Pistol holsters, defensive Vs. Offensive

Thigh holsters model names amuse me..... even more amusing is referring to them as , "Tactical".

Offensive Vs. Defensive mindset and training.

Defensive mindset: Thigh holsters that "defensively" retain the weapon in case of a wrestling match between "Civilian" Law Enforcement and bad guys.

Offensive mindset: The only retention system is one that will retain the weapon while running, jumping etc. such as the Eagle SAS Mark V Airborne Holster

This is a tactical holster. It's not made of a hard plastic that makes noise when you brush up against a hard surface nor will your weapon get jammed in because of a malfunction of some spring meant to release the retainer arm.

I shoot with Law Enforcement officers all the time, none, not one has yet to beat me out of the holster using their "defensive rigs".

Safety for speed = Defensive mindset.

If you read my sig line you will notice the word "safety" is not one of the operating principles.......
