    Good one, thank you for posting it. It all boils down to my mantra of 'never assume' was it 'new and 100% functional piece of kit' or 'I know the chamber is empty' or 'it always works!' and my favourite 'it's designed not to fail!'

I stopped and cleared properly only to find that my headphone cable was now in the way because I bent forward to get a better look. It just goes to show that any number of circumstances can present themselves and, I'm stating the obvious here, always always always check and make sure your holster is clear until your firearm comes to rest in its place and you are certain it is secured, then you can look away.

    @DMeek,

    100% Yup, like the phrase goes “There is no medals/ benefits for speed holstering your firearm”. Something like that, you get the gist.
