Frequently Asked Questions

How can shirt fabric cause an accidental discharge when re-holstering a firearm?

Shirt fabric can get caught in the trigger guard during re-holstering. If the fabric is thick enough or positioned correctly, it can depress the trigger safety and the actual trigger, leading to an unintended firing of the weapon.

What is the primary safety concern with 'blousing' a shirt when carrying concealed?

'Blousing' a shirt creates excess fabric that can easily interfere with the holster during re-holstering. This excess material can get caught in the trigger guard, posing a significant risk of an accidental discharge.

What is the recommended technique for safe re-holstering?

The recommended technique involves ensuring your shirt is properly tucked, visually confirming the holster is clear of obstructions, and deliberately guiding the firearm into the holster, paying close attention to the trigger guard area.

Why is prioritizing safety over looking 'cool' important for concealed carriers?

Prioritizing safety over aesthetics is crucial because actions like leaving a shirt untucked or 'bloused' can directly lead to dangerous situations, such as accidental discharges, which can cause severe injury or death.
