What do you use?

What do you use now?

Aren't these absent op threads worth it?

Ah yes. Personally I enjoy talking to a wall. No one talks back.

Cause deep down I am a really nice guy trying to help… who am I kidding. I'm dead inside.

The release is right over the trigger guard, meaning you are depressing it as you draw your pistol out of the holster moving your index finger toward the trigger as it's being drawn. I think they're banned at some places.

If you're not drawing the firearm correctly (finger indexed along the frame) that can happen. If, however, you actually learn to draw correctly then the chances of an accident are nil.
I've been using one of those holsters for near 18 years and have had 0 issues and have shot many IDPA matches using one.

Fair enough sir. With mine the release is actuated with my thumb moving forward on the left side of the holster.

"Safariland 6390 level 1 retention"-lemme help...
I'll check this one out. It's not uncommon to un-cover at times. I prefer not to open carry without some kind of retention.

There is a reason Tex shot himself.

There is a reason that most legit training courses and instructors don't allow them in their classes and it has to do with safety.

"Legit"?
"Training"?-like reading the instructions?
After the TexPerforation, my best friend, club president and match director, banned them for IDPA, and for general move-and-shoot use.
He can be an idiot.

Yes there is. It's because he was curling his finger instead of keeping it straight as one should when drawing, regardless of the holster used.

#2 Bingo!
The #1 reason? And it isn't the practicing fast-draw.

Think what you want. And I'll think what I want. I think Serpa holsters are trash.
