Maybe I'm just overly careful?
We should promote this sort of wise gun handling as a "rule" for appendix carry.
Let's just leave it a "practice safe gun handling". Taking my holster off to reholster every time would be pretty annoying during training or matches.
Why would I practice any other way?
Likely not.
Try placing a 2' dowel in the muzzle of your UNLOADED pistol and go through your normal reholstering motion. I'd be willing to bet that dowel will touch your leg at some point.
I'm saying I've never seen anyone draw/holster more than a few times without pointing the muzzle at some part of their body at least part of the time. I will also say that most of them are unaware that they're doing it when they're doing it.
It doesn't take much inward cant of the muzzle when holstering to point it at your hip or thigh when you're holstering at 3:00.
My friend, I have worked very hard to insure my equipment and practice is set up to not point the gun at myself. Been at it a while now...
You've seen me do this?
I have not in my recollection, but I also have not been watching you specifically for it. Unless it's egregious, I don't think that it's a big deal unless someone has their finger on the trigger when they are holstering. There is a reason why it' s specifically not against the rules in USPSA to sweep lower extremities on the draw/reholster: because it's next to impossible for most people to avoid it 100% of the time unless their drawing from a race holster that is forward of their hip.
If you like, I will keep an eye on it. If you're certain, why not try chezuki's idea of the dowel rod and see what happens?

I don't know about a 'rule' ... or maybe just a 'rule' for fat guys who junk carry
... bean poles can maybe keep the muzzle more forward while holstering?-rvb
