Re: Retention Holsters for Concealed or Open Carry

With the Desantis holster - it looks like it has similar problems as a Serpa holster. Your trigger finger is what disengages the retention.

I don't know about you, but for me, my trigger finger has one job, and one job only: to stay away from the trigger until I'm ready to fire. Serpas are known for negligent discharges because people shooting under duress don't disengage the retention with the correct form, thus pulling their trigger finger into the trigger guard and pulling the trigger.

Don't have one yet, but when I do get a retention holster for open carry, it will likely be a Safariland ALS or GLS to prevent that sort of thing from happening.

Looks like The Prowler might work.http://www.desantisholster.com/THE-PROWLER
Does that one use the index finger to disengage the retention mechanism?

Not a fan of the trigger finger having more than one job, like Serpas. That's how negligent discharges happen under stress.
