This video reviews the Tau Development Group Striker Control Device (SCD) as a significant upgrade for Glock 19 concealed carry, particularly for appendix holstering. The SCD adds a passive safety layer by allowing users to feel the trigger's rearward movement with their thumb on the slide plate during holstering, providing a tactile warning of potential trigger guard obstructions. This is presented as a crucial enhancement for preventing inadvertent discharges, especially in high-stress situations or when holstering without direct visual confirmation.
