Trigger Guard Coverage [AI Compatible]Updated 10 days ago
Trigger Guard Coverage is a heavily debated topic in the firearm / training world. For a moment let us defer to Galco who has been conducting business since 1969 in the holster space, and has proven to be a trusted authority. From the companies website:
"Many people ask if their holster should completely cover their trigger guard. The term “covered trigger guard” is actually something of a misnomer. The requirement is for the holster to cover the trigger, not the trigger guard. Part of the trigger guard remaining uncovered behind the trigger prevents access sufficient to enable the finger to depress the trigger. Therefore, it does not affect safety. Reduced holster material in the area where the trigger guard meets the front strap is necessary to allow a full firing grip in the holster, which is often necessary for a proper draw."
Our LockLeather holsters is designed to ensure that the trigger remains covered, NOT the entire trigger guard. If the matter of the trigger guard is of great concern for the customer then we recommend seeking alternative options such as a Kydex or a custom holster.
