We are issued the Safariland ALS holsters for the TLR1 lights. Here is a picture of mine. If my finger can reach the trigger, so can a foreign object. His gun never left the holster at the time of the ND. We were all sitting on top of one another during the funeral. This is a very freak accident that really shouldn't condemn the officer nor the holster.

That's a design problem. I'm not buying that this is acceptable. That hardware needs to be reviewed.
No one said it is acceptable. But it wasn't negligent.

There might be some negligence in the manufacture and approval of that holster with improper trigger coverage.
Any info on what got into the holster?
There is no gray area with you. This is the first AD that I've heard of with it in the 8-ish years we've been using weapon mounted lights. And you can **** off if you think the firearms training staff is negligent.
OK, I forgot, about the light .....
I see no other way, to do it .....
Maybe I'm going to attract all kinds of ridicule for even asking, but how likely would this have been with a conventional DA/SA pistol?
Less, but, funny thing is, with traditional DA/SA weapons, less people qualify. I also believe that there were more ND/AD's(although I've not been able to find the references I was looking for) when departments issued traditional DA/SA weapons? I may be wrong on the ND/AD thing, but not the qualifications. Big green Army moved to Berettas, and I had a Company Commander who could not qualify for two years! She could pass, passably with a 1911, but the M9 was too much.Maybe I'm going to attract all kinds of ridicule for even asking, but how likely would this have been with a conventional DA/SA pistol?
if only it was a sig.......... wait what........One word: GLOCK
An accident waiting to happen.
some mofo has gotsta fix the rep round here!Soooooo, according to some here, blaming guns for gun violence is silly but blaming a gun for an ND makes perfect sense.
Makes perfect sense.

Maybe it was just an enthusiastic officer & they only needed a 20 gun salute afterwards? Sorry, too soon.
Like previously mentioned, "sometimes s*** just happens."
