Don't all holsters have to be strapped to yourself somehow?
I personally like the idea of the so-called "retention strap" in this Lynch design. It is really an underbelt so that the holster can be worn IWB without having to attach to the trouser belt. Great idea.
This allows it to be worn either IWB like a "Summer Special" or Tuckable (like Cross Breed), but without the unsightly and unworkable spring clips, snap loops, J hooks or whatever, which screams "I am carrying a not-very-concealed firearm."
The fact that you can "sit on the toilet and do your business" without having to unholster or find a place to leave your pistol when you are doing so is a great idea.
I know a cop who left his pistol in the public toilet - fortunately no one found it before he realized - while doing his business.
This underbelt (the web site uses the unfortunate term "retention strap," which implies something else entirely) allows your to drop your pants to the floor without having your pistol and holster drop down there as well when taking care of business.
The article they have on their web site about the guy whose CCW pistol fell from the IWB holster when he tried to pull his pants back up after he finished using the toilet is a "must read." No one wants to have the embarrassment of blowing up a public toilet and having porcelain "shrapnel" dug out of themselves after such an episode!
The underbelt allows holster and pistol to stay put around your waist while sitting on the toilet.
If Lynch could fix their web site to make it readable (the dark red print against the black background just doesn't work for me), and if they could make ordering on line easier and more automated, and if they could get models of more pistols, they would be off and running!
I wish them luck.
