And you don’t seem to understand that it may not go that way while pushed against a wall or on the ground or when wrestling with someone. Many times the grip is gripped haphazardly.

It could. But that would happen regardless of holster.

Look. You like it. That isn’t the issue. The issue is the disingenuousness you’ve displayed here.

But no finger pressure is being applied to other holsters. Sure it could happen but the chances are less than on a holster that you do have to apply finger pressure.
Thanks for your opinion. I encourage you to buy one and train with it to educate yourself.

No thank you. I will take the word of professionals. Besides, I don’t open carry so there is no need for me to buy one and if I did, it would have no retention.
Ahh. The ole "head in the sand" approach. If you are going to come on here making claims, you should at least be able to say you've held one in your hands. At the very least, hop on Amazon and read some of the thousands and thousands of glowing reviews from people who actually own one. That's better data than what some "professional" tells you who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend.

Look. I carry a Glock 26. It is upgraded with an entirely new trigger, trigger bar, connector and everything. It’s much lighter. I’m not going to sit here and say that the chance of me having an unintended discharge is the same as when it had a heavier trigger. Nor will I say that the chances are the exact same as if I carried a gun with a manual safety that is removed as the sights are about to hit my eyes. Things happen. I’m human.
I go that route despite increasing my chances of having an unintended discharge because I shoot it better with a lighter trigger. I also don’t want to ever forget to disengage a safety. It’s happened to me before under a non stressful environment. Those are trade offs that to me are worth the slight chance of an unintended discharge.
I will never sit here and tell anyone that it could never happen. The chances are low but it could happen. It happens multiple times a year with people with more experience then me and more shots down range than me. I carry when I’m sick, hurt, drinking, angry, excited, horsing around wrestling on the ground, ect. I know the risks. I just try to be careful as much as I can be and hope that it never happens.
But to say that there is zero possibility is a flat out lie. I’m no liar. Regardless if the lie is needed to win an Internet argument.

Just got back from Sams Club. Stocked up on beer. Wore my G23/4 in the SERPA with 2 spare mags in an OWB carrier. I can report that there were no shots fired. Just a light pullover on to cover. I suspect the Cheektowaga cop working the store made me out by the nod he gave me. I gave him one back and continued on with my business. I've reached the point long ago where I don't give two shits if I print and someone figures it out. I'm not doing anything wrong.
It is hard to believe your gun even allowed itself to be placed in that holster.
It resisted me at first but I was able to make it happen. Now it won't talk to me.It is hard to believe your gun even allowed itself to be placed in that holster.
Buy it some good federal ammo and some new oil. It will be good by morning.

You know what they do when a million parents use a car seat successfully till their kids outgrow it, but a dozen dumbasses manage to cut off a toe or something.
They declare the design defective and recall it.
Absolutely, yet the SERPA has been around a long time and no such action has taken place. They are freely sold nationwide.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't been sued into oblivion over it.
There are legal protections for firearm manufacturers, but not accessories like holsters.
Maybe just because gun owners are less likely to be litigious assholes than the average American.
Sooner or later some hood rat is going to get the idea that they can turn a few hundred dollars and a leg wound into a million dollar suit.
Maybe it has really only happened a handful of times and they can show that the user didn't follow the instructions that came with the product. I can't put my foot under the lawnmower and sue when my foot is gone. I ignored how they told me to use it.

And if you did that after several major government landscaping departments banned that model of mower because it was too easy to do that, you'd probably own the mower company when you were done.

Isn't this that holster that Tex Grebner shot himself with?

It's a crap holster. Either you know it, you will learn it in due time, or you don't Want to learn about it.
