Personally my .02 I dont think anything that doesnt cover the trigger 100% both sides is acceptable. Risks are way too high.

Happy to be here
I agree, those clips just don't make sense.

It's just an Assisted Mexican Carry... should never be done without a decocker or a thumb safety, and then it ain't smart.

I could see *maybe* with a double action revolver. Maybe. But never with a striker fired or cocked/locked.

About minimalist holsters. What many don't consider is that before drawning their gun, they might be involved in a tussle. The fight could start without warning and you could be rolling around on the ground before you get a chance to draw your weapon. Or you might be in a chase or running for cover before drawing your weapon. The point being, does your holster retain your gun adequately during activity? Obviously, the FBI agent's did not.
I think Dave Spaulding used to recommend trying a full backwards room to see if your gun stayed in place.
ETA- Or, you could simply fall down a hill.
Yes, that is the Dread Pirate Roberts.

I even keep my pistol in a holster on the night stand to avoid an accident if I swing my arm that way while sleeping.
Yeah I am not a technaclip fan personally. I think to me the bigger issue is him drinking and carrying. I am glad they correctly cited him for such.
Two thoughts. Any holster is only as safe as the person using it. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire, and everything should be just fine. For working officer’s, the ability to quickly re-holster your weapon can be as important as a quick smooth draw. Many L/E’s don’t have a serious interest in firearm training. To many their service handgun is just another badge of office.
This isn't a holster though. And it allows the trigger to be operated at any time by a finger or anything else. It's unsafe for anybody to use with a round in the chamber and a striker trigger no matter what training you have or even if you keep your finger off the trigger.
An equipment issue and choice issue, not a training one, imo.
Yes i do. I have a p3at i carry like that if im dressed light. It does have a long heavy trigger. You have to pay attention to how you make an adjustment to your pants.... I carry it around the 3-4 oclock position, well behind any pockets. The clips seems practical for something small, slim and light with a long heavy DAO trigger.....such as the LCP or P3AT. Any handgun much larger/heavier or with a light short trigger wouldn't be practical for a clip like that.
