Went to a weapon retention instructor class: learned that there's NO paddle holster that's safe. Also learned you can break any holster.

Also want to caution against any holster using a mechanical gadget to retain the weapon. May never happen, but getting the weapon out in cause of failure is interesting-if it's not your gun getting ground/hacksawed out of the holster. Watched a Speed Safety need a welding grinder applied to the hinge back in the day, have seen a more modern holster after the hacksaw released the gun.

Agree on the belt holster. I've used a couple of Fobus holsters as carry on the farm (wanted something I could clean with a hose). Work well, never had any issues, more than I can say for the Uncle Mikes.
