I agree. Anyone can shoot themselves with any gun, the whole thing is just a rumor spread by Glock haters. After all the Glock is similar to your conventional revolver (i.e aim and shoot) without any unnecessary safety mechanisms slowing you down.
That said I was looking for this holster too, don't know if you found a site or store yet?
Liability and tort laws are VERY different in Europe and Asia than they are here in the US. Here, all you have to do is show that a manufacturer was aware there are issues (not problems, or malfunctions, but simply "issues") with a product to hold them liable.
In Europe, Asia, and most of th erest of the world, you have to be able to show in a court that the manufacturer INTENTIONALLY put out a product that they KNEW to be defective, dangerous, or was known to malfunction in order to hold them criminally liable.
And the idea of holding a corporation civilly liable is almost unheard of outside the US.
It's a MUCH higher standard of proof in most of the world, for liability cases, and few courts outside the US will even hear a product liability case.
Glock can sell their holsters to citizens outside the US for 2 reasons:
1) in most nations outside the US, the only people who can own handguns are cops, military, and the VERY wealthy--none of which are likely to sue if they have a injurious ND, and
2) Even if a Glock owner outside the US DD decide to sue over an ND, there isn't a court in the world (outside the US) that would hear the case.
Glock knows where it is safe to sell their holster, legally. And they feel that if they sold their purpose-built holster in the US, and people STILL had NDs while reholstering (which happen with Glocks more than any other semi-auto--this is NOT a myth, it's been documented by the DOJ, and numerous municipal LEAs) it would look VERY bad for them if a victim brought a civil liability suit...
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not bashing Glocks. I own and carry a Glock 36 daily. It's a fine firearm, and it is just as safe as any other DA pistol I've ever owned or used. It's reliable, lightweight, and accurate.
But the fact remains that the lack of any sort of manual safety on the Glock requires a relatively high level of training and trigger discipline for safe handling. It doesn't take much to pop off a round with a Glock if your finger is in the trigger guard, especially in a stressful situation...
DC Metro PD has averaged about 10 NDs a year since they adopted the Glock. The facts don't lie.
The Glock is a fine, safe, accurate, and reliable firearm--IF you know how to handle it safely and follow the manual of arms. But it doesn't leave much "margin of error" with regards to trigger discipline, and THAT is the issue here...
I love my Glock.
