Out of battery Holster?

[LAC_MD]

Has any seen a holster that when a weapon is inside of it the gun is actually out of battery?

Mine is so tight that when putting the gun it pushes the slide back a little. I just push it back no problem

Thumb on the backplate when holstering helps

 

[swinokur]

Yes indeed that’s one way to fix it

Would it go back into battery when unholstered? If so why would it matter? IDK

yes.

With the M1911's safety engaged on the slide, it can't go out of battery

Did you soften the holster if it is made of leather?



Also hold your thumb on the back plate of the side when putting the pistol into the holster.

NO! Does the OP actually want a holster that keeps the firearm out of battery?? WTF

Is my reading comprehension bad or did the OP not explain his issue correctly? Dunno.

If the OP has a problem with the firearm going OUT of battery when he holsters it THEN maybe he should break in his holster properly.

Maybe it's not a bug but a feature!

I have no problem I was wondering if they do it as a intentional safety feature..

I understand now. Thanks. I'm not aware that it's intentional. Shouldn't be.

no.

break in your holster.

Just pray you have no ND while holstering with you thumb on the back plate(and I do the same thing). There goes your thumb!

assuming the chamber is closed, shouldn't be that big of a deal? recoil springs are what, 15 +/- pounds?

Nope .

Occasionally it happens inadvertently due to overgenrrous fit list , defect , not yet broken in , etc .

But if so ; it's definitely a Fault ; not a Feature.

It would certainly be a bad day for your thumb . Injure it , but not remove it .

This would be asking for a failure. A slide should be allowed to close with some force. If a pistol is riding out of battery by, what? a sixteenth? an eighth inch? day in, day out, Murphy says someday a bit of debris will find it's way where it doesn't belong and prevent the slide returning to battery.

This sounds to me like a variation on, "Loaded chamber carry makes me uncomfortable."

For sure. That would be one jammed puppy there.

How else would that happen?
