in one large FB group with 15k+ members, there was a spirited debate about hybrid holsters failing causing NDs. I didn't read the whole thing because reading threads of FB exceeds my tolerance for poor formatting decisions by a fair margin, but several members claim to have experienced it, and one today says it happened to him today. no ND, but he says the holster was fine yesterday and failed today in such a way that when inserting the pistol, the trigger contacts the backing (not the kydex front) that has somehow gotten saggy despite a steel insert to keep it stiff. He claims the holster is 5 years old and he never had a problem with it til today.
a significant portion of the group seem to believe ALL hybrid style holsters WILL fail at some point and we should all immediately cease using them. pretty much how i feel about serpas.
I have had a minotaur for my daily carry since i hung up my milt sparks summer special / 1911 many years ago. i've been looking at this holster for a while and for the life of me can't figure out what danger others are seeing. granted, my holster is quite a bit different than some of the models they discussed. it doesn't have a steel backing, and in fact, has soft leather center with stiff leather around the sides.
nevertheless, pretty much the only thing that scares me about guns is reholstering IWB and i'm pretty dang careful about it.
are these things ticking time bombs? anyone familiar with these debates? have pictures of one that failed? personal experience?
