Whoots posted a shortened clip of this the other day in the Pit. Pretty funny they tried using this video to promote the holster and never realized he went against everything he talked about in the beginning.

Will never own one of those holsters.

I have used them, even in competition. While I've never had any issues with my finger going near the trigger, I won't use them just because of how easy they are to jam up with any debris.

I had a Serpa for my HK USP .45 for a while. I got rid of it because there was almost no way to draw from it without my finger brushing the trigger. I never felt comfortable drawing the weapon from it because of that.

I've used them for years; carried a 23 on duty in plain clothes for a few years...shot quals and schools with it and never had a problem. I think being used to a level 3 retention holster maybe helped?

I've used one at work for years. Safety isn't in a holster it's between your ears. Master grip. Finger index. Train with your equipment. We never outgrow the fundamentals.

The "expert" in slow motion muzzled his hand on that draw as well.
