Re: Worn Leather Hoslter Causes "Accidental" Discharge

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.
