Jake, after 19 years as a LEO and a box full of crap holsters, the one thing I have learned is I will never buy two kinds. Paddle and shoulder. Paddle holsters are horrendously uncomfortable while sitting, running, driving or well, anything but standing still. The pinch, poke, prod (note the unintentional alliteration), and if you sweat? Dear god. Anyway, I love the concept, but the reality is a big MEH.
