That's an example of shitty firearm design but that's a discussion for another time.
Concealed carry holster

And for every expert stranger who is against a certain manner of carry, there’s one for it.
My point is irrefutable.
Interesting point.
What would firearm design have to do with a shirt getting caught in the trigger guard or a shooter with developing muscle memory putting his finger on the trigger at the wrong time?
Absolutely ageee, devil’s advocate says that there’s no forgiving method of carry if it ends with a ND and/or injury.
Gotta be careful and aware no matter how you choose to carry a weapon. Getting complacent because “I’m carrying in a ‘safer’ manner” is a recipe for disaster.
If the safety mechanism on a firearm is meant is to prevent those types of discharges and a t-shirt can cause a discharge that's a faulty design. It's like an airbag that's purpose is to save lives but when it discharges it impales you with deadly metal fragments.
What handgun safety mechanism keeps a shirt or an untrained finger out of the trigger guard?
It's not about keeping things out of the guard.
Crossbreed Supertuck IWB.
For those who complain about the Crossbreed squeaking: use strips of Velcro, the loop side, or soft side, and stick it on the back of the metal clips the go over the belt. So the Velcro is in contact with the leather of the holster. This solves squeaking 100% with no future maintenance.
I've also tried Aliengear and Stealth carry. As others have may have mentioned these holsters, as IWB, by their retention design, require the you "rock" the gun into the mouth of the holster to open up the kydex. I don't like pointing a condition 0 weapon at myself. This is why I'll only carry IWB with a full kydex holster that is fastened to the leather backer. You can't crush the kydex on a Crossbreed, for example, as much as you can on the Stealth and Aliengear. Please be careful if you use those holsters. They are as bad as a leather holsters for IWB carry. Leather in an IWB application is a recipe for disaster...

The gray matter between your ears. Seems some people can't grasp that concept.
I've got a box full of holsters, some more pricey than others... but the one I use most often is a basic leather IWB from High Noon Holsters. I believe it is the 'Upper Cut' model.
I typically clip it on my jeans pocket with the gun inside of my pocket, clip on the outside... and my shirt hangs over the grip of my gun. It's perfect for hiking and other situations where typical IWB would be uncomfortable, and open carry might bring unwanted attention.
It's a very comfortable way to carry and highly concealable with a hoodie or jacket. I like that my firearm is extremely accessible, and I feel like it is a safe way for me to carry.
My carry gun is a Sig P938 SAS, Condition 1 (cocked and locked). I'm used to working a safety after growing up shooting my dad's various 1911s so it is second nature for me. I shoot my Sig quite a lot and it has been extremely reliable... I most definitely trust it with my life.

That sad feeling when you live in a state where you can’t legally carry, and don’t want to bother with possible risk of still choosing to carry.

You wanna fight so bad that you can't even keep track of who you're arguing with? LMMFAO!
He didn't say that, I did. You're confusing the two of us
I’m not fighting, I’m trying to figure out what the hell argument the other guy is making.

This almost happened to me at a match that turned into qualification drills. Kent Mote was running the drills and pointed out what was about to happen.
This was with a serpa duty holster and a Glock 19.
Serpa holsters are unsafe and not allowed by several instructors I use.
That being said, anyone in a rush to holster their weapon is a fool. If the threat has ended why is one In a hurry to holster? Take your time and make sure your shirt, etc. Is out of the way.

I told my friends on a local gun forum that we were over here arguing about guns and gear on a car forum. I'm going back over there and argue with them about cars.
