Trigger Holster for Mexican Carry

This is a prototype for a holster idea to help protect against accidental discharges when carrying a pistol stuffed into the waistband. This is my blog with more information about it:
http://hiddendefense.blogspot.com

These are the features of my trigger holster:
- Safely covers the trigger guard while the gun is inside the pants
- Adds no bulk to the width of the gun
- Weighs very little
- Pops off once the gun clears the pants allowing access to the trigger
- Adjustable length string (allows for a longer or shorter length depending on if the gun is worn appendix or behind the hip)
- Tension screw allows adjustable tightness
- Can simply stay attached to the gun during storage

question: is carrying in the waistline a good way for the gun to slip down the pant leg, or is the L-shape and general bulk of the pistol sufficient to hold it in place while you move around?

@fibrillatorD In this case, I have a specific grip installed on the gun that has a lip built into it that hooks on the pants so the revolver won't slip down the pants.

@fibrillatorD For revolvers, there is the Hip Grip, such as the one in the video. For autos, there is the clip draw that accomplishes the same task. Kel-Tec offers a belt clip for all of their pocket autos as well. I've carried a Kel-Tec P-11 for years using the belt clip to hold the pistol inside the waistband on the strong side. Although I've never had any problems doing so, a cover for the trigger such as the one above would be a good addition.

Not a bad idea, but when drawing the weapon it just doesn't look smooth.  That fraction of a second may be just what you need.

@chwfinc there is actually nothing derogative or culturally negative about the term 'mexican carry'. It is based on a historical period in the 19th century when the caballeros were forced to give up their guns and had to start hiding them inside their belts from the federales. it was their way of continually staying self-reliant and a signal of defiance against a controlling government.

@chwfinc Blackwater doesn't make holsters. Oakley makes most of their sunglasses in an optional "Asian Fit", does that mean they are only for Asians? No they are made for people with smaller faces.
