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 :hurry:

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.
