    Is this adequate trigger coverage for a ccw holster?

    I'm curious to get everyone's feedback on a couple of holsters I received from Hidden Hybrid Holsters. Should there be a gap in the trigger area on the inside of the holster? The outside trigger area is completely covered.

    Shouldn’t be there, at least for the top picture. The bottom one is pushing it a bit.

    Are these molded to those guns? Or are they “universal”?

      Both are molded specifically to each gun. I must say, I'm not happy with the trigger gap on either especially considering each was $100.

          I would be returning those especially for $100 each. Amazon has better holsters. That's no Bueno at all.

          Did you email customer service? I'd be interested to hear what they say.

            I haven't contacted the company yet but I will. I wanted to get a feel for if I had a valid concern. Based on the feedback so far, I do.

              It's not a holster I'd be comfortable with. We're talking struck by lightning chances of it being an issue, but when there are solutions that don't present that possibility vs one that does, why bother?

              I did a quick googling and they have had this issue 'addressed'



              I don't think the mag release argument works in your specific application though.

              The break in issue with leather and potentially causing it to curl into the trigger well if longer I think is substantiated.... it's been an issue.

              We've come across potentially lifesaving safety information: a worn leather gun holster can cause accidental discharges. Learn how to protect yourself here.

                  Talk to your IA. Mine (Riverside) won't allow leather holsters. The only exception is for revolvers. Kydex only with positive retention.
                  I overlooked the hybrid part.
                  As far as trigger coverage, I wouldn't be comfortable with the ones you've shown.

                    Here?s the response from the company. What say you?

                    The trigger guard is designed that way. The area behind the trigger may be visible but the trigger cannot be depressed while in the holster. We made it that way for a couple of reasons. The first reason is so that you can have a full grip in the pistol before drawing it out of the holster. The second reason is so that the tension point will be lower. What I mean by this is that, if your shirt did get into the trigger guard, the tension on the trigger would not start until a lower point. This makes it less likely to depress the trigger fully causing an accidental discharge. If the leather were higher the tension on the trigger would be higher and more likely to fully depress the trigger while holstering the pistol. We have found, through our testing, that it is a safer design making it less likely to cause an accidental discharge while holstering. Always holster slowly no matter what holster you may have.

                      Is that their total response or is there an offer to return or discount?

                      I'm a believer of; "if it can happen, chances are it will, sooner or later" regardless of subjects.

                      Good luck on your decision and any further communication with the company, if any.

                        That was their total response to my request for a return.

                          I assumed that was it; thanks for confirming.

                          Thank you.

                            What?s their return policy?

                            Seems like it?s a custom item and they likely don?t want to refund you.

                              I’d have no problem with it.
