Re: AIWB FAIL!!!!!!
SCARY! It’s interesting that accidents happen just after you’ve been cocky / showing off.
I’ve had my fair share with motorcycles...

Re: AIWB FAIL!!!!!!
Seems the gun is just doing what it was designed to do.
This video has done the rounds with all possible speculated scenarios argued to death.
The damn unsafe Glocks...
Must have hammer, must have external safety, dangerous AF without those...

Re: AIWB FAIL!!!!!!
This is an old video that has been around the block... even on GS.
You get a clump of shirt in the holster with your gun, expect the trigger to be pushed back while holstering, or the clump of shirt to pull the trigger soon as you stand up or move. Its not rocket science.
It has happened with Beretta model 92's, Glocks, SIG's and sure as fuck with 1911's, Hi-Powers and CZ 75's. (The last three all have external "safer than safe" safety levers...)

Re: AIWB FAIL!!!!!!
Why, when not holstering under duress, it takes all of two seconds to make sure your shirt or thondo isn't in the holser.
Glock, CZ, S&W, none are human proof.
I never understood why anyone would want to have to draw, drop a manual safety, and then fire. One step "safer" would be to draw, rack and fire....... but that's just silly
(P.S excused if one carries a 75 or HP with no double action)

Most DAO pistols and all revolvers do not need a manual safety; the pull weight of the trigger and its distance of travel are sufficient to prevent any kind of AD as long as you exercise reasonable care (i.e. keep your finger off the trigger unless intending to fire). The problem with the incident discussed here is found in this quote from the article: “…[I]t’s difficult to divine any useful information over what happened.” I’ll tell you exactly what happened and why. This fellow like many others was carrying a Glock, a brand whose pistols subject its users to high risk for absolutely no reason, for no gain at all. Gaston Glock’s formula for handguns (no manual safety beyond the silly ‘secondary trigger’ combined with a striker rather than a hammer), INVITES accidents. I’m not alone in believing this. [See, for example, GunBlue490 videos concerning this popular but dangerous line of guns.] I wouldn’t give the things houseroom, let alone carry one in any kind of holster anywhere on my person. It’s simply too hazardous for both me and those surrounding me.
