Glock 19 discharged by holsterThis is a discussion on Glock 19 discharged by holster within the Non-XD Handguns forums, part of the Other Handgun Talk category; That's not a yes or no question, but yes they could.
Holstering the gun wasn't the issue, the gun was already holstered. He changed positions ...

Holstering the gun wasn't the issue, the gun was already holstered. He changed positions to get his seatbelt on, so in this case a grip safety would have been quite effective.
In this case you could also argue that the seatbelt caused the incident. 
Thanks, have a nice day

Basically, I'm leery of the Glock because I'd have to get used to the lack of an added safety. Situations like this arise, and like car accidents, only a second of inattention can get you killed.
Basically, with any firearm, carry with a good holster, and keep everything in good shape. If it's not in top form, you're likely better off leaving it at home.

Of course your statement is true, but sometimes people simply brain-fart and forget to do the "accepted best practices". It can happen to anyone who lets down their guard.
When these events happen (as they will), the grip safety on an XD can save the day. Without said grip safety, the threshhold for an AD is lower.
I think we're back to the same point. A grip safety would have prevented this. A pistol lacking a grip safety is less forgiving of human error, and therefore is, IMHO, inherently less safe.
I still want a Glock someday.

Too close for comfort, definitely believing this guy does have a good brain between the ears, you would think he would have noticed this and replaced the holster long before this incident took place. Which is why it's called preventative maintenance.

Seems to me that a decent holster would have prevented an AD, regardless of what make handgun. I've never been a fan of the "slide" style.
I'm glad that he wasn't seriously hurt.

Perfect example of a cheap holster being used where a better stiffer holster should have been worn, not to mention, why carry a Glock when you can carry a XDm that has the trigger safety and the grip safety.
I have one of Lukes double leather, kydex reinforced holsters from:
Adams Holsters
when the mouth of the holster can't bend over it can't get into the trigger.
This man learned his lessons the hard way.

Grip safeties can fail. Not likely, but they can and have. All that said, the guy probably saw that holster getting collapsed over time and just thought, "Gosh my holster is breaking in real well!" Not a thought to, this platform goes bang when the trigger is depressed. Saw the leather pinching in many times and was probably muzzle stabbing his hip trying to get the dang thing in and cursed a few times but still kept the thing in service.

Carry a gun you can fight with. Anything else is putting you in a postion of loose.

Always a chance you've got enough fat to trigger your grip safety; then it's just a trigger pull away from AD

My brother saw me reholster without using my thumb on the back of the slide ONCE... I won't soon forget the lecture and I won't reholster with my hand on the grip/backstrap again.
