IIRC, the AD's with the Serpa's were upon unholstering. When you depress the release button with your index finger and pull the gun out fast, it's possible for your index finger, with pressure still applied, to land on the trigger. But then I've never been in a gunfight, and hope, if it ever happens, it's not a quick-draw scenario. When holstered, I don't see how the retention notch could touch the trigger, since the rest of the holster is sized to keep the front of the trigger guard from moving forward.
I did see another cool retention holster the other day with the thumb-activated release button. That might be safer. But trigger discipline is always key.
