It appears that the thumb break is going to actuate the safety interlock at the top of the pistol's grip (Springfield XDS). As one picture doesn't help, can anyone please clarify this for me? I would much prefer to buy a USA made product, but not at...

The thumb break strap does depress the grip safety on the XD. However, the gun still won't fire until the trigger is pulled which can't be done until the gun clears the holster by which time your hand will have depressed the grip safety. Even then, the shooter shouldn't have his finger inside the trigger guard until he is ready to shoot. Therefore, I don't this design a detriment to shooter safety. A number of my other holsters for my full size XD's also have thumb break straps that depress the grip safety. I guess you will have to judge for your self whether of not you can trust this design.

Couldn't you just use a Glock punch tool? Seems to me like pressing on the nub should enable you to move it off.

It's a cinch to deploy. Retraction I think would be difficult. I've lost all my benchmades so I can't test. To be honest, I've gotten drunk and threw 500 dollars worth of knife away recently. I'm drunk right now, actually. You could do it with me middle finger, I think, but then your palm might be exposed too much. I suggest deploying with your dominant hand and retracting with your weak hand if at all possible.

Hey there, from what you're saying, one of two things has happened. A. You bought the wrong grip for your handgun. I have a Sigg P229 .40 caliber. The grip wraps all the way around without a gap and should not keep the magazine from being inserted. OR B. They sent a bad product and you should return it for the money or ask them to give you the correct product

Hi James, Well I stopped using it a while back. It's now in my drawer of old holsters and such. On the photo you see 2 stripes. Those stripes are a cross between velcro and sticky rubber and that is what holds it between the mattress and box springs. Drawing, yep, that's why it's in the drawer. I don't think it was necessarily the fault of the holster. My mattress would move relative to the box springs resulting in the grip being forced against the mattress making it difficult to draw. The quality of the holster is fine. It's the function that fails me.Dale

Don't know for sure about a thumb safety, but it fits my M&p9c perfectly . Probably best to contact Galco direct. I've found them very helpful

If the is rear is dove tailed on the pistol. But in thinking the front will not work unless it's attached by screws.looks like that are both attached by screws.so what's Ruger say?

The safety on my Springfield 1911 TRP got in the way; I had o buy a modified (trimmed safety). I have not attempted to install the new safety, seems pretty complicated, will probably take it to a gunsmith.

LOL That changes everything when they pull the 'ol "manufacturer-changed the-handgun-design trick. Glad you made it work anyway. I love mine. Bought one for my Glock 23 many years ago and still use it today. Bought my wife a G42 and got her a Fobus too. I almost bought one for my P95 without calling them to make sure and was glad I did. I would have had the wrong one. Good luck brother!

Really it's not a double safety. The tool has a safety trigger and a firing trigger. I don't like this setup. I find myself constantly holding the safety trigger with one finger and activating the firing trigger with another finger, which is very clumsy in practice. The firing trigger only takes slight pressure to fire, causing many unexpected firings for me. I have a smaller pinner without any safety that I use more safely, because I keep my finger off the only trigger until I'm ready to fire. I think that a better setup for Fasco would be to do away with the safety and increase pressure required to activate the trigger. I'm thinking that I'll remove the safety on my Fasco to decrease accidental firings. Safety police can bug off.

After the holster is properly broken in, it is just a little loose. The pistol will be held ok by friction fit, from one side of the holster to the other (belt side next to body to outside away from body), but will have some play in it vertically, i.e. you can rock the pistol from the front of the holster to back of the holster. This holster is really dedicated to having the light mounted on the pistol.

Whether your pieces slide around has everything to do with the G's they are experiencing. Under normal conditions, I haven't noticed any movement with the two Springfield XD's I put in mine.

you push the thumb stud and it flys open since its an assited opener. its light weight u will not notice it. self defense ? is debatable. if u had to yeah. ideally i say no since it had a thin weak liner and has closed on me. there is info on internet about it. many people have no issues. its a good edc blade but thats it

It uses friction by squeezing the forward portions of the trigger guard and frame. Although the fit is quite snug, I never experienced any wear marks on my 92.

This connector simply lightens the trigger pull. So you will still have the half inch "take up" before you hit the break. I installed this on a Glock 19 that i carry, and it along with using some Flitz polish on certain contact points really made a big difference. The closest trigger that you can install on a Glock to shoot like a 1911 would be the Travis Haley "Skimmer" trigger.

the holster fits what it says no xd sub's, no xds models, not trying my xd45 but highly doubt it the thumb release is positioned right over trigger if not exact size of a glock 23 i have in mine or one of those others, thickness too it wont fit tried 5 minutes after got it stays secure just wonder about security of snap if good can unsnap and turn on trl1 at same time but tactically they will see the light so should wait in case any one else thought about it

The spring hits so hard it binds the post , or you have start wearing the plastic connection between where the barrel and stock connect . I don't know how any break barrel could be scope wearthy . The barrel can't go back to 0 . That's like taking a scope on and off every time you shoot .
