I remember vividly when I was going through training classes in Texas the instructor held many re-holstering drills first with an empty gun then with snap caps. He pushed this part of the training as much as gun handling and shooting.
Pretty cool holster but I think I'll pass. I'm kinda old school when it comes to guns and I prefer IWB mostly.

Oh come on, you should rock that holster. Haha. Naw, I saw that and thought it was, well, unique. I would not give whomever came up with that the satisfaction of gallivanting around with that on my hip...
You never know maybe it is an awesome holster that just needs a chance!

I agree. If you are forced to draw in a defensive situation you are already going to be under an enormous amount of stress. It would just be another step that you could forget to do. They certainly aren't going to wait for you to remember everything you are suppose to.

Ok so from what I saw during the video the man was fumbling with his weapon and had absolutely no idea how to control his gun. Yes he was at the range but his choice of clothing also added to his failure to re-holster his gun safely.
I understand that everyone can wear what they want to but when you arm yourself with a gun you have to have common sense.

There's a good deal of people out there who lack common sense and could really benefit from reading articles like this or watching real life examples like the video above.
Great points!
That's a good safe way to train drawing and holstering. I need to pickup a few blue guns to match some of my common carry guns.When I am doing any type of holster work, I use blue guns. Eliminates any potential accidents and it doesn't wear the finish off the one I worked so hard to purchase. Always did this with the kids, so I am just leading by example.

Yea, especially all the anti gun purchasers who went hoarding on guns and ammo, who don’t know diddly from squat........

Reminds me of a Russian holster for the Makarov; you holster it empty, and your drawstroke is actually downward...it holds the slide, and releases when the slide is fully retracted, charging the pistol.
I will pass, thank you.
Personally, I think this holster design is something that the Israelis came up with...because they have some really BAD ideas when it comes to gunfights.
On the rest...always look your pistol into the holster. Sweep the mouth with a finger to make certain there are no obstructions. Holster slowly...if something doesn’t feel right, STOP. You have all the time in the world to holster; take the time to get it right.
I’ll also add...this is the reason that, with the exception of the P7, I do not care for striker fired pistols for carry. I much prefer something with a hammer, as I can put my thumb on the hammer, and if I feel any movement...something is wrong.

I was joking about that holster, just to clear the air...
