That's an example of shitty firearm design but that's a discussion for another time.Both examples have nothing to do with manner of carry and everything to do with the shooter's negligence.

I prefer to minimize the odds of a "whoops" putting a hole in me, or anyone under my supervision at a match.
If Ken Hackathorn, who has trained all over the world for nearly a half centrury and whose training I’ve participated in, thinks it's a bad idea I'll go with his experience, along with my own observations over some stranger on the internet.

True, but I think the point being made is that nobody is perfect, and some carry modes are more forgiving of human frailty than others.
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.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?
It's not about keeping things out of the guard.What handgun safety mechanism keeps a shirt or an untrained finger out of the trigger guard?

The gray matter between your ears. Seems some people can't grasp that concept.
That wasn’t what you said.
You said “those are examples of shitty firearm design” and now you’ve come full circle to agree with me saying design has nothing to do with it, and it’s the shooter.
Do you even know what argument you’re trying to make?
He didn't say that, I did. You're confusing the two of usThat wasn’t what you said.

You wanna fight so bad that you can't even keep track of who you're arguing with? LMMFAO!
About two weeks ago we were running about 75 shooters in an IDPA match. A guy had just loaded and was holstering a "hot" gun at the beginning of a stage (as instructed by the SO) and the gun went off. The SO was watching when it happened and was pretty sure the shooter's shirt got caught in the trigger guard and when he pushed the pistol into the holster it went off. Fortunately it was outside the waistband at three o'clock and the round hit the ground.
