I just bought my wife a Blackhawk CQC which has a retention button that has to be pressed to release the gun. I'm in the process of "encouraging" her to practice with it so she doesn't forget about the button. Like someone before me said, this is critical.

It comes with a padle and regular belt attachments. The padle is a little hard to get off the belt, but that's what you'd expect with a retention holster. No good locking your gun in a holster if they can pull it off your belt.

I also noticed that if you pull up on on the gun before hitting the button, it will never come out of the holster. You have to hit the button first. So far, I like it. However, the little woman needs to work with it some more before I would recommend it. I say this because if the person using it doesn't practice with it, it then it's pretty likely they won't hit the button and the gun will stick in the holster when they need it most.
