I watched Rob Pincus demonstate that a Glock could be discharged if the shirt were accidently tucked in with the gun. If the shirt was pulleed out first, the trigger would "discharge". We could repeat this on demand.

As you could can with any other gun without a manual safety in any other holster that has enough room to allow a shirt tail to get pulled in with the trigger guard.

There may be a little more openness on the Serpas allowing a shirt tucked into the trigger guard to be pulled out without moving the gun in the holster, but if you've managed to tuck a shirt tail into your trigger guard, you've already got problems.

I've had a few people use them in my classes with no problems. We just make sure their finger stays straight along the frame while drawing, like everyone else. An incident where a student had his shirt get in the triggerguard happened in a class I was in at Gunsite. He was a 15 year Deputy Sheriff from AK. Glock 21, 230 grain Hydra-shok. He ended up with a 10 inch long tunnel in his calf. It was his duty holster (not a Serpa). Those who have taken one of my classes knows what "tuck and sweep" means!

Yep. Thanks for helping commit it to my memory. That I was using an IWB rig made it even more of an issue for me to learn about. Not once have I holstered up since without thinking of it.
