I tell this tale ON myself as a warning to others. "Mea Culpa. . . . Mea Maxima Culpa!"
Back when the CHL's were first available, I had been CC'ing extra-legally for years, but they were J-frames & PPK's.
Bride bought me a "Don Johnson Miami Vice Jackass Rig" shoulder holster and I decided to carry my big gun, a yet-unfired G21. (Yes, I know. . . I know)
First day was Saturday; went to visit my dog trainer. The wind blew jacket open, he saw, asked to look at gun.
OK, let me unload it. Oh wait, the GLOCK won't come out of the holster. I eventually took rig off to investigate. Gun STUCK. Even with us both trying, Carefully, as a round was known to be in chamber; still stuck. Each and both failed. Took it home, and had to use tools to extract gun.
GALCO "Help" said to unload and place GLOCK into big Ziplock bag, then force the unloaded gun back into holster, while still in bag. Repeat overnight for several nights, then try again. Finally, the GLOCK would come out, still difficult.
There are several lessons in this brief story. Please learn from my mistakes !
