ad blocker and they want me to turn it off. Ain't gonna happen. I infer from WB's post that the instructor was using a cross draw with a Glock or other striker fired weapon and shot himself in the femoral artery. I read several years ago of an LEO that shot himself in the side when he inserted his Glock into his holster. Apparently the holster was leather and over time had started to collapse. The leather flap caught in the trigger and depressed it disengaging the safety and allowing the weapon to fire. Fortunately he got out with only being wounded in the side and outside leg. He was still alive to give testimony to checking your carry holster from time to time to see if it needs to be replaced.
