Poor design, has nothing to do with soft leather !
All leather softens in time and gun manufacturers know this happens.
I would sue the company that made that holster ! Then again I never seen a holster get that soft, they are usually made stiff on purpose. That particular holster looks like it was treated with saddle soap or some other leather softener. If it wasn't then it's just poor design and I would be calling my lawyer !You Can Take My Gun When You Pry it From My Dead, Cold, Hand !

Re: Accidental Discharge Caused By Worn Holster
I'm laying blame on whoever designed that holster with such thin and soft leather, and on the person who bought it and didn't have the forethought to recognize such a flaw in design.

Hindsight is 20/20 people, don't get too cocky and think it can't happen to you. That guy is no different than any of us.

That holster was obviously soaped up. and looking at the pictures, it seems it was not a unknown situation by the owner, and could have been avoided, as it is clear that kinking in it was going on long before this happened. take a look at the 6th pic from the left, it was obviously worn that way for a while, leather does not form and mold like that in one use.

Re: Accidental Discharge Caused By Worn Holster
Looking at that I blame the owner. He admits he knew that crease was there. Never carry a gun in a holster that doesn't completely and securely cover the entire trigger. That holster doesn't look like it ever did, let alone after the crease formed. I don't believe in accidental discharges, only negligent ones.
Or, this story is a plant by the Kydex lobby! (too much time in political forum maybe....)

Re: Accidental Discharge Caused By Worn Holster
Yeah, but when you holster and notice that your holster is so beat that it doesn't do its job, don't you, as the owner and responsible gun carrier, question that?
I do that when my tires lose tread or my wiper blades don't work or if I have a cracked windshield. Don't you do the same for your gun equipment?

Re: Accidental Discharge Caused By Worn Holster
Good to see some of my fellow gun owners are like Ambulance chasing lawyers and want to sue. My question is, can you sue yourself for knowing altering a piece of equipment, using it knowing you failed to follow the recommended care, cleaning, and maintainence for said equipment, and then, because of said improper care, usage, and handling, an incident occurs, and you want to sue someone because of your own gross negligence. Hmm, well, I suppose it could work but more than that, I have gained great insight into the personalitys of a few members here whose core values are certainly very very very far from mine. You screw up, you own it. I see others here are fully functioning children and want to sue for their own mistakes. Woohooo, lets keep the wheel turning on the game of blaming everyone else but yourself!!!
