Is there a technique to learn that changes my grip to aviod the grip safety compression from the word go?
Actually if you are pressing the grip safety while holstering an XD/XDm pistol then you are holstering wrong. To properly holster an XD/XDm type firearm place your thumb on the back of the striker status indicator (rear of slide) while holstering, this will keep human hands from engaging the grip safety and will give you an extra measure of safety while holstering.
Hey thank you very much that was the exact kind of tip I was looking for. I knew to keep my index finger straight but I was wrapping my thumb as I unholstered and reholstered. So now to remember this tip I will just think to myself WRECK eM tECH and get my gun up
