Bear with me, folks, as I lay out my thinking and my question.
OK, I've been shooting a Glock 19 recently (rental, by the way). I must admit, I like shooting it, and I think I will get one once I return to the States (military overseas at the moment).
I have also thought about getting a Cominolli safety: I'm comfortable with the standard safeties when the pistol is in the holster, or when drawing, but I would like that extra measure of safety when holstering (this appears to be the node of weakness for AD’s/ND’s). I understand that, for this safety to be installed, a cut has to be made into the frame of the pistol.
Now, here are my questions:
(1) Does the cut to the frame necessary for installation pose any problems with regards to the integrity of the frame, long-term durability, etc.?
(2) Does the Cominolli safety prevent the slide from moving? So, if I activate this safety when holstering, will this prevent the slide from accidentally coming out of battery (even slightly)?
(3) If not, how do I prevent the slide from moving out of battery (even slightly) when holstering? (Is there anything wrong with holstering a Glock pistol with my thumb on the rear of the slide – Am I courting some unexpected problem if I do this?)
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
