Blackhawk Serpa Holster recall, but...

[OKNewshawk]

The Consumer Products Safety Commission has recalled the Blackhawk Serpa T-Series L2C gun holster as it is claimed:

The holster design can change the position of the safety switch on the firearm without the user knowing it. When this occurs, if the trigger is pulled the gun could fire unexpectedly, posing an injury hazard to the user and bystander.

The "but..."?
The holsters affected are ones manufactured for SIG Sauer P250s and P320s. The vast, overwhelming majority of these guns have no safety switch! Yes, the holster also fits the M17 and M18, but with only 3,100 holsters being recalled, I doubt that any significant portion of M17 or M18 owners are using the Serpa holster.

What's a safety switch?

I thought maybe they recalled it because of this dipshit...

I'm sending mine in TOMORROW. This is unacceptable when I carry my Glock.

What's a safety switch?

Not on the holster, On the pistol. An external safety lever?

That's what I'm talking about. What is a switch on a gun?
Sounds like this reporter doesn't own either a holster or a gun.

Yeah, the slo mo showed his finger going to the trigger after the pistol was pulled. It wasn't the holster.

Wait! Your saying if you pull the trigger the gun could unexpectedly go off. I thought that only happened with Hipoints. Oh that is just unsafe.

The guy has evidently practiced his "I just fn shot myself" drills. I thought he did a nice job of flipping the safety back on and placing the naughty naughty firearm on the ground.
