Safariland ALS for Weapon Mounted Lights Safety Issues

I’ve seen a few posts around the net recently about the Safariland ALS holsters for weapon mounted lights having a safety issue. Most of them are referencing this article about a police officer who’s pistol discharged in his holster when someone’s finger made it into the trigger guard while the pistol was still in the holster.

I’ve owned one of these (Safariland ALS 6378) for a Glock 17 with a WML for a while, and to be honest, I’ve been leery about the big gap around the trigger guard for some time.

I decided to do something a little different today, and I recorded a short video detailing how this could happen.
