    You can't blame the gun, or the holster. When putting a gun into a kydex holster, you should hear a click when it hits retention, the audio gave no click. His undershirt got into the hoster and pressed the trigger.

    Ouch! Really, if everyone can at least agree that guns should "always be pointed in a safe direction", then pretty much by definition appendix carry is a bad idea, no matter what kind of gun it is.

    It's a failure mode that would not have happened with a manual safety or (likely) a decocked DA/SA gun, probably wouldn't have happened without being in the AWIB position, and it's a wound that wouldn't have happened in that location if he weren't carrying AIWB.

    So...yeah, I do blame the gun and the holster on top of failing to pay attention. It is a gun and a carry mode that lacks failure tolerance.

    Yeah that's exactly what I thought was he had to have gotten his shirt in there. The Holster nor gun failed most likely.
    People need to stop trying to be babies when they reholster. Yank that shirt up and get the gun in there.

    Oh please. It's the dumbass' fault carrying, not the gun or method. Been appendix carrying for years with a proper holster and I still have don't have any extra holes in me.

    I've seen a LOT of people made lazy by manual safeties. Wave the gun around, but it's OKAY, cause the SAFETY is on.
    So, tell me again how it's the gun and the carry mode.

    Idiots are going to be idiots.

    AIWB for the last 21 years. My current set-ups for my Gen 5 19 and my 17m with TLR1. Yes, I AIWB my 17m and it is not uncomfortable at all.

    Is there a round in the chamber? I can do it without violating your stipulations. :)
