Thx for posting pics. I could not see them on the other forum.
The swelling is a result of the trauma. His other leg is not overly large.

It's like blaming a hammer for your smashed fingernail.
the other leg is bigger than mine and I'm a pretty big dude still.
What dumb ass carries with that clip thingy without at least a safety? You certainly don't run that way with a round chambered in a Glock. Take his CCW away! Anyone who can't see that is a nasty cocktail should not carry.

If you look at one of the pictures you can see his other leg. Seems sorta normal sized to me.

I'm sorry for his pain and the loss of his leg, but that has to be one of the most asinine carry methods I've ever seen. He is the unfortunate victim of his own ignorance. I didn't get past page 1 of the forum link, but those who are blaming Glocks for the accident over there are just as ignorant.
Unless this dude was doing yoga at the time, he must have been doing an appendix carry with that stupid clip thing. Even with a proper holster, not a fan of that so close to my boyz. No thx.
He was putting it in his pocket
Damn....Im sorry, even more ignorant of a move on his part.

For moral support I took the NRA pistol course with my wife last year. Very little is mentioned about the value of a good holster.

I wouldnt go that far, of course he screwed up, but first he shouldnt need a permit on a RIGHT, and 2nd; he certainly should lose his RIGHT for hurting himself.
Im sure your statement was more for dramatic effect but some people might think thats reasonable (when its certainly not).

Could of happened with any pistol or revolver, safety or no safety. The clip application was the prime culprit.
With a double action revolver like a j-frame it would be tough.

I just took my CCW class down here and the instructor had a big bag full of holsters and using a blue gun demonstrated why you need to have one that covers the trigger guard on trigger safety guns. He recommended all carry guns be carried in a holster, even pocket or purse guns.

My favorite (neoprene) pocket holster came with explicit written instructions for use. (Don't re-holster handgun with holster in pocket.) I wonder how many people actually read the instructions that come with their holsters?
I cant figure out how this fired - he said "two fingers on the grip" and then he lost his grip and it "fell back into his pocket and it went off". I'm trying to figure out how falling back into his pocket pulled the trigger. Not saying it didn't, just trying to understand that sequence caused the trigger to pull. I own the same glock 30, but stock, so it makes me think about it. That pistol looks custom, so i wonder if hes made the pull so light that this could have been a contributing factor.

It does look like an aftermarket trigger. Looks like the safety is blue.

No that's not my leg. The man's name is Alvin. Great guy with an unfortunate accident. Poor fellow. He normally does't carry a glock. Just happened to pick that one on that day. Lost his leg too.
