I bought the OWB thumb release paddle holster for my Taurus G2C for open carry casual use. I like the thumb release because it is hidden from the outside and would be very difficult for someone else to release it. They would have to be very clever and know exactly what they were doing to be able to get the pistol. Basically it's pretty much impossibly because I'm always very aware of who's near me and even if they snuck up from behind, which would be a feat, they would have to touch me in order to get their thumb to the release and in that case, as soon as I felt the touch there would be a reaction so I don't see anyone being able to get the gun while I am conscious. I don't believe in concealed carry under normal circumstances. I think hiding our guns is stupid and counter intuitive to any gun owner's cause. We should all be proudly carrying our side arms where everyone can be aware. There would be a lot less crime. When would be suspects see people carrying guns, they are far less likely to commit a crime in that atmosphere and if the general public has an issue with seeing us with our guns then maybe they shouldn't be out in public to begin with. Maybe if this trend hadn't begun at all they would be used to it and it wouldn't be an issue but it seems that things have been softened by those who don't want us to have guns at all which has caused this atmosphere of fear upon seeing anyone with a gun. I personally don't care what people think when they see me with mine. If they voice any negative opinions to me I simply explain that it's still my right to carry my gun openly, that it's for personal self defense, and that they may be safer with me and my gun in proximity because if anyone tries to pull any public shooting event, they are going to be met with return fire. So this is a perfect choice for my situation with the exception of the paddle being the only option for attachment. I would like to see it offered in the standard belt clip option or to have a choice including the paddle, belt clip, molle, or drop leg attachment options. I haven't had any issues with the paddle but it is more cumbersome and I don't like how it interferes with belt loops. I like my holster just behind the side belt loop and the paddle forces me to set it back a bit more than I like because it doesn't set the holster close to the belt loop whereas a standard belt clip would allow the holster to sit further forward where I prefer it to be.

I would have liked to see the holster adjusted for the gun that I ordered it for. Took me a while to figure out how to adjust it for my particular gun.
