Here is the story:

I always thought these holsters looked like a bad idea... but mainly because they looked uncomfortable, and like the pistol would be difficult to get to / deploy quickly.

What I don't get... if it was a revolver, and it was in the holster, how did the cylinder rotate to fire the round? I though these things were the rigid plastic/kydex style holsters? Should have been impossible to fire a revolver if that was the case (unless it was already cocked, like single action style, before being holstered, but why would anybody do that?)

Very old news.

IF it was a Double Action revolver, AND was uncocked, then she pulled the trigger. DA revolvers dont fire unless the trigger is pulled.

My guess is she had her finger in the trigger guard as she was holster in her weapon....

Article does not say the gun fired in the holster, she may have been wrestling the holster location/setup, taking gun in and out.

Should have just taken the gun out, unloaded it, and then adjusted the holster.

Broke the rule of gun safety...........pointing at something she did not intend to shoot.

If not mechanically minded, I could see her getting it messed up, gun in and out several times and screwing up.

Watching men buy holsters for the belt is about as crazy. And many come in, w loaded gun. Its beyond stupid.

This is a shame to hear. There as several videos on youtube of women using the "Flash Bang Holster" and she was doing some impressive drawing times. Several, over and over. I wouldn't blame the holster however, people kill themselves chewing food so...
