Paddle holsters and CCW
This is an area that can cause much debate in the CCW world because if you are concealing a firearm in a paddle holster you are almost always going to have to wear a vest or a long coat, not all environments can tolerate a jacket, and most jackets are either not going to be long enough or they will make you sweat, just in for concealing a firearm in this manor. I really like the Blackhawk Serpa holsters, but they do extend a little further out on the body that something like a Don Hume Jit holster which is flat up against a belt.
Firearm retention in a holster is important for LEO and people carrying open carry, but not so much for CCW. Yes you may get in a scuffle and have a firearm fly out of a holster, but the Blackhawk holsters make get a little difficult to release if you are not in a good position, there are always methods and tactics that people should train with and trying a holster out in an adverse position is something you should try doing. Try pulling the firearm laying on your side, or in the seated position and you’ll know what I mean. If you are sitting down, you’ll realize how odd it will feel and how high you’ll have to left your shoulder to clear it.
