I've carried a Glock 42 in that exact same holster. It was completely secure. If I felt like I needed a rubber band to hold it in, I would send it right back to DeSantis and tell them the holster is defective.
I had never even heard of the Saf-T-Blok until your post, what an idea, you have to poke around behind the trigger before your gun is usable. Yes, that's just what I want to be doing while some guy is punching me in the face or plunging a knife into me.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest perhaps you would be better served with a different gun, different carry method, or both.
