I quit wearing my Uncle Mike's after having my Glocks and SW M&P falling out a couple of times. I started wearing my Blackhawk Serpa holster all the time whether on the paddle or belt loop. My firearm will not fall out and it is still lightweight.

+1. The Serpa rocks. Great holster. Great price.

Glad you didn't end up doing the 'Bang-Bang Boogie' two-step.

+1 on the SERPA.

my leather holster is made locally and honestly I would not change it... I know it and like it. easy to draw and close to the body. and above all.... I'm comfortable with it. and now I know I what my limitations are.. (definitely a plus no matter what your politics or philosophy)

That is a terrible feeling, huh? Mid last century, when I was about 16, I dropped my 30-30 climbing into a tree stand. Watched that thing drop pointing right up at me. (Only knocked the rear sight ramp off and a LONG barrel scratch.) Never forgot it and never climbed another tree without a sling. Still remember thinking, "Goshdarnit, what a stupid way to die." I believe it took just over a week for it to fall. Oh, and about two days after it hit the ground butt first before it toppled over. Funny, the stuff you think about when you think about things like that. I had a drunk "friend" pull a .45 on me in a bar off Ft. Benning. Same thing, I thought how stupid it would be to die trying to stop an idiot from getting arrested or shot, (he had pulled it on a couple of guys already). Making mistakes ONCE is a learning experience! (Twice?? hmm, a can't learn experience??)  ;D 
Glad you learned the easy way!

Had a friend die like that when I was in high school. They thought he had run away from home until they found his body in a tree 2 days later.

In every one of the half dozen or so hunter safety classes I've attended we were advised to NEVER, EVER climb a fence, a tree, a ladder or a ditch, stream or any steep embankment with a LOADED firearm! 

If I found someone in my hunting party climbing into his stand with a loaded gun, that would be last time I would ever hunt with them again.  He or she puts not only himself in extreme danger but others in the party as well.

It is one the fundamentals in firearms safety and fundamental COMMON SENSE!

Thank you!!!! This is one of the reasons I hunt solo.

Well, unfortunately, we all do stupid stuff without thinking. Maybe, just maybe, especially kids on their first deer hunt. Hey, I was indestructable back then anyway! ;D
