Sig P229 + Drawstring = OUCH

[Sureshot129]

The gun came out for a reason you can take you time putting it back in the holster.

Anything that gets in the trigger guard and activates the trigger can cause the gun to go off. And yes mechanical safeties can and do fail so take your damn time and be careful when you reholster!

Any item you are using as a cover garment should have those drawstrings removed ahead of time. I'm constantly coming after students with my spyderco during the cooler months.

Thumb riding the safety on a SA gun 100% prevents this

Right up until you go to draw again, swipe the safety off and the tension from the elastic cord puts a round through your leg. Just cut the things off and avoid the problem.

Thumb on the hammer on a DA gun 100% prevents this

Right up until you don't notice, go to take off your jacket and the pull cord puts a round through your leg. Just cut the things off and avoid the problem.

Don't rely on devices for safety, rely on your brain.

I completely agree w eliminating things that can snag the trigger, but who takes the safety off w the gun in the holster? And on a DA gun if something is where it can pull the trigger when you holster, you won't be able to push hard enough to holster if you are pressing on the hammer. It's good to keep the holster clear, but you gotta be smart about how you holster, too.

If it gets into the trigger guard when you holster, it will be there when you unholster. You will not notice the elastic strap until it is too late.

One could consider the relative difficulty of doing this with a cocked and locked 1911.

You amuse me...

I am surprised no one has shoved that Spyderco up your Posterior...

 

[Excalibur]

Every time I buy a vest or a sweat shirt, hoodie, I have to make sure the draw string will not get in the way of my gun or I cut it off

We don't condone such violence.

Thanks for throwing 1911's higher in my WTB list (again) Jet_Girl. I may be done having kids, but I don't want a reholstering incident to be the seal of the deal in that part of my life.

EDIT: Or an M&P Shield would be nice again - I did good with that safety! =D. Either way, I'm glad I got rid of my non-safety handguns, which is/was all of them
