If you cant operate this HOLSTER, you have NO business around a loaded HANDGUN!

There have been, however, internet stories about a foreign object becoming lodged behind the release and preventing the handgun from being drawn.

Could happen, after wrestling with a bad guy during an arrest.

Or working in a really dirty environment.

Any doubt,push the button and make sure it still operates.

On the negligent discharges, note they were from GLOCK pistols...not any standard DA/SA design,but from the "safe-action"design trigger. Any NDs from other brands of pistols, ie Sig, HK, Beretta etc that require a full pull of the trigger? You have to be well trsined to keep your fingerout of the trigger guard at all times, except to shoot. You really need to be 1.well trained, 2. disciplined, and 3. Smarter than the equipment you operate.
