the root of this ND was in mixing up his holster systems.
Actually, the root of the problem was having a "holster system". Leave the plastic holsters with the quick release buttons and other gadgets to the mall ninjas.

The video does not support his claim. The draw is smooth, the gun didn't hesitate. He pulled the gun several inches clear of the holster, then pulled the trigger way too early. Listen carefully to the audio, you can even hear the safety being clicked OFF as he smoothly pulls the gun upward 6 inches to clear the 5" barrel from the holster. Then he pulled the trigger.He said that the weapon hesitated to release from the holster and he pushed harder with his finger and pulled a bit harder so it would come out.
Seriously? You don't see any way that a rigid holster with an automatic retention system could possibly be an improvement over dead cow?Actually, the root of the problem was having a "holster system". Leave the plastic holsters with the quick release buttons and other gadgets to the mall ninjas.
This is a cop-out. The SERPA is crap, not because it's plastic (I own plastic holsters exclusively), nor because it has a retention lock (I use a retention holster for some 3-gun matches.) The SERPA is crap because the design of the lock almost guarantees an ND if you maintain pressure on the release button through the drawstroke.Funny how many people want to bash Serpa holsters as "plastic gadgets". Just because it's not a traditional design or material doesn't mean that it's crap.

What exactly is a hyena dirt shooter?
+1. Where the button is located is the same place on the slide where I rest my trigger finger. Push button. Draw. Finger goes to side of slide. This is something that I'd hope anyone with half a brain would have verified for themselves before using the holster. If the button were located over the trigger guard, the company would be bankrupt, already.I have practiced with a SERPA and Glock 21 over and over. My index finger does not ever end up on the trigger! One has to move their finger down towards the trigger after pushing the release button, at least on my Glock/SERPA combination.
It fired when his finger went on the trigger. Period. All guns fire if you pull the trigger.
Exactly. 4.0# minimum, and 4.5# is better. Adrenaline is a bear. Light target triggers have no business on a defensive firearm.Your CCW trigger should be heavy enough so that you have to intentionally squeeze it to fire it.
That way, you have some margin of error if things go wrong on a draw, as they did here.
A.K.A. - "suicide-gun with holster or suicide-holster with gun?"How's this for an inherently dangerous design? It's a Spanish Ruby .32, and to release the pistol from the holster, one must depress the metal tab within the triggerguard!
I was recently pondering helping a family member decide how to lighten the trigger pull on a 1911. The OEM trigger feels like it will take forever to go off and you feel as though you are pulling harder and harder, before it will fire!Exactly. 4.0# minimum, and 4.5# is better. Adrenaline is a bear. Light target triggers have no business on a defensive firearm.
The original 1911 hammer had some positive angle on the sear engagement for added safety. (Even more so on a CZ 75) Can't say the same for some trigger jobs.
There are play triggers, and serious triggers.
The operator made the wrong choices.
True, but from the video freeze-frames I looked at he just nudged that trigger and it went BANG. To me it looked like a very light trigger. I didn't see his hand grip the pistol with his finger in the guard, squeezing
If your theory is correct, then he's one heck of a fine actor, you've got to give him that. Good special effects, too.anyone think this may be a fake? why no swelling? no wound drainage? no limp? exit wound = to entrance wound? then the guys does a video about spear throwing the next day? No shock wave injury...just 2 clean holes? no humility?
grebner is no angel on YT and is a known troll, and part of a so called "hyena pack" that likes to harass people on YT. could be wrong, but something dont smell right.
