I am conducting the typical (and maniacal) search for a decent holster - and I haven't made a decision yet. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it does have to be some form of OWB (shoulder rig, belt, paddle, whatever). At the same time, I'm considering advanced pistol training, and that's what causes me to ask this question.

I've run across two advanced pistol training web sites that say "absolutely NO Blackhawk holsters allowed". Curious, I sent an email to one of the companies asking why. He responded that the holster is dangerous, specifically:

"I used one early on, and I found it to be too slow in an emergency - that button gets tiny under duress and it is nearly impossible to press if you are not in the perfect position above that button. Plus, I have heard several reports of people shooting themselves as a result of their index fingers slipping in to the trigger guard as they draw the weapon. A good friend of mine just had it happen to him, during a match with dozens of witnesses, here in San Antonio, TX. Luckily it was a 9mm ball round and it went through his thigh and calf with no major damage."

I would call that a tangible reason. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Isn't "slipping into the trigger guard" possible with *any* holster?
