The thumb break strap does depress the grip safety on the XD. However, the gun still won't fire until the trigger is pulled which can't be done until the gun clears the holster by which time your hand will have depressed the grip safety. Even then, the shooter shouldn't have his finger inside the trigger guard until he is ready to shoot. Therefore, I don't this design a detriment to shooter safety. A number of my other holsters for my full size XD's also have thumb break straps that depress the grip safety. I guess you will have to judge for your self whether of not you can trust this design.

Sure.. this is the only thing wrong with this bundle. Basically you have to completely disassemble the gun to attach the stock(which is not mentioned at all in the description) There is a YouTube video that clearly shows how to properly open the gun and close it again. Just search " how to disassemble tippman Carver one " to find it.. Pay close attention to the position to the string and pins for the trigger. If placed in the wrong spots you can break them and they're very hard to find replacements. The YouTube video will inform you with everything you need to know to take the gun apart better then me writing a huge step by step response. If you have any other question please let me know..

I have only used the holster without a tac light, and the fit is tight. You may want to purchase a can of Galco Draw EZ which I have read makes it easier to draw the gun after you have released the thumb break. I have not used it myself, and would be hesitant to use it on a tension holster.

After the holster is properly broken in, it is just a little loose. The pistol will be held ok by friction fit, from one side of the holster to the other (belt side next to body to outside away from body), but will have some play in it vertically, i.e. you can rock the pistol from the front of the holster to back of the holster. This holster is really dedicated to having the light mounted on the pistol.

ThSe problem is, the "pin" that slides inside the barrel of the gun, is set at such an extreme angle, even with two hands, I can't force any of my semi-autos, over the pin. It racks the slide, if you don't push down, on the slide, but there is no way, I can have the it mounted on my belt, then slide the gun on the pin. Even with my Ruger SR38, it takes 2 hands... Then I can't "draw it" without my second hand, holding down my belt. My opinion: "great idea, but the pin angle is too extreme.

It does take some time to brake in the holster but once it is broken in the gun withdraws nicely. I have heard that you can use wax paper to help make the gun withdraw easier but I just waited until it broke in naturally.

This pistol has a safety selector switch on the right side just above the trigger assembly. With the safety on the trigger becomes non-operative.

In theory, you press on it, and it unlocks the lip (after you have used the key to actually release the bolt on the upper part) - so it's not a thumb lock, just a hold/release mechanism rather than a handle. Having said that, you should be aware that 2 of the units I purchased were faulty and other reviewers are having the same issue. I replaced mine with Kwikset Tavaris Single Cylinder Handleset w/Vedani Lever which is actually nicer looking and has worked perfectly since I installed it 7 months ago.

Yer welcome. As I say in the review, one of the best aspects is that there's no training penalty because operation is very ergonomically natural. After you install the grip, if you extend your trigger finger and index the 1911 field strip button, it blocks the laser, which is momentarily disconcerting as you think, "Where's the bright halo dot?" But that's easy to train around. Good luck and be safe!

Even the Hogue jr. Is going to cover the grip safety on the Springfield. It will keep it depressed, which defeats the purpose of the grip safety, but it will fit the XDM and XDS

Hi James, Well I stopped using it a while back. It's now in my drawer of old holsters and such. On the photo you see 2 stripes. Those stripes are a cross between velcro and sticky rubber and that is what holds it between the mattress and box springs. Drawing, yep, that's why it's in the drawer. I don't think it was necessarily the fault of the holster. My mattress would move relative to the box springs resulting in the grip being forced against the mattress making it difficult to draw. The quality of the holster is fine. It's the function that fails me. Dale

Probably for liability purposes. I have purchased many different holsters and usually the manufacturer states the same thing. I also carry with one in the chamber. I don't want to take another second or so in a life or death situation. Safety does come first though. Know your firearm's operation to safely carry in a locked, cocked and ready to rock mode. Hope I am helpful. Be safe. Btw. I like this setup and you can't beat the price

This trigger guard can only be used on an AR15I've never heard nor seen this guard on a handgun. I truly hope I helped you Safety First!

first off, this is not a "finesse" tool. The trigger is basically on/off. It runs full power counterclockwise, which loosens fasteners. there are 3 power settings for clockwise(tighten). You can get some additional control by short stroking the trigger(small bursts of on-time), and loosening your grip(let the gun climb counter clockwise). You can and should use "torque sticks" when tightening fasteners such as lug nuts.

It's a gas blow back. Of course it's semi auto. It should function like the real deal, you need to cock it once before firing, but it'll be completely semi-automatic once you do so. That is, assuming you have a full clip in it. Otherwise, if the clip is empty the slide will lock. Just like a real pistol.

Couldn't you just use a Glock punch tool? Seems to me like pressing on the nub should enable you to move it off.
