@Mr. Morningstar Someone who trains with one of these devices is very likely to continue with that habit on any striker fired pistol. If there is an accidental discharge, what do you think will happen to their thumb? There should never be a reason to put part of your body in the way of moving parts of your firearm, it's just asking for injuries.

[@ricksorber8343]

kingkowboys how does it work? Does it actually block or disconnect the trigger? Or does it press against your thumb to tell you the trigger is moving?

[@kingkowboys]

Rick Sorber It is essentially a hinged slide plate with a small arm that rides the back of your striker. The back plate will then swing rearward like a doggy door as the trigger is pulled and the striker moves rearward prior to release. It’s totally passive and does nothing but move until you apply counter pressure with your thumb against the slide plate. Is the trigger is pulled you will feel the pressure in your thumb. If you apply moderate pressure with your thumb it will not allow the striker and trigger to move. It works great for reholstering. If the trigger is being pressed you’ll feel it and can stop it.

@@dsbiddle lol wow ignoring the fact that this was clearly a joke that shouldn't be taken too seriously. And that I actually do like them and was giving them a deserved hard time, it doesn't change the fact that he does indeed do stupid no look speed reholsters, especially when its from concealment. And when he is clearly influencing other shooters to do the same, it is pretty dangerous and most of the community is probably in disagreement with him on that. But I guess I'm not elite level so I should also slam my gun into my appendix rig too.

[@dsbiddle]

Ben - I understood it was a joke. I was merely adding context. But jokes are never completely a joke. A brand new driver might come to a four way stop and check each traffic direction four times before crawling out into traffic. An experienced driver can do a proficient quick scan and confidently pull out into traffic. When I first started carrying appendix, I used to sweep my finger in the holster, then make sure cover garments were pulled far away, and look the pistol into the holster with the gingerness of a bomb technician. I have since tested all different ways a pistol may inadvertently go off when holstering including pulled a T-shirt through the trigger guard, holstering with my finger on the trigger, etc. and without deliberately forcing the trigger to engage, I am confident and don’t feel obligated to look my pistol into the holster every time. I wear particular clothes that don’t have toggles or any such things that can get in the trigger guard. I practice reholstering with my trigger finger off the frame of the gun. I don’t look my pistol into the holster most of the time unless there is a reason to. So if someone feels the need to look their pistol into the holster every time, that is their business and I support them on that. When I look at an elite level shooter like Lucas, I am not going to hold him to the standards of a newb. His firearms safety appears on point, he isn’t flagging other shooters or any such thing. Should Lucas also look his pistol out of the holster every time he draws? Should Lucas look his pistol into the holster because some moron might try to do what he does and hurt himself? If so, maybe Lucas shouldn’t shoot so fast because some moron might injure himself or others trying to shoot that fast without the requisite skills. And one other thing, in the same way that Lucas can draw and fire so quick because he has learned the body positioning, grip, and techniques allowing him to do it, he also has the same skills to smoothly holster his pistol. I don’t think he jams his pistol into the holster. He quickly slides it in. It is smooth and pretty quick just like all his movements. I don’t speed reholster because I have no need to. I can however calmly reholster in appendix without looking it into the holster. And for what it’s worth - I wasn’t angry at you or trying to insult you. I was just pointing out some context.

[@Ben-Dover75]

@@dsbiddle Well you make fair points. I appreciate your explanations. I can agree with you on the idea of not looking while reholstering especially if, as you've mentioned, over time become more comfortable with your own methods of reholstering after testing or practicing. Or if you're using the Striker Control Device or a DA/SA gun or 1911 etc. where you have failsafes in place to prevent the firearm from being discharged. Personally, I reholster in the same fashion as Chris has demonstrated in his previous videos here on Lucky Gunner. And I actually do have a Striker Control Device on my 19 so I do utilize that as well. Like you I also was a lot more gingerly when it came to reholstering when I first started. Now, while I still look into my appendix holster, make sure my firearm doesn't muzzle me up until the point it begins entering the holster, then smoothly and deliberately slide my gun in while keeping my thumb on the SCD, I will say that I am faster at it than before and my check of the holster is a lot quicker based on my past experience as knowing what should or should not be in there. That of course is based on my confidence level increasingly and becoming more comfortable. I still disagree with speed reholstering while carrying concealed, mainly in the context that the scenarios in which you would need to actually speed reholster to concealment are few to nonexistent compared to the dangers associated with doing it constantly like Lucas does. Like I said before I do in general like Lucas especially on his whole 2A stance, and I have purchased some stuff from his company before. If he wants to impulsively and non deliberately reholster from appendix then that's on him. But we are all human, and I know the joke with him is that he's a Terminator or robot who is perfect, but he's not, he's human and can make mistakes just like the rest of us. And when carrying/using deadly weapons designed to kill, it doesn't matter how elite or awesome with firearms youre, one mistake could be very costly. Again, that's on him and we should all do as we wish based on our confidence levels. I think you and I can agree and that. And do not worry I was not offended by you and like I said before, I appreciate your explanations. It's much more than most KZbin commenters haha.

All this about clothing getting in the way, low light conditions, and holster problems are ridiculous. In Afghanistan 99% of our operations were at night, with 60+ pounds of gear on. proper training and quality equipment is the problem, not accidents. Part of carrying Is making sure you wear proper clothing, have a quality holster, a quality belt, and know how your gear is setup. and verifying the condition of that gear when necessary. When you park a car in a garage you dont just floor it in without making sure you can get in, you quickly verify the path is unobstructed and then efficiently park your vehicle.

But I’m unaware that you could physically stop the discharge of the firearm by simply pushing on this indicator. But it will give you a tactile warning if you holster with your thumb on the back. Lucky gunner reviewed the Walter PPS M2 and discussed this feature more in depth if you want further clarity.

[@soulesailor]

@@davidcarroll9581 correct, that is what I was referring to. I suppose if you could manage to halt the travel of the striker then you would be able to halt the trigger travel too but it's not really set up that way. It's great feedback for reholstering though and a very nice safety feature. It's one of the reasons I bought the M2 over the competition.

If you have already placed your finger on the trigger and begun pulling it back part way, the idea that you are being unsafe because you don't have some other sort of safety mechanism for your weapon is nuts. Who the hell wants the trigger being blocked when they are in the process of pulling it back already??? As for holstering the Glock, the need for a striker control device so you can press against the hammer makes about as much sense as installing a hammer spur on a DAO hammerless revolver. If you can't safely reholster either gun without getting the trigger stuck in the process, the fault is all yours, not the gun's. My best friend is a police lieutenant who runs the special ops division of his police department, so they do a lot of practical shooting drills. He has almost twenty-five years experience in law enforcement, always carrying a Glock. I have never once heard him say a thing about there being a significant risk of accidental discharge with this gun. I usually enjoy the videos on this channel, but this is anti-Glock nitpicking. Buy the damn gadget if it makes you feel better, but I won't waste the money for my Glock 22. I prefer to just keep my finger off of the trigger until I'm ready to fire.

I can personally attest to how well these devices work. It took me a total of about 30 seconds to install this on my Glock 19Gen5. I have had zero malfunctions of any kind with my Glock 19 both with or without this device installed. Using a trigger pull gauge to verify, the trigger pull is exactly the same as it was before I installed the striker control device. As someone who has carried and shot a lot of hammer fired guns this device gives me a greater peace of mind when holstering my Glock. I highly recommend it for anyone who carries a Glock and values firearm safety.

[@vincentlangel8555]

The Walther PPS M2 already has this feature built in. If I thumb the striker indicator I cannot complete a trigger pull. It has become a standard part of my holstering procedure as well as indexing and visually clearing the holster.

[@LuckyGunner]

That is one of the reasons I really like the PPS M2, however I've found that it's really difficult to press against the striker indicator hard enough to actually prevent the trigger from moving. On the PPS, I think of it more as an early warning than a way to physically block the trigger/striker. If you were really amped up (like after a shooting or near shooting) I could see it being possible to not feel that striker indicator poking your thumb. It's still a really good feature and I wish more striker fired guns had it, but I don't think it's quite as good as what the SCD does.

HOWEVER, were I ever to do so in the future, I’d absolutely invest in a couple of these “gadgets.” FWIW, in 50+ years of shooting I’ve only seen one negligent discharge that resulted in real harm; it was during reholstering, so I’m a believer in the fact that there is considerable danger during that action (which some individuals assume is inherently simple and safe). A SCD seems like a wise modification to Glocks, especially since (during the last three decades) striker-fired autoloaders seem to have continuously evolved with ever shorter and ever lighter trigger-pull designs.

Back in the jurassic era of the 1970's when I started carrying a gun, the normal practice was to keep your thumb on the hammer when re-holstering a DA gun; whether revolver or auto. That way, you received instant feedback if something went awry when putting the gun away and the trigger started moving the hammer. The glock is a great platform, but won't give you the trigger-movement feedback inherent in a hammer-fired DA gun. I only discovered the tau scd probably 4-5 years ago and put one on each of the different-size glocks I owned; and anymore I won't iwb a glock without an SCD on it.
