Article says it was on his hip, but is kinda short on details. For the most part, prudence dictates that you use a holster for that sort of thing. And pretty much any commercially available holster is shrouding the trigger and simply isn't going to fire the gun because you bent over. There's something else going on here. I'm guessing it's probably negligence.

Lots of retention holsters are actually known to be the cause of ND's. Serpas are one example. Leather holsters can also wear and pinch, which can catch the trigger when holstering or even while moving. The Wal-Mart nylon holsters are just as prone to do it as an old leather one. Pair that with a safety free Glock with a 4.5 lb trigger, yeah it's pretty easy.

Makes sense. I remember that now about leather. I always liked the look of a nice leather holster.

I suppose it could be a manufacturers defect. But maybe also neglect on his part leading to the holster failing.

Either way it'll be interesting to find out.

Shouldn't be allowed to have it. The fact that you can walk around with a weapon on a hair trigger is fucking insane. But I suppose the selfish don't give two fucks what innocents they may kill because fReDuM Murika yeah!
