He appears to have been using two separate holsters: A 5.11 Thumb Drive and also a SERPA. Switching holsters would not have caused the discharge if he had been following proper technique with the trigger finger.

I totally agree however if you're going to use a mechanical retention holster I feel like you should choose one make/style and stick to it. Not even for preventing ND's but just for redundancy in training. You don't want to get into a stress situation and have to stop and think, is it my thumb or trigger finger that will get me in the fight. Pick on style and train with it. Using 2 different systems on the same day is just stupid, but not as stupid as shooting yourself in the leg.

Amen, brother, amen.

It would be instinced to grip the gun harder to free it from the holster. I think thats why he curled his trigger finger. I've experienced something like this with a drill motor. The drill bit gets hung up and instead of releasing the drill you tighten your grip to keep it from spinning the motor and twisting your wrist. It only takes a time or to to remember to just let go. But I agree i use the same type holster with all my guns.

Usually we just jump on the chronic word butchers like TAB and FQ who spell ( or not ) while drunk. ;D
Some people drive well while drunk, those 2 probably can't do that either ;D

Aye, boyo, I can "aim" a car with the best of them. Its spelling while sober where I have problems. Yet note the miracle of technology. My new 'puter has a built in spel lcheck. You'll have to make fun of content, not spelling, from here out. ;D

I'm glad he had the video and the explanation of his mistake. I'm really glad he didn't get more severely injured! I'll bet he's glad he didn't hurt anyone else.

Another good reason to pick a system you can handle and stay with it. Switching around may have you doing bad things when you don't want to.

It's something I've learned working in machining over the years, I go through set ups, or a machining process in a step by step fashion, always in the same order, if I do not remember checking something TWICE, I check it.
Every time I deviate from that method it bites me in the azz, I break a tool or make a bad first piece.
Once I'm running, I even put my tools in the same place, every time, If some one speaks to me while I'm working it doesn't mess me up because my hands know where they have to go for the next step, I'm not hunting around for tools or accidentally get caught in the machine.
