Striker Control Device

It would be helpful if they showed the device on it's own.
The writer's simplistic description that's just 2 plates with a hinge, like a door, and how often do you see those fail., doesn't hold water for me.
How often does a door deal with the shock of recoil? Just out of hand this is a no for me.

Has anyone seen or used one of these?

I've never understood things like this. Trigger gets pulled, gun goes off. 'Reholster quickly', don't see the need for this.
For ME, I take the holster off, put gun back in, holster back on belt(Desantis Slim Tuk...G42, 48, 17)

Folks who are used to thumbing the hammer of a DA/SA pistol like the ability to do much the same thing with a Glock. Especially if re-holstering AIWB. It can limit the chance of something in or around the holster getting into the trigger guard and pulling the trigger. Ouch!

Some training schools for civilians are emphasizing the need to not get shot when the police arrive & see you holding a gun on the suspect. The training is to reholster your gun before the police arrive, often quickly.

When I first heard of the SCD (on Lucky Gunner), I was leery, despite the very positive review. Then I bought a Glock 43X. Being used for several decades of using pistols with a manual safety, I thought, "This thing is really easy to fire, intentionally or otherwise. I need to double-up on my awareness & not count on a safety to protect me." I noted that Mas Ayoob strongly recommended the SCD on the GlockTalk forum, & published an article on it: .American Handgunner One More Safety Net: "The Gadget" - American Handgunner

With all my prior pistols, I carried AIWB without a concern, because the safety was always on except when ready to fire. I decided that carrying the 43X AIWB was too much of a risk, & a brief experiment confirmed that assessment: I was using my index finger to probe the trigger guard when holstering, to make sure that there were no clothes in the trigger guard. Really, really bad idea!

So, last week I converted & bought one, because I often carry IWB, which means that there is a chance of entangling the trigger in my shirt. It arrived on Monday. I tested it with dry fire to confirm that the SCD didn't interfere with normal functioning. Then I tested it to see if my thumb on the SCD could prevent the gun from firing when I aggressively pulled the trigger, & it could.
