I carry either an HK P2000 or when I can't conceal that a Walther PPS M1, both AIWB in Kydex holsters that cover the trigger guard.
Both of mine when not carried are locked up in V-Line vaults, in their holsters condition 1. I simply remove the loaded & holstered gun and slip it into position. I have no qualms about holstering either while loaded though as the P2000 is a hammer gun and the PPS has a DA striker that can be felt as it protrudes from the back of the slide. I just hold my thumb over the back of the slide while re-holstering either.
Before this pair I carried a Walther PPQ. When holstering the PPQ loaded, I just took my time and made sure it was clear of my shirt while holstering. As a past instructor once said; "There's no prize given for re-holstering quickly" and while LEO are often taught to re-holster while not "watching the gun into the holster", odds are I won't be re-holstering till the action is over.
