[QUOTE="CrossroadHolsters.com, post: 2621608, member: 34999"] Great read. I especially agree with #4 (below). I have encountered so many people who spend $500+ on their carry gun but then buy the cheapest holster they can get their hands on. Inevitably, after a short time of carrying on a regular basis they end up breaking or hating that cheap holster and buy something with substantial quality. "4. The value of a good holster. Once you have a solid foundation with a proper belt, you need to continue building on that with equal quality. A good holster does three things: A holster helps you access your gun quickly, easily, and safely. It will hold your gun in a fixed position. If you ever need to reach for your gun, it will be exactly where you expect. It won’t move around and you won’t have to constantly check the position of your gun. It protects the trigger. By necessity, you may have to find and grip your gun quickly while under stress. A safe holster keeps the trigger completely protected until you have a proper, and safe, grip. Many things in your daily routine (chairs, seat belts, keys, etc.) have the potential to push through clothing hard enough to move the trigger. It ensures that your gun remains under your control. Retention features in a holster aren’t just for law enforcement professionals. Make sure you invest in a holster that will keep your gun secure through your range of daily activity whether that includes getting in and out of cars, working outside or any other sort of physical activity."
