket carry my S&W Model 37 in a good pocket holster at work to back up my S&W Model 686. I wouldn't carry anything in my pocket without a holster for it, and nothing else rides in that pocket.

The track record does speak for itself. When you hear of a gun going off (now called AD and ND) it is usually a striker fired gun. The difference between a striker fired and a revolver is that the revolver is not cocked. Pulling the trigger on a DA revolver cocks and releases the hammer. Pulling the trigger on a striker fired gun will not cock it. The slide cocks the gun and the trigger releases the striker. Carrying a striker fired gun is the same as carrying a cocked revolver and the only difference is the cocked revolver has a better trigger. I have been told before that I don't really understand how striker fired pistols work but I do know that when I hear of a gun going off it is usually a striker fired gun. Maybe striker fired guns are safe and it is just the people that carry them are unsafe. Larry

You have one thing right, you don't understand how a striker works. Unlike a single action like a 1911 the chambering of a round does not fully coco the weapon. Pulling the trigger sets the striker and releases it. Much more like a double action revolver.
Any handgun I carry goes in a holster, pocket carry or not.
