[QUOTE="SigInBoots, post: 1782173, member: 17769"] I suppose, soonergto, we'll have to wait until the first guy to get shot by a woman carrying in that holster survives and confirms that he was temporarily immobilized by the idea that a woman he'd attack would be fool enough to show him her breasts. I'd rather count on developing a quick, smooth, and accurate drawstroke to buy me that extra second than hoping that the bad guy is going to be so crippled by my sudden, insane (apparent) interest in "giving him a thrill" that he stands by, slackjaw, waiting to get shot. Frankly, I'm not interested in giving the bad guy a thrill, even for a split second. I expect him to take me seriously from the moment I make oh-no-you-didn't eye contact until he decides to pick another target or pays the penalty for a bad decision. Nor am I interested in carrying a holster that requires the muzzle of my weapon to be pointed at anyone standing to the side of me, or for me to sweep anyone between me and the bad guy as I draw it, or for me to sweep my own feet. The universal rules for responsible firearms handling don't get tossed aside by virtue of my being a woman, and Flashbang holsters demand that women who use them violate at least one of those rules; namely, "never point your firearm at anything you don't intend to destroy." All of the good intentions and "clever concealment" in the world isn't going to make up for a negligent discharge in which an innocent bystander is injured or killed. [/QUOTE]
