Careful with those bra holsters.

I have 2 questions, first, why would the barrel of the gun, be UP, and according to the article this happened in Jan., why are we just now hearing about this ....

I got one for the GF. I could easily see it happening as described.

I would be wary of any holster that doesn't cover and protect the trigger. Sad story--hopefully at least a teachable example of what to be aware of when carrying.

Anyone smell a lawsuit coming down the road?

That seems like a pretty important feature to have in a holster

Sad story. The only way to be safe is to constantly remember what you're carrying.

I'd like to know what the firearm was. The AD in a Bra Holster seems odd.

My wife just read this story to me this morning, sad. Sadly, accidents are always going to happen, BUT it seems like you have to be fairly negligent to accidentally shoot yourself or something or someone with a modern firearm.

My wife has a flashbang holster for a LCP. The trigger is completely covered.The whole pistol is covered except for the handle below the trigger guard.

Video review of the flashbang. As with all holsters, or weapons in general, if you're new to the game practice, practice, practice. If you're futzing with your holster because it doesn't fit right doing so with a loaded weapon is foolish...regardless of where you're wearing it.

I just did a Google search on bra holsters, they all "looked" as if they covered the trigger.

The holsters cover the trigger. The problem is the usage of the holster. There are so many vids showing the very dangerous wrong way to use this holster that I can no longer find the one with the lady that a shows the proper way to use it.

The gun should be holstered while the holster is OFF BODY, then positioned and snapped into place on the bra. Otherwise, holstering the gun always points at the body.

 

[shibumiseeker]

What Bwframe writes is entirely correct.

I would think it would be nearly impossible with a wheel gun, but then again...
Trees, or washing machines for backstops...? You never know.

Sad story. Hopefully this was a very rare event and doesn't happen again.

Couldn't you just break up with her?

This had to have happened in the small burg my family lives in based on the original hospital. My sister-in-law works there and the one she died at in KZoo. I'm gonna see what she knows. My brother probably knows her as a Navy vet and gun enthusiast. Sad, sad story... 4 rules...4 simple rules.

Lemme guess (before reading the article), striker-fired pistol?
