When carrying your pistol, how do you deal with the fact that this product doesn't cover the trigger?

Great question! Over the years, I've just gotten comfortable with carrying it. It's something youre just aware of, while being able to draw quickly if faced with a deadly force situation. It honestly doesn't bother me...

I was planning to purchase a plastic trigger guard. When using the clip I did not chamber a round for safety. I have actually switched to a pocket holster that is an easier draw for me. The clip in my opinion is difficult to draw sometimes requiring my hand or fingers to be in front of the barrel (pushing up on the firearm) to draw depending on my attire. The concept of the clip is good, but after using it a while the safety issue out weighs its use for me so I removed it.

I personally don't keep a chambered round with my LC380 only because of no safety my LC9 is a different story because of safety- just personal preference. I don't believe it would be an issue anyway as the trigger pull on both aren't light- pulling out wouldn't be an issue and i have never had the trigger catch while sitting down. I usually wear small of back or front off center. Hope this helps you

Toward your body. The firearm should be facing your body with the flat face of the holster pressing against the outside of your clothing.

you would have to hold trigger down, once you release trigger it stops firing

I have no idea. There is a plastic insert that can be removed, you could try that but the holster may be too big then unless you can figure out some kind of insert yourself.

You have to slide a switch on the side in order to arm the device. Sliding the switch back down makes it safe for carrying again.

That's a personal decision. I've used these with Glocks, Kahrs, and M&Ps;, I always carried them with one in the pipe. I couldn't conceive a way that something would make its way into the trigger guard. Just practice with it and make sure you keep your finger indexed until the weapon is clear of your clothing.

I leave the stock/receiver end as is, the lube is shielded behind the external surfaces of this section. I put a zip-lock type plastic bag over the barrel, receiver end, to prevent transfer of any lube into the soft material of the case. Cover both ends if your gun is such that both ends could transfer lube to the case.

There is a little black button on the side of the handle just in front of the trigger. Hold the trigger and push in the button. To release, depress the trigger again. Hope this answers the problem.

Bruno I would suggest that You try to find someone or a gun dealer in your area that has the Fobus holster and would allow you to try it out. Preferably this would be at a range where you can see how well it retains your firearm and how easy it is to draw from.

The bottom of the clip is open so you just slid the holster inside the waistband and over your belt. I had to restitch the holsters to fit my pistols. When carrying, it adds an inch to your waist size.

I like the holster. I wear button up shirts and it fits comfortably under my arm. I wouldn't carry anything bigger than a .45. I've asked people I know of course if they can tell I was carrying. None of them could see it.

It has a slightly sticky outer coating to stay in your pocket, while the inside is slick so the gun comes out easily. It works wonderfully that way, but gravity is on your side: Gravity holds the gun down in you pocket until you want it. Loose, in a purse, the holster it might be a problem. If there were a pocket or compartment to hold the gun upright, that might help, but if the purse got tossed in a chair, or on the floor the gun could easily slip out.

It's held up extremely well actually with regular carry over the last year. My issue is simply that with repeated sitting and standing, bending over, getting in and out of the car etc. the gun wants to ride up and off of the yellow post that's holding it in place. I think tension needs to be increased so I don't always feel as if my gun is going to fall out of my pants and the holster. This and this issue alone is the reason I rarely use this holster now. It's a shame too, because I really wanted to like it.

No, the holster is a very tight fight to the gun. There is very little extra space.

tuck in your shirt and wear underwear and that's not really an issue. Also, this is why handguns have tennifer coatings, to avoid rust. If a little sweat is going to break your gun, I certainly wouldn't trust my life to a gun that poorly made. I've done far worse things to my rifles and handguns in training than sweat on them a little.

Steve, That seems odd to me. I have been carrying an airweight revolver in the holster for over a year now and the barrel does not come through. This has been in my jeans every single day and the holster looks brand new. I also have a P238 in the DeSantis holster and while I rarely carry it, the barrel does not stick out. It sounds like you do have the wrong size for the P238 because these are excellent holsters. Did you carry a larger weapon in the holster before?

This holster is excellent and the trigger hole is an excellent design. I initially thought the same thing; not wanting to shoot myself in my hind-quarters. However the specific gun that this is made for has a VERY HEAVY trigger pressure requirement in order to fire it. Also this gun cannot be "cocked" to shoot. The only way to fire this weapon is double-action only and it requires effort to fully cycle the trigger to shoot. This is a great concealment holster and you can easily draw this from the back pocket of your jeans and it looks as harmless as a wallet being taken from your pants. If you ever have an armed mugger tell you to hand over your wallet; the criminal won't know it is a gun you are removing until you either stick it directly in his face or pop a couple rounds into their chest. This is a GOOOOOD holster!!
