Now, your home. You suggest, even for night time storage, that you store without a round in the chamber, the trigger back, clip in the firearm, ready to be racked.
Is this correct?

I just wanted to give the new sub-forum a boost, and also not to hear of any more ND's with Glocks for any reason.

Just to clarify. A Glock cannot be stored with a live round chambered and the trigger to the rear. A round can be in the chamber with the trigger to the rear, only during the chambering of a round following a discharge. Once you let off the trigger, the reset will actuate and it will return to a forward trigger (safe action) position. If you somehow manage to figure this one out, you're beyond genius. Someone is bound to try, so for your own safety and that of others...do not attempt to get this scenario to work.
I recommend that when storing at home (nightstand position) that you use a Safe-T Block to help keep the trigger from being accidentally pulled until it's removed. Elevated stress levels do strange things to us.
