I dont know what trigger is in my plastic gun, and I try to pay attention (look) when holstering, but cant always see. I already hold my thumb on the back of the slide to keep the slide from moving as I reholster, so it wouldnt be much change for me.
I was pretty skeptical when I first saw this discussed, but as I continued to read about it, I couldnt see the downside. Its very simple, would fail, if it did, with the gun functional as usual. If anyone doesnt want one, great, I see no reason to make them, or denigrate their choice. I also see no need to denigrate people that choose to try it and utilize a simple device that can save some grief. I will get one a bit later, when I can afford to. So far, I havent seen a cogent discussion that leads me to believe it will actually be a problem, and has potential safety utility. It seems to have been fairly well tested over I think 4 years by a couple dozen people with a fairly impressive number of rounds run through the guns. Craig Douglas (Southnarc) has used two guns in his ECQC training and hasnt had any trouble with them that he can tell in about 500 training encounters rolling around in the dirt etc.
If for some reason they mysteriously crater somewhere down the line, oh well. At this point, they seem pretty straightforward, simple, and functional for that one small moment of time that can rarely, but does in fact occasionally happen. Even to people that arent dipsticks.
You push on it when reholstering, the gun cant fire if the trigger gets something snagged in it. End of story. Nothing else to remember, it doesnt require being taken off or deactivated for the gun to work, its passive in that sense. Gun still works as intended for all other use. Nothing to get worked up about, nobody has to change their religion, accept marrying aliens from Mars, eat bugs, or anything else.
Personally I would prefer the gadget actually stay on 'safe' till your thumb, on the draw, depresses it back flat.
That way, if anyone snatched the gun they would likely be very unfamiliar with the gadget, giving one time to fight back.
Interesting point. I think it was considered, but in the end was figured to keep it as simple as possible, and not change the basic function of the gun.
There was a longish discussion of it on P-F.
