Using your trigger finger for pressing anything but a trigger is a misuse... just because you use crap equipment safely doesn't make the equipment safe...

I know right? They also used lead based paint on babies cribs. What a flawed world we live in.

We should all boycott Marlin for their horribly dangerous .22 rifles!

I've used a Serpa for my Glock 19 for years. I've never had my finger land anywhere but along the frame when drawing, even under pressure.
He's an old head and he was leaking pretty good from what I saw. They got a TQ on him quick but the first one wasn't cinched tight enough. There was also a Scott Jedlinsky red dot class and Frank Proctor class being conducted on adjacent ranges. The AI from the Jedlinski (who is an EMT) class came over rendered aid until the ambulance arrived.

I say we disarm police officers and disband all law enforcement agencies. After all, taxation is theft.

I’m sorry. I was being a smart ass. Kotex is just as useless as an improvised belt. Not everyone gets my humor right away.

If quick-clot means kaolin inpregnated gauze (aka combat gauze) yes, 100%
If quick-clot mean the powder stuff NOOO!!! in can cause embolisms that can kill.

I've got an old serpa. I went and dug it out and played with it (unloaded of course). The first several times my finger always came out indexed on the slide like it should be.
When I started playing around with speed, holster angles or body position, it didn't take long to realize the finger can get in the trigger neighborhood rather easily.
The serpa isn't in my EDC attire. Come to think of it, I have more holsters I don't carry with than ones I do.

Heh. The short-wall Serpa was my career fields issue holster for my last six years on Active Duty. 1800 dudes had it strapped to belt/thigh/plate carrier. Had to qualify twice yearly with fast timings and transitions to/from rifle. Plus proficiency shoots, stress shoots, and tactical courses. And combat deployments.
Not a single ND in the career field with that holster. I do grant the design is less tolerant of trigger finger discipline, but I don’t buy that it’s inherently unsafe.
I have also seen some use a technique to manipulate the button with the middle finger, which I do believe to be less safe than with the trigger finger as the movement of the middle finger to the grip does lend itself to more of a chance of getting into trigger guard.
