Prolific YouTuber John Correia , founder of Active Self Protection (ASP) has his primary incident commentary training video channel Active Self Protection,
and also a separate self defense commentary channel, Active Self Protection Extra.
In the latter channel John has a number of commentaries on holsters.
Here are all of those I have found, in order by date. You may not agree with all he says, but his opinions and advice are well thought out and worth considering.
