I recently decided to add a light to my uniform duty gun (Until recently I was never in uniform and even now it is rare, but does happen) and I sought out a suitable holster (Safariland 6390). I was less than thrilled to find that I could both eject the mag and pull the trigger of the gun while it is holstered and locked in with the ALS. I then remembered this had been an issue a couple years ago:

I guess it doesn’t bother most folks and is a very common holster with those I work with but from a retention/ DT standpoint, I find it really discomforting. I do understand the holster is designed this way due to weapon light diameter, but I am half tempted to forego the light, despite being a believer in weapon lights when used appropriately. Ironically, the light I have is pretty small and does not even require the massive opening. I don’t work with anyone using the 7300 series Safariland holsters and haven't been able to find an answer to this on the internet. Does anyone know whether if this issue is resolved in the newest holsters (7390, etc.) or have any other suggestions? If not, should I just get over it and stop worrying?
I carry an older model of gun, and have to have basketweave, so that would limit the alternatives.
