Blackhawk Serpa Holster = Negligent Discharge?

[badger2tony]

LEO Shoot self

A LEO shot himself at my range whilst using a borrowed SERPA. Minor as gun shots go, though he was hospitalized.

I bought one for my Beretta clone, not realizing what it was.

After a little practice, back to OpticsPlanet.

Now banned at my range

Got to this rodeo late. Looks like finger was on trigger when gun went off. (frame 0:27)

In fact the gun is designed to go off when pressure is applied by the finger to the trigger.

And it did.

The Serpa is safe provided you do not use the tip of your finger; use the pad and don't curl your finger. That keeps your finger out of the trigger guard on the draw. I've been using them since they first came out. 1911 then XDs. Never had one that used a thumb button thingy. Just the trigger guard latch.
