Inspect your leather holster...

He's lucky that gun didn't go off again. That was no accidental discharge. That was a negligent discharge.

An interesting take on the story: http://straightforwardinacrookedworld.blogspot.com/2011/05/glock-galcoholster-accidental-safety.html
I don't have a horse in this race. Just thought it would add another viewpoint.
I'd get rid of a holster that even looked like it could interact with the trigger.

I'm embarrassed :-[..... and gullible.
Thanks Rluening

omaharj - Don't be. I wasn't calling you out on anything. It's just another guy's thoughts on the issue.
I think the story is a bit suspect, but still plausible. Is he covering for a ND? Maybe. In fact, probably. On the other hand, maybe not. I think the link I posted suggests he finds the story very unlikely, but he also admits strange things happen.
Dunno. I mostly carry in leather backed kydex hybrids. But more importantly I try to make sure there's nothing (holster, shirttail, finger, small snake, drawstring, etc) in the trigger guard.

When holstering my PX4 I do my best to make sure there is nothing that might get caught on the trigger. As an added layer of safety, I make sure to watch the hammer as I am sliding it into the holster. If the hammer starts to move, I will know something is amiss. For me, that is one benefit to hammer fired handguns.
