They well for being inside bags, pockets, etc. I would never desire to carry a Glock, chambered, without a holster that covered the trigger area.

I have a Dale Fricke Zach, it has its uses but carrying AIWB with it isn't an option IMO. I want better firearm retention and placement than possible even with loop versions like the Raven Vanguard 2 and the lack of ability to reholster alone kills it for me. But yeah, they have a niche, for tossing in back packs, bags, RV sock drawers, etc.

No way. This "holster" is ridiculous.

Ironbar, interesting take. Care to elaborate on the entire trigger guard concept being worthy of ridicule? Have a bad experience or equipment failure with them?

I'm fond of this one for when I'm keeping things light.
It's a trigger cover and iwb belt clip.

This is a handcrafted Kydex holster that is slim and sleek. This style of clip works best with a belt, but has the ability to work without and allows you to tuck your shirt in. The clip is designed for belts up to 1 ½” (1 3/4” belt clip available upon request).

Veil Solutions makes a nice one as well. They have their place in certain scenarios. I've used them from time to time. https://www.veilsolutions.com/products-page/gear/vs-ghost-glock

FYI, if you want someone to know you are asking them a question you should quote them or put "@" symbol in front of their name, like @Ironbar, that way they will receive a PM in their inbox to let them know.

Been using one of these with my Kahr CW45 for about six years now. Not one mishap, not one problem. Gun stays put until you need it. I think they're under 20 bucks at BiMart. It's been a while since I checked.

I used to carry a LCP in the pocket with one. I looped the paracord around a belt loop right above the pocket. I got good at drawing it from the pocket and letting the belt loop do it's thing and pull the holster off the trigger area.

Wife also used on in her corset holster for a bit.

I'm not sold on these for larger guns.

I use them on full size Glocks. But only during longer road trips. It's nice to attach to the trigger guard and I would run paracord from the holster to under the seat. Allowing me to sandwich the gun between the cushion and center console. Easy access while driving and still insuring safety in regards to the trigger. On the draw the gun in released from the holster due to tension.

The ridiculousness is 100% my personal opinion. If other people like it, more power to 'ya. I prefer a holster that's an actual holster.

I always thought this would be a great 'purse' holster. Or pocket holster maybe, put the lanyard on your beltloop or on a purse and when you yank the gun out quick id hope the holster would come off

Purse, backpack, sock drawer. Under the pillow, if you feel the need.

Don't look at it like it is a holster, it really is not.

I'd call it a "trigger cover" more than anything else, but it definitely has its uses. Aside from keeping things out of the trigger loop when tossing a gun in a bag or case, these can be helpful for reminding new shooters to index instead of putting their finger on the trigger, or as an added safety precaution if you have children in the home.

I would never use these models with the string, but I've been using a variation of this "trigger guard holster" for years and it is absolutely the best option I've found for carrying AIWB. When Ping Ping Tactical was around, he would make it for any platform you desired. As far as I'm aware, I'm the only one to have had made one for the P938. These days I am using the advanced vanguard 2 from Raven Concealment with a P365. I can't recommend it highly enough.

These are great for covering the trigger before putting the gun inside a chest pouch.

Absolutely a great point! One thing that makes me cringe in my shorts is when a non-experienced individual picks up a firearm and puts his/her finger in the trigger guard!
