A significant number of stiker-fired A/D's occur not when re-holstering, but upon draw. …
What are the circuмstances of the drawstroke ADs? Trigger finger discipline? "Appendix" carry?

My grandmother carries one of these in an ankle holster on each leg:

Primarily trigger finger discipline. Secondarily, not having a proper holster protecting the trigger.  And yes, I know that these can be (theoretically) overcome with proper equipment/practice/procedure. 

I know ex-cops whose duty pistols were Glock 22's, and they carried holstered Condition 1 all the time.  But now that they are retired, they carry Glocks Condition 3. 

To be clear, I have no problem with others carrying a Glock in Condition 1; that's their choice and I'm not going to question it.  But for me, I'd rather it be in Condition 3.

Agreed that Glocks should not be pocket pistols.

As with so many earthly matters, the answer is, "It depends." In this case, hand strength may be dispositive. A woman of decent hand strength might select a different gun than a woman with little hand strength.
A woman with a great distaste for guns is unlikely to dedicate even the modest amount of time necessary to become safe and competent in the use of the gun. That is the first question you must answer for yourself.
Thank you.
I don't like them but I don't hate them. I know they are necesary because our world is turning very dangerous. I'm from a country where it's not allowed to carry them on the street but you can have them at your home to defend yourself from intruders.
I will obey my husband and I will take lessons to know how to use a gun. We don't have children yet but I want to feel secure to defend my children from any home invasion.
I have decent hand straight. I went to an armery and they told me women are buying Colt, Beretta and Glock small guns.
