I don't know guns but surely wearing it there just invites nutters to grab it?
Not really, that specific style of holster requires a very specific type of grip. you have hold in a particular way to be able to flip off the strap at the top and unholster the gun. Grab it from any other angle, and it's pretty much impossible to tug it out of the holster.
It's the same basic style of holster that police use to prevent their guns and backup guns from being stolen.
Most modern OWB (Outside the Waistband) holsters have some kind of mechanism like this (or some other kind of retention mechanism, like a button that can only be depressed when held from a specific angle) that prevent firearm theft.
Correct... these holsters were first introduced for law enforcement and military use, but the idea caught on and that design is now available in the civilian markets as well. I see them at gun shows all the time. Now to be sure, people do choose to open-carry, but I prefer concealed carry in keeping with my "gray man" philosophy. Be invisible, don't call attention to yourself in manner of dress, don't wear clothing with NRA or gun brand logos, avoid crowds, and blend into the background. But also be one of the most dangerous people in any situation. https://www.thebugoutbagguide.com/gray-man-theory/
Agree with this 100%. Visible weapons show your limits and also time differentials in a situation. With her back holster and gender, I am guessing 2-3 seconds holster to fire. Side arm on hip especially with the shape of a womans hip would be a much faster draw for her
It is a nice gun though
Don't know about a retention holster, but that is where I carry (concealed), and I can get first shot on target in 1.5 or less. Honestly not sure how gender (either of the two : ) ) enters into it.
