[QUOTE="WAGS, post: 1993749, member: 24511"] I truly think that its the lack of situational awareness, of individuals that are OC'ing, that is the ultimate problem to the possibilities.. I'm starting to see a slight trend of comments about non'retention holsters bieng this "hey here have my gun" type scenario, like having a holster with retention is 100% fail safe. Cuz its not.. A 7 year old could be taught the release latch of a blackhawk, the thumb release of Safariland, any thumbed or flipped button of a leather holster, not to mention if you tie in the tactics of quickly lifting/trapping/moving thier left arm with your left hand while grabbing the weapon with your right(in the situation the carrier is right handed and your attacking from thier 6) -- have there been any reported cases in the last several years of a individual OC'ing having his weapon taken from him by surprise?(im not saying there hasn't been, i'm asking based off a lack of research) -- I feel no more comfortable OC'ing with my 92fs in a blackhawk serpa than I do with my G26 in a Raven concealment, strictly based off the fact of my mindset and situational awareness.. I truly believe when and if we hear a story of a man having his gun taken from him, it will be based off the fact that he was making himself a easy target, and not based off what kind of holster he was wearing. (but of course knowing my luck it will be a nylon uncle mikes and I'll have to eat my words, but either way I think yall understand what i'm tryin to say) [/QUOTE]
