Ouch!!! It really hurts watching this video. For that reason I do not AIWB carry. I 4:00 carry IWB or preferably, OWB, with a sport jacket or shirt untucked.

Its not a method of carry problem, its a lack of diligence problem.

The Glock firing pin is not cocked until such time as the trigger is pulled.

I’ve started carrying AIWB and on the rare occasions I do draw, when I need to reholster I take the holster out of my pants, then put the gun in then put it all back in my pants.

Never be in a hurry to reholster and always look

In a glock, the striker is "half-cocked. That tension that resets the trigger and pulls it forward? That's the striker doing the work; it's hooked, and it only takes rearward motion of the trigger to fully retract the striker and discharge the weapon.

There is NO way the weapon could have been discharged by bending over, it it was properly secured in that holster.

The previous issue with a in on the trigger protruding...did NOT happen as advertised; the reasons why have been discussed at length. The pistol in this video did not simply discharge. The trigger safety was moved, the trigger was pressed, and it went off, and that cannot happen if properly secured in the holster. Securing that holster means ensuring that nothing is fouling it when holstering, as well as ensuring that it's free of interference before leaving the grip.

Treat it like your life depends on it, because it does.

If standing in your office, there is no reason for failure to look while holstering, examine the holster, clear it of clothing, cords, or anything else that might interfere, carefully holster, and double check before removing the hand.

The pistol did NOT discharge simply from him bending over. It was NOT properly holstered to begin with.

watching the vid on my 30 inch monitor. I tlooks like the holster is right at the edge of the belt buckle. then it also looks like he either did not seat it correctly covering the trigger gaurd, or when he started to bend the gun pulled out a hair as the buckle caught the trigger.


my two cents in a world of hundred dollar bills.

That was painful to watch.

Insufficient striker engagement, bending over torques the gun in an usual way, the striker slips off and "boom". Yes, it still shouldn't go off, but the world's an imperfect place.

The Glock Striker isn't cocked until the trigger begins to be pulled.

It's half way I believe.

It is partially, but it would still be blocked by the firing pin safety until the trigger was pulled.

I’ve carried the 43 in and Incog and still do occasionally. The reason why I’m saying that is I find it extremely difficult to believe that it went off without something being in the holster manipulating the trigger or a gun issue. The Incog uses a thicker kydex than most manufacturers and when properly seated the 43 snaps in with force. I’ve had the belt clip work off my belt while sitting on a mower for 2 hours but the gun was still locked in.

It’s unfortunate but more than likely the individual in this video just got lazy.

Striker fired pistol without a secondary manual safety carried IWB (worse yet AIWB). What could possibly go wrong??? That!

As for me, if I could only carry AIWB with a striker fired pistol, I would not carry a pistol. Just my opinion. YMMV

I’d love to know what actually happened. I do carry AIWB and in a holster I made it’s a hammer driven DA/SA P6 tho.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with inside-the-waistband carry with a striker fired pistol. I carry in the pocket without any hesitation, using a pocket holster. I carry IWB with striker pistols constantly, no issues at all.

Use the right holster and clothing which does not restrict, check the holster before reholstering, use it properly, and train. No problem. A little caution goes a long way, as does a bit of common sense.

He didnt look very confident when he holstered his weapon. I would bet he had the thought that it didn't feel right and he ignored it, resulting in the ND.
