Saf-T-Block

If you are righthanded and you are drawing from a right hip holster with your left hand you could still punch the Saf-T-Block out with any of your fingers as soon as you are past the trigger guard. It doesn't take that much force to dislodge.
 
If you are talking bout carrying without a holster (wich I don't like) I guess there is a use.
When I got my first Glock, I was also a bit conserned about not having a safety.
I cocked the gun when empty, and handeled, carried and threw the gun around for a few weeks.
Not once did it go off, and I came to trust the safe action system.
You might try something like that yourself if you are conserned.

How easy is it to remove if one is forced to draw with the weak hand?

I would say darn near impossible. I don't think it could be done without dropping the weapon (or laying it down). Good point!!!

None the less, 99.9% of unintentional discharges are negligent.

Most Glocks (actually all handguns) are indeed carried by very fallible human beings! Some tend to more prone to handling errors than others!

Just letting you guys know that when I was in Cheaper Than Dirt this evening they had a crapload of the Saf-T-Blocks, I believe they were $11.97 .
 
You do need to make sure you get the right model for your pistol.

If you get a mismatch, the Saf-T-Blok can push against the trigger safety and eventually the constant pressure will cause the polymer spring in the trigger safety to relax rendering it useless.
 
All right, I just ordered a new Saf-T-Blok for my new Glock (got it yesterday) direct from the manufacturer [(800) 472-4405]. That's where I got my last one, and they were just as nice this time. Total price (incl. delivery) was $16.95.
 
And how do you, as a new user of the block, find it add/subtracts from the safety of the glock, and how much does it add/subtract from the time to draw the weapon?

Thanks

Um, Colin, I wasn't clear.

I am not a new user of the block - see my post up-page (I believe I was the first to respond to this thread).

And I wasn't clear either about the new one I've got coming. I got the new Glock yesterday; I ordered the new Saf-T-Blok from the manufacturer as the start of business today.

As I said earlier, a Saf-T-Blok adds nothing to my time getting the gun on target and into action. I consider that it adds safety when I put the gun into a fanny pack w/o a holster.

Anyway, I think you'll like yours when it comes.
 
I'm sorry, I must have misread.

...won't be able to take her to the range until Saturday even though I can get her on Friday... damn engineering labs...

Chin up, Colin, the rain ought to be over by then! :) (I'm hoping to sneak out tomorrow, but who knows what it'll be like. We're getting a soaking right now.)

In the meantime, you can sneak over to Mi Nidito and have a president's plate for me! :D
 
Actually, I was going to go to the indoor range, the rain stopped in Tucson not too long ago - and I haven't been to Mi Nidito in quite a while, I think I'll have to go sometime soon...

Damn, it's already 9 o'glock...
c'mon and glock around the glock tonight...
rock out with your glock out?

I'm a bit stoked to go pick up the new tool...
