SAFETY WARNING! Worn Leather Holsters Can Cause Accidental Discharges!
“What the hell was that?!?” she said. It took me a half a second to realize that my gun had just gone off…on my hip…in its holster. My wife and I had just finished breakfast at our favorite café and got into the car.
Me being the passenger, I rotated my torso to the left to fasten my seatbelt like I always do. When I straightened again, my Glock 19 discharged, blowing a 9mm hole through my pants, underwear, the leather seat and bottom of the car’s door frame.
The bullet nicked my hip, but the wound is nothing a bandage couldn’t cover. So what went wrong? Guns never go “Bang” all by themselves

This is one of the reasons that I have transitioned away from the traditional style leather Holster, and have gone to a Kydex style holster for Concealed Carry.
there is nothing wrong with a leather holster. but it should be maintained, which includes replacing it before it reaches the point of the holster shown in the article.
