Members Dwight Posted April 12, 2011 Members Report Posted April 12, 2011 Click here to read http://www.itstactic...tal-discharges/ I getting an LLC or some Insurance after reading this what do you guys think? There is an old quote from an equally old movie: "Stupid is as stupid does". In the first place, . . . he had a Glock, . . . one of the singularly most dangerous firearms ever developed. Secondly, . . . he did not buy a holster, . . . he bought a generic piece of leather goods designed to carry anything the owner deigned to force into it. Thirdly, . . . he did not take care of his firearm or his "holster". I make holsters, . . . not junk like he was carrying, . . . I don't have a "profit" motive that would lure me into making inherently dangerous products. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Lobo Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Interesting situation. The gentleman involved was straightforward in admitting that he continued to use a holster displaying obvious signs of wear and tear in a critical area around the trigger guard. He also indicated that he will be speaking with his insurance company to see about getting the damage to his car repaired. It is possible that his insurance company will attempt to subrogate the claim elsewhere, perhaps on the holster maker or the handgun manufacturer, or both. The gentleman involved does not have to pursue liability claims against the holster maker or the handgun manufacturer; just making a claim on his automobile or homeowners policy could result in a ripple effect. Having one's business activities under a corporate structure provides some protection of personal assets from claims. Having a good insurance policy provides added protection. Worth considering, even for the smaller producers. Good post. Quote Lobo Gun Leather serious equipment for serious business, since 1972 www.lobogunleather.com
Denster Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Interesting post. Is it only me or did anyonw else notice anything suspicious about the photos and the circumstances? Quote
Moderator Art Posted April 12, 2011 Moderator Report Posted April 12, 2011 Like where are the powder burns? If you have ever discharged a firearm in a vehicle, nobody would say what was that, like it was a small pop, it is deafening. Art Interesting post.

Also, the fold in the holster is in an unnatural place and makes no sense. It looks intentional to me. Quote US GUNLEATHER www.usgunleather.com twitter.com/usgunleather facebook.com/USGUNLEATHER
Members JRCHolsters Posted April 12, 2011 Members Report Posted April 12, 2011 I am thinking he is leaving part of the story out. It wouldn't surprise me to find out he left the gun under the seat while getting breakfast and then tried to reinsert it when he got back into the car. That is also a very strange soft spot. It's like he pushed it in continually with the finger rest of the trigger guard, when inserting the gun. Quote J.R. Customs Holsters
Members Spinner Posted April 12, 2011 Members Report Posted April 12, 2011 I'm not a holster maker but it looks to me like what's been said above. The wrinkle looks like it's due to pressing in that area, the leather looks a bit thin (I'm guessing it's single 6-7oz or so?) and I don't know about the rest of you, but if I were holstering a gun and felt it hang up I wouldn't keep trying to force it into the holster. I may be wrong, but wouldn't you feel some resistance before that weak wrinkle was able to push the trigger all the way back to fire? I also find it interesting that he conveniently had a camera and a trajectory prop (chopstick?) handy enough to take CSI style photos moments after this happened. I'm guessing moments due to the fact that the wound is still fresh & oozy. Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com
Denster Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 OK! I feel better now. I guess I'm not just a overly suspicious retired detective. All of the points made are valid and things I noticed. Also that is not what I would expect to see with the damage to the clothing from a grazing bullet passage. Even with the stretching of the leather in the area of the trigger I doubt it is enough to activate a Glock trigger with the gun holstered. Very interesting. Quote
dirtclod Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I wouldn't think a bullet just going through a pair of britches would tear that big of a hole. If it did what isn't the seat tore all to pieces ? Plus i had agree with Art on the noise. They would of had trouble hearing anything for a few minutes. I have been in a car when a rife was was shot across the roof of the car and i couldn't hear till the next day. Something is FISHY here !! Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
