RIP to a good looking lady. RUMINT is that it was a SIG P238. Another source said a KelTec, yet another source said a G42. Sigh. Will have to look at the police report I guess.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. - Police say a 55-year-old woman who died after accidentally shooting herself in the head in January was adjusting a handgun in her bra holster when the gun fired.
The St. Joseph Public Safety Department is awaiting a full autopsy report in the death of Christina Bond, but Director Mark Clapp released details about the circumstances surrounding the Jan. 1 shooting to the Kalamazoo Gazette on Wednesday.
Clapp says Bond was "having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon."
Bond was taken to a hospital, where she died.
According to her obituary, Bond, a mother of two, served two years in the Navy and was elected just prior to her death to serve as a Precinct Delegate for St. Joseph Charter Precinct 1.

Very sad. A decent holster will not allow a pistol in it to have the trigger pulled and discharged. Should be impossible to do.
Enquiring minds have to question the storyline.
No mention of the type/brand gun. If you must sweep yourself with a personal weapon....make sure it is a safe one.
“Enquiring minds have to question the storyline.”
Considering the source is the Communist Broadcasting System there’s a better than good chance there’s an agenda.
I’m sure they ignored a half dozen stories where a gun saved someone’s life just to get to this one.
She went Tango Uniform.
Yes her name was Torah Tittov, a Russian immigrant.
If you are using a firearm with a trigger safety maybe you shouldn’t have a round chambered.
Yeah, even my $8 pocket holster covers the trigger and trigger guard.
I did a search and it didn’t come up, but that happens when another post has a different title...
Who knows? Finger on trigger while messing with it? Trigger got caught on something? Sad for the family and more fodder for the anti-gun nuts.
Next time try the Tricot/Kevlar blend. It lifts and separates AND shields.
That’s it. No more second base for me, no more motor boating. Too dangerous.

I suspect it was a Glock. Before the TBA my carry weapon was a .357 S&W snubby with a shrouded hammer. Very easy to pull an bring into action, completely reliable, and almost sure not to produce an accidental discharge.
