A word of caution for all of my fellow XD owners. Yes, keeping your hand off of the grip safety will keep it from firing if you accidentally pull the trigger or your shirt gets caught in the trigger guard and pulls the trigger for you. However, you still need to be very careful to not let anything interfere with the trigger. If the trigger gets depressed without the grip safety, fine, it won't go off. At least until you grab it trying to draw it. If something is holding the trigger back, as soon as you depress the grip safety it will fire.warhorse10_9 wrote:Yeah, I had noticed that could be a potential problem with any IWB holster really. When I started practicing my draw and re-holstering, I made sure to incorporate a good shirt lift into both operations. I have an XDm I might have to try the thumb thing mentioned above when re-holstering for increased safety I hadn't thought of that.rmr1923 wrote:i use a crossbreed/comp-tac style holster (leather backing with kydex) and found one potential safety issue. fortunately i decided to practice drawing and holstering the gun unloaded several times before doing it with a loaded gun, because one time when i holstered it, my shirt got bunched up inside the trigger guard and when i attempted to push the gun down into the holster it pulled the trigger. it took me a second to realize what had just happened and what the implications could have been had the gun been loaded. now when i holster it i hold my shirt up HIGH to make sure i minimize the chance of an AD/ND.
