These types of discharges usually happen with weapons with trigger safeties only. Rarely with a a secondary safety at the back or a manual safety. This is the trade-off for not training with a manual safety. A Glock is almost always a perfectly safe weapon when properly holstered. However, many pistols may not be properly holstered of something gets in the trigger area and presses it.

Still these accidents are few in number on an annual basis. And many are caused by carelessness. I still prefer a manual safety, but I was always taught to flip the safety when I put my finger on the trigger. I do that as second nature, same with my long guns.
