Reminder that off-body carry is a caution

[steelslaver]

If I need to do a sit down that is exactly where mine goes. In my drawers

Yet another reason that pocket carry is easier. When sitting down at a public toilet, the holstered, pocketed firearm just sags down by your shoes, but never touches the ground. Very unlikely to fall out and be left behind. I own a million holsters (I've thought of opening a holster museum!) but most of the time I pocket carry my Ruger LC9s or S&W 642 in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster.

I cringe whenever purse carry is mentioned. You'd be better off with no gun. Purse snatching is fairly easy, your gun is gone, your phone is gone, your ID, credit cards, cash is all gone. And if you resist you could get shot with your own gun. No thanks.

In addition to what's mentioned by pawngal, I've seen purses in supermarket carts where I'm the only person in that aisle and it's not mine. Forgot something in the last aisle? Then there's the pile of coats, purses and whatnot on a bed at parties. And the purse stashed in one of the desk drawers-unlocked desk drawers-at work. Purse snatchings can happen at work too, depending upon where one works.

Whilst on the throne, my carry piece goes down the pant leg on the inside of the leg. Instantly available and pointed in a safe direction.

But I'm having a hard time imagining any scenario where the retention system in a Blackhawk holster could lead to a ND.

Please, share any info you may have uncovered about that issue with us all...

This is of course off topic but I've witnessed it twice and watched a video on another one, and read several reports of other occurrences.

1. The SERPA a weak system that fails under hard use, and has a tendency to readily jam from foreign matter such and sand, to a much higher degree than other designs.

2. The placement of the release button and use of the trigger finger that has resulted in many ADs, especially under stress/time constraints. The two I witnessed were by trained LEO, and one was a firearms instructor. At the range I ran I banned them, and subsequently the FBI did as well.

Trigger finger as ONE job, and it's not releasing the pistol from the holster.
