Why not carry the Glock 17 in a proper holster?

You asked a question that can not be answered, followed up with statements that you sometimes carry a striker fired Glock without a holster and have a home made safety.
Triple threat of trouble.

My advice would be. If you want to see if you're printing buy a mirror and look, and the homemade "safety" sounds like a recipe for disaster.
My safety works so well that a company stole my idea and marketed it.My advice would be. If you want to see if you're printing buy a mirror and look, and the homemade "safety" sounds like a recipe for disaster.

And what happened from that? Did the person that called the police stick around? Did he/she confront you?I had someone call the police on me one fine day when they noticed a bulge.

It’s not much bigger than a Government, and it weighs less. No worries.

I often carry a G17 at 4: 00 OWB or IWB with no issue. Once, at church, a fellow LTC holder & I discussed how big a pistol one could conceal. She was surprised when I lifted my shirt hem and showed her the OWB-holstered G17.
Dress around the gun, and use a good holster/belt combo.

How do you know that no-one notices?
I have been concealed carrying since way before we had concealed carry permits here in Missouri. I have had lots of practice at it. NOTE: I have both a Missouri CCW Permit as well as a Retired LE ID Card.
Between being a Reserve Deputy Sheriff, and a Police Chief I concealed carried for about 20 years before Missouri had CCW Permits.
I do own a full length mirror, and check to see how much I might be printing in different clothing.
I have several cover garments selected specifically to cover my firearm in different temperatures, and under different conditions. An example would be wearing a lite vest under a coat so that I could remove the coat say at Church, and still have my handgun concealed. I might have 2 or 3 different cover garments available in my vehicle to cover a day warming up while I am out and about.
I carry at 4 O-Clock in a holster. What holster depends on what I am carrying. Most of the time I carry a G23 in a custom leather IWB holster, with a high-riding double magazine pouch weak side at 3 O-Clock. I also carry 2"-3" K Frame revolvers at the same location. I carry my full size 1911 Colt once in a while both inside and outside the waist band.
With longer pistols such as the G35, which I do not at this time have an IWB holster for. I pay attention to the length of my cover garments, to make sure the G35 stays covered.
I have been the President of our local Sportsman's Club since 1986. People ask me questions about concealed carry, concealed carry classes etc. all the time. I have shown my holstered firearm to lots of people over the years asking for advice on ccw gear. You would not believe the number who have commented that they had no idea I was carrying.
NOTE: Showing your concealed carry handgun is not normally a good thing to do. Since I have been the Club President for ever, and I am the one who people get referred to about ccw classes, range use etc. I am in a slightly different position.
I would not Mexican Carry a Glock with one in the chamber without a manual safety. My advice, Get a hi quality holster. Next you might consider a slightly smaller pistol such as a G19, or even a G26. The less grip the easier to conceal. The other side of that coin would be at some point they get harder to shoot well. I tried a G27 for a while, and went back to a more shootable G23.

otasan That is what I would recommend also.
I live in a rural area just down the road from Mayberry with a low population density. Most everyone knows me. They know I was a Deputy Sheriff, and Police Chief for a long period of time. Being Club President of the local Sportsman's Club for the last 31 years, everyone knows that also. In my area all the local gun shops refer people to me asking about ccw and Range use. I was talking to a lady the other day at WalMart who was close to 50. She brought it to my attention that I was her Hunters Safety Instructor when she was in High School.

Time to close this:
1. The method of carry and it's visibility is easily determined by anyone with common sense.
2. Carrying unchambered and in your belt is flat out naive. Nor is a homemade safety convincing.
