Do you mean condition one?
Yes, I did, although as a Glock has no manual safeties, I would think that Condition 0 as defined above would be the more appropriate application. My apologies.

bdjansen said:I wasn't thinking front pocket. I agree that it wouldn't fit well in there. I was thinking about other pockets. Back, jacket. Basically, would you feel comfortable with it in a pocket without something covering the trigger? What if the pocket had other items in it? Would you feel comfortable removing it quickly and being able to not trip the trigger?

As well as covering the trigger, it positions (i.e., always holds it upright) and protects (e.g., from dirt or lint) the gun. It does not physically attach to your pocket. In the case of the leather ones in the pictures, the little tab at the very top - or sometimes the rear one - snags on the pocket during the draw, leaving the holster in the pocket so you only come up with the gun. Other designs use soft nylon or similar material with a strip of rubber-like friction material to catch on the pocket. Do a search for Mika pocket holsters for an example of the latter.So a pocket holster is just basically a cover to guard the trigger when it is in your pocket? But it doesn't attach to your pocket at all?
