I have a cheap pocket holster made of this material.

It's history...  Going back to kydex or use my leather molded OWB!

I've only used holsters like that for transportation, off body, to protect the gun and, more importantly, the trigger. 

OUCH! 

Reminds me of Forrest Gump... ;D

A good holster is worth every penny.

Crap. That's not a holster issue.
 It's a"tucked his shirt into the triggerguard issue.

Tom hit the nail on the head!

Operator error!

If he had paid attention to the task it would not have happened, and a top quality holster would not have changed a thing.

Possible and probable...as the guy was guessing as to how it happened.


FTA:

Quote
“I holstered the firearm in the new holster at home and made sure it was secure and comfortable, and then drove three miles over to our storage facility. I spent 10 minutes in the storage facility, just climbing around stuff and going through boxes. When I left, I walked outside and opened the car door. I went to go get in the car and just heard a loud bang,” Matt explained.


------------------------------

As an experienced handler of firearms, Matt got home from the hospital and immediately started inspecting everything. He couldn’t get the striker to drop without pulling the trigger. Everything with the firearm is in 100% working order. He also noted that he’s had the firearm for years and has fired thousands of rounds through it without issue, and has also carried it extensively in the past.

I asked him if anything in the car could have hit the trigger area of the holster, and he informed me that he hadn’t even sat down in the seat before it went off. His (and my) best guess is this: He had a t-shirt tucked in at the time, between the holster and his body. He also had a button down shirt that covered everything up. What likely happened was a ‘bunching’ of the t-shirt that got into the trigger guard of the pistol, and pushed the nylon material inward. This is the theory as to how the trigger was manipulated.


I had an Uncle Mikes holster (the soft ones that feel like velvet) and it was pliable enough that I could pull the trigger through the material.

Told you guys.   That's why I bought the Dallas holster for my M60 revolver.
