Consider this #8: secure concealed carry

[Michael Janich]

Thanks for the kind words, John.

I agree--retention works both ways. The last thing you want is a holster so secure that even you can't get your gun out.

Stay safe,

Mike

A Utah man bagged a public toilet at Centerville’s Carl’s Jr. restaurant Tuesday when his gun fell out of its holster and misfired as he was pulling up his pants. Police said a Salt Lake City man received minor injuries to his arm from flying shards of porcelain when the .40-caliber bullet from his gun shattered the toilet as it hit the tile floor, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

My general rule of thumb....NEVER POOP in a PUBLIC TOILET!

Here's another anecdotal story from another forum:

I was carrying a S&W Model 36 in a leather belt holster. Somehow the "Safety Strap" (thumb straps were new fangled and high tech in those days) became unsnapped. When I sat down at my desk, the chair arm snagged on the weapon, pulled it from the holster and dropped it on the floor behind me.
