...As for a holster, despite the nay-sayers, a retention holster should also be considered mandatory.
...Is that the 'right' way to do it? I dunno, do your thing, your way.
Yet, 'curiously', the two statements are not at all contradictory.I just chopped out all that other stuff between these contradictory statements.
Perhaps because it states, "should be considered mandatory".
Of course, there are those out there that believe themselves 'impervious' to a gun grab, or being disarmed, and feel a retention mechanism 'shows weakness' of some sort. It typically comes from those with little to no practical experience and/or those who've never 'been there - done that'.
They're wrong, of course. We just hope they never find that out the hard way. It could be a fatal error in judgment.
