Of course, opinions vary...but there are an awful lot of mofo's out there walking around with a limp now because they let their guard down for just a second and that ugly plastic black bugger bit them.

I don't entirely disagree. If I carry side holstered, or shoulder holstered I am not worried. The only trick to keeping a Glock safe is to keep your finger off the trigger.
If I pocket carry (with a pocket holster) I don't carry my Glock (it is too big anyway) or my Kahr K9 with a round in the pipe. I spent some time practicing racking a round in as part of drawing the weapon. I ended up buying a little Beretta 9000S 9mm that I bought for pocket carry because it has a decocker and a manual safety.
