Student injured in Sig Academy "training accident"

Looks like they did everything right _after_ the ND.

EPPING - A civilian student...

Which would be any non-military student.
...at the Sig Sauer Academy accidentally shot himself in the leg Wednesday night.

Police said they responded to the academy at 233 Exeter Road around 7:15 p.m.

The student shot himself in the calf when he was trying to put his pistol back in its holster, police said. He suffered a superficial wound and was taken to Exeter Hospital.
"Training accident" has been drilled into my head to the extent that I'm afraid I might report an actual shooting in the wild as a "training accident."

It sounds like someone forgot the corollary to rule #3: when your sights come off the target, your finger comes off the trigger.

Or they were using a crap "holster"...

It still mighta been a Glock, it doesn't look like having an actual Sig is a requirement for most of their classes.
Inquiring minds want to know.

A Sg with a short reset trigger(SRT) is very light on the touch and a finger still holding pressure could set it off.

Or the student forgot to engage the safety as well as keeping the finger on the trigger or catching it in their shirt when reholstering or something. The shirt catching the trigger if it's not tucked in can be easily overlooked if you're new or the instructor hasn't shown you how to properly reholster with an untucked shirt.

Could be, but anyone with a typical striker gun who reholsters while not empty is doing so at condition 0. I'm doing that every time I holster the LC9S Pro, PPQ, or VP9 for carry. In the modern striker world guns like the P99 are more the exception than the rule.

That's a thing? I'm sticking to rifles.
Shirt bunches up as you try to jam the pistol into the holster and gets into the trigger area. Not thinking because of adrenaline you jam it harder into the holster. Bang. Happens a lot? No. Possible? Very.

But I hate it when people stare at my long gun at Starbucks.

Bill, after peering with slitted eyes: "Naa, it's just a cheap Daniel Defense. Nothing to get excited about..."

Everyone relaxes, it's just a poseur...

He's just saying that because he's jealous of my strapping handsome look that draws his wife's attention.

It's a franken-colt.
Glad that federal government is boring again.
