Stay away from leather and nylon IWB holsters: When Bad Holsters Turn Worse: This Guy Took One Right In The A$$, Here’s Why A Proper Holster Is Essential.
Good article but, lemmie get this straight; his shirttail got in the way and got hooked on the trigger as he holstered his gun, right? So that as he bent forward to sit down in his car, the forward bending pulled up on the shirttail, which in turned pulled back on the trigger resulting in the neglegent discharge, correct? If that's the case, whether it was a specifically molded shell or a one-size-fits-most holster, anybody would run into the risk of getting something caught and pulled into the holster if they holstered the gun last, after they are wearing th holster. Especially if you got one of them jackets with the draw-strings on the bottom. Even tho my little Ruger is not the Pro model that just relys on the trigger safety(which possibly could've prevented him from getting another couple holes in his ass), my gun is always in the holster first, then I slip the holster hooks over my waistband, button and zip my pants and then put my belt on, all in that particular order, for that very reason.
The bigger issue is that nylon and leather IWB holsters collapse when there is no firearm in it, thus making the process of holstering rather complicated and error prone. The article mentions shirt bunching as a guess as the person had no idea what actually happened.
That's why modern firearms instructors teach holstering with soft IWB holsters the same way they teach holstering with pocket holsters: take the holster out, put the firearm in the holster, and then put the firearm with the holster back in.
