Re-holstering in Hybrid Kydex IWB?

Is there a safety concern while re-holstering in Hybrid Kydex IWB? I mean, the moth of the holster is squeezed when the handgun is drawn, while re-holstering is there a chance that the kydex edge "touches" the trigger in anyway?

Not unless the trigger is wider than the trigger guard, and possibly the frame. I would be more worried about the top of the leather backing getting into the trigger guard than the hard for fitted kydex.

I would worry more about your finger than any part of a hybrid.

I have a hybrid IWB for my XD and have never had a problem re-holstering it. As with everything else, practice. Take the unloaded gun and use a mirror to practice re-holstering. This way you can see where the holster is and how your arm/body and gun need to be for a clean re-holster. At least this is what I did but when I carry the XD I carry it at more of a 5 o'clock position.

I got my first IWB hybrid holster from hammer40k here on the site. I tried it once with my shorts and was fine, quick draw and can reholster with no issues.
I placed the holster so the PX4SC is at 1-2 PM. I also did not adjust for cant, for now it is straight up.
My wife was like, you are not buying new pants and new shorts, you are losing weight
Now where to store the extra mag? Ah, I have a horizontal mag carrier floating somewhere in the holsters cabinet.
Photos and official review to follow, time permits.
