This holster arrived today. It as way too tight for Picatinny rails, but after some twisting sessions, I can fit my subcompact grip without rails on my compact slide in the holster. This is definitely not a "quick draw" holster, and will require lots more squeezing and twisting before I carry it in public. I do think it would be very hard for a BG to grab my gun in this holster, because it's hard for me to get it out, too. :oops:

By the way, this is the version with the locking hole for child-proofing the gun with handcuffs or padlock, located where the tension screw is located on newer holsters.

Retention Holsters

I should receive my new Desantis leather holster today for my SIG P250 Compact. The price was impossible to resist at $15.00 from CDNN. I don't like the SIG retention paddle holster, nor do I like the Blackhawk version, because they are built like duty holsters, and are not designed for concealed carry close to the waist. I just wanted one to use for open carry if I choose to do that on occasion. This Desantis leather holster allegedly is used by the Secret Service, and sits very close to the waist, and can be carried canted or straight up and down.

Question: What is the meaning of the different levels of retention, like 1, 2, and 3?
