Nearly everyone who starts carrying ends up with a collection of holsters as they discover what works for them. It is a very personal issue, as peoples needs, builds, and habits all differ considerably.
I like the idea of everyone telling what works for them, but I don’t think that comments to the effect of “this should never be used” are very helpful. Everything works for someone at some time.
“...It is a very personal issue, as peoples needs, builds, and habits all differ considerably...”
Very good point...
It’s something that all who carry must make adjustments for, and more importantly PRACTICE with.
The moment may come when you MUST draw it (hopefully never, but life is fickle), and you’d BETTER be damned sure that you can clear leather (or Kydex, etc) smoothly, snag-free, and quickly so that YOU wind up standing at the end.
With every rig that I use, I practice the draw (unloaded, of course) and bring the weapon to bear as smoothly as possible. If it snags, catches, or otherwise binds, I find a different way.
It’s only my LIFE that I’m concerned with, after all...
