Finally had a moment to watch the video. Yep, he does everything right. An interesting and perhaps ironical side note is that the Todd Green that he refers to in the video is in fact the individual who invented and produced the SCD along with Tom Jones. Ernest seems to have held Todd in fairly high regard.

Yep, I was specifically searching for videos of TG's fast drill, because I know alot of people like to run it from AIWB when I came across Langdon vid. I was hoping to find poor technique in holstering AIWB, but came across this video quickly and it was excellent example of looking it into the holster.

Personally, I wouldn't run a striker fired gun AIWB unless it has an active manual safety, which was my first reply to this thread on wanting Glock to offer a manual safety to the commercial market. Even then, I probably wouldn't as I've had 1911's IWB that the safety was disengaged during daily activities.

"Personally, I wouldn't run a striker fired gun AIWB unless it has an active manual safety,"

We certainly agree on that point. I tend to carry at the 3:00 position. That's just my personal preference.

"Even then, I probably wouldn't as I've had 1911's IWB that the safety was disengaged during daily activities."

Yeah, I'd have just a wee bit of trepidation carrying a striker fired weapon pointed at the family jewels. :) Although, I do know folks who do it, and are comfortable with it. They are much braver than I. :)

There is no substitute for training.
If you want one, get it.
Some can read a gauge, some need an engine light.
It is a matter of subjectivity.
If you want a safety, change systems.
Sometimes I think if I could afford it, I'd go back to 1911 Commander lite weight frames for EDC.

I purchased a gen 5 Glock 26 that has one of these striker control devices installed on it, I haven't had any failures of the pistol yet but may still remove and put the stock parts back. The previous owner had also installed Trijicon Hd sights (have since been replaced). And had a slight undercut of the trigger guard,which i feel is the best thing about the gun.

What did you replace Trijicon HD's with?

So, an LEO merely states in a polite and measured manner that modifications are not permitted by the department they work for, and is immediately accused of jackboot thuggery.
Classy.
Go practice your speed re-holster, child. It’s a really important tactical move. You know...so the police don’t think you are a “man with a gun”.

It wasn't polite it was condescending.

Just wondering how many of you guys are using the Striker Control Device from Tau Development Group? I'm pretty sold on the concept and I think there is no reason not to add these. There is no negative effect to the trigger press in any way and it adds an additional layer of safety. This is especially helpful for appendix carry. Check out the review and let me know what you think.

I think it would be much easier, cheaper and less likely to cause gun problems if you just take a half second to make sure you don't accidentally pull the trigger when holstering. If you can't do that, or you are too scared of your gun to rely on that, you shouldn't be carrying a gun.

They're not mutually exclusive propositions. I holster slowly, while looking the gun into the holster. But, I'm human which means I'm fallible, which means it is within the realm of possibility that I could miss something like a piece of clothing. What the SCD does is to allow me to thumb the backplate similarly to when I holster a hammer fired firearm. The fact that I place my thumb on the hammer of a hammer fired firearm when re-holstering in no way implies that I am scared of the gun, or can't "take half a second." It is simply an additional safety measure to ensure I haven't missed something. The SCD allows for a similar function.

Yup! There is no difference in carrying a Glock than a revolver. You still have to pull the trigger to make it go bang. It's called trigger control. If you can't handle that, than get an AirSoft.....

The other thing is if you put that stupid aftermarket thing on your Glock, and it fails to go bang when it should? That is not a Glock problem.

When you holster your revolver, do you place your thumb on the hammer? If so, why?

As far as the gun failing to go bang, thus far there has not been a single documented incident of that happening attributable to the use of an SCD.

I get it that some folks are not a fan of the SCD. If that is the case for you, don't buy one. But, I don't think we need to impugn the firearms abilities of others who do opt for a little extra measure of safety when re-holstering.

Hammer and striker are two entirely different designs. Most mainsprings in hammer fired guns are, especially if they are DA/SA, around 12-15# and sometimes more. Compare that to around 5-6# in a striker, and the hammer is more of a tactile indicator of whether your trigger is moving or not along with the extra force required over a striker to make it move, makes thumbing the hammer more practical.
