Active.
I carry my S&W M&P Mod 2.0 9mm 5inch FDE openly, outside the waistband, in a Safariland 7TS ALS holster. I use the Safariland Quick Lock System so that I can easily take the holstered pistol off of my Kore Essentials gun belt.

I also use the 7TS ALS holster for my Glock 21SF with a TLR-1 light attached. I use the belt slide because I prefer a more straight up draw than the paddle offers.

Can that quick lock system be used with the GLS line,

For self-defense CC, just straight up Kydex custom. For OC a good retention with active trigger guard lock

TexasJohnBoy, the Safariland QLS works with any Safariland holster using the 3-Hole pattern for mounting.

There are two different types of receiver plates. Using the QLS 22, I can remove the holster with one hand. The QLS 22L is a little more secure. It has pegs positioned so that you must press in and left up on the locking fork to remove the holster. I have to use both hands to remove the holster when using the QLS 22L receiver plate.

OWB, no retention.

On occasion I OC, like when loading groceries into the bed of my truck, after I come out of Walmart or from wherever I need to remove my vest and load up. Or when, filling up with gas.

These occasions are rare enough that I'm not going to buy another holster. I use is a non-retention boltaron holster. (similar, but I think superior to kydex as there's no scraping when holstering or un...)

NSR tactical IWB. Passive retention as you can adjust the clamping screw to make the kydex clamp down on the gun. I don't ever OWB or OC so no reason to wear anything else. I do have the Sarfariland that was linked earlier for duty carry or classes that don't allow IWB during class.

I don't open carry so for me it is an IWB leather holster with no retention

Been carrying firearms for 30 years. I don't use retention devices because they are another unavoidable, inevitable mechanical failure point.

Then again, I do not put myself in situation where someone can take my firearm from me without permission. I also stay away from situations where I am upside down while carrying a firearm, even though mine has a drop safety.

Great question.

Passive for 98% of my carry needs. With a good belt and a good holster it isn't coming out unless I want it out. If I open carry, which is rare, I use active retention which is usually just a thumb snap.
