Re: Worn Leather Hoslter Causes "Accidental" Discharge

I like my XDm because of the grip safety as well. I lift my palm off it when re-holstering as others have described. It's a good point though to realize it will still fire on the draw if something has been holding the trigger back. This guy suffered a wound that will forever after have him examining the design, condition, and quality of his holsters. You would think this would be a no brainer, but lots of people don't have a good eye for potential safety problems. It's why there are a jillion laws on the design of manufactured goods. Maybe this should be covered in classes more. I took the NRA introduction course on handguns and holster design was never mentioned. With more and more people buying guns who have never owned one before, courses for beginners should not leave equipment safety out--especially with some of the crappy holsters on every shelf in the stores. Just my two cents FWIW.
