The only reason I bought a revolver holster with a retention device is I am partial to the safariland high paddle, and have one for every one of my handguns. Safariland however, does not make a wheelgun model without the thumb break. So I cut the darn thing off.

If you like the holster, then just compete with it and use the retention devices. Who gives a damn what onlookers think.

I'll also offer my .02 that you shouldn't carry the holster in different conditions (rentention devices sometimes used, sometimes not). You can guess why I'm sure. Do it the same way EVERY time.

Sir Henley,
Another way to look at this is that maybe you learned of a deficiency in your carry gear. If you are unwilling to take the time to deal with the holster during competition when nothing is really on the line, are you really going to want to take the extra time in a life saving situation?

There are many "competition" enhancements or pieces of equipment that are very good for everyday carry. Why would you not want a setup that is fast to draw, acquire a sight picture with, and shoot with? The faster you can do those things in real life, the better off you will be.

hmmm..."ALL retention features of the holster MUST be used"

That must apply to everyone, otherwise there would be nothing else mandating that a holster be snapped. I assume that would mean I have to engage the retention lock too.

I guess I'm going to have to get a competition holster... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (DrHenley) http://idpaforum.yuku.com/sreply/35683 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 10:58:29 GMT http://idpaforum.yuku.com/reply/35682/t/Holster-modification.html#reply-35682 Sir Henley,

Good question. I know that the rule is commonly applied as it was in your case, that if a retention device is present, it must be used, even for non-LEO's. But the rule book doesn't say that (that I can find). It looks like Robert Ray at IDPA headquarters did make a clarification, as discussed here:

Can someone point me to the place in the rule book that requires a holster be snapped? I have read and re-read the rule book and I can't find it. If there is a retention lock in addition to the snap, does it have to be engaged?
