Re: Worn Leather Hoslter Causes "Accidental" Discharge

Does anyone think this could be a risk for all or many other types of leather holsters or is it just this type?
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.
