[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1929092, member: 24428"] In the video.. 1. He was fast drawing. 2. He switched between 2 different styles of firearms. One with a external safety & one without. 3. He switched styles of holsters with safety latches on opposite sides. 4. He covered himself as he drew 5. He drew & cleared his weapon quiet a bit higher than most people. In slow motion, it looked like the end of his barrel was a good 5-6" above the holster before it went off and he still hadn't started to point it at his target. When I draw, I start pointing my weapon at the target just as soon as the tip of the barrel clears the holster... and I don't cover myself. The fact that he had re-enforced his muscle memory by repetative practice with his Glock earlier in the day using a holster with a thumb activated safety, then switched over to a holster & weapon that functioned completely different later in the day was the only reason he shot himself. His shooting himself had nothing to do with the Serpa II holster's design. Simply not using a Serpa II holster won't fix stupid on the operator's part. ****As for dirt or lint jamming the latch safety mechanism. It appears to me that Blackhawk has changed the design of their holster to alleviate that concern.. as looking inside my holster... the space is open so that debris like grit & lint shouldn't be able to build-up behind the finger activated latch.
