[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 780050, member: 385"] Back in the Dark Ages of holster design, most every semi-auto holster had an exposed trigger. The retention strap ran over the back of the slide in most cases. Back then everyone knew that "auto's" were safe to carry only if the chamber was empty (sarcasm mode). I can remember the trouble I had finding a factory holster in 1977 with a covered trigger guard. I needed the feature to go shoot the new game of IPSC. Fast forward a couple decades and every modern auto holster has a covered trigger guard. We almost universally have concluded that it is safe to carry a semi with a round chambered in such a holster. I'd personally rather have the trigger guard covered feature on a double action revolver holster vs. the thumb break/open trigger option. The SERPA DA revo holster has both the covered TG and retention; other modern designs accomplish the same. If the individual is willing to train to suitable proficiency with the thumb break/open TG holster for DA revo, then they're okay. Nothing wrong with a closed TG/open top or even thumb break, provided training goes along with the choice. [/QUOTE]
