Just putting it in context for the chicken littles of the world.
Especially if the "safety" on your pistol of choice is a little trigger on the trigger.
When we started putting the manual safety ON the trigger.
I know, "Safeties are mechanical devices which will fail," (from every NRA test), but mix re-holstering, with lighter than DA trigger, no exposed hammer and no safety, guess what folks, this is what happens...often. Doesn't matter your type of holster. From clothing, drawstrings, mostly fingers and holster parts themselves.
I'm guessing more than have of this crowd carries SF, no thumb safety guns and carry on I say. But if you ignore what is missing compared to other guns containing these features, most respectfully, there is a lack of intellectual honesty. Just like if I denied carrying at Red Robin today AIWB does not pose more of a risk to my body than other modes (I completely acknowledge that it does). And that is why there is a thumb safety on my M&P 2.0C and I never reholster with a loaded gun (practice often with an unloaded one in case I need to at some point).
Funny, I've have to drawn and re-holstered a Glock with a round in the chamber literally tens of thousands of times and I'm still here. I must be doing something wrong.
I find it interesting that many high end shooting schools do not allow Serpa holsters because a shooter's finger may hit the trigger. Yet many law enforcement agencies issue them. Again, this is primarily due to SF guns with no mechanical safety. I was at a class this year where an "experienced" shooter had a crazy light trigger on a Glock carry gun.
Choose your risk exposure wisely.
Yep. Warm and fuzzy. That's. About. It.
That is not a manual safety, it is a passive safety.

That FBI agent who did a backflip wouldn't have been a social media sensation if he carried a decocking safety DA/SA pistol. The guy here wouldn't have suffered this life changing wound.
Due to sanctions vickers had to swim to Russia and back, which caused the weight loss.Have you ever taken a vickers class? He does not allow any IWB holsters at all. He wants a owb holster in a duty style. Many high quality instructors carry AIWB. Most are a little thinner than Larry although he has been killing it on weight loss as of late.
You should check out the haley strategic series on holster selection.
Yep, it's an unforgiving world out there. Meanwhile, millions of people will choose to drive drunk in this country tonight.
No, I'm saying the flapjack is on the plate.So, you're saying that while it breaks the "rules" and is really stupid, you should (insert) (drink and drive) (point a gun at yourself all day in AIWB) ignore common sense and act recklessly and dangerously?

This is why every pistol I own has a thumb safety on the slide. It may not be foolproof, but it's an added safeguard against this kind of injury.Especially if the "safety" on your pistol of choice is a little trigger on the trigger.
Fitz SpecialLots of guys used to chop the trigger guard off of their snubbies too - popular with plain clothes cops and civie carriers.
But if I have to reholster my handgun I remove my holster put the handgun in and then put the holster back in my waist band.
