I thought this link might be interesting as fas as showing that not every product offered to gun owners is well thought-out or even especially safe. As a practical lesson, it pays to give some thought to a product before you buy it and think how it is going to work (or not work) for you. It is also a reminder that some manufacturers may have a substantially different opinion than the community at large on what constitutes safe gun handling.

And do not under any circumstances fall on your back. Even if it doesn't do any permanent damage, they pain and shock will pretty much incapacitate you.

IMO, my holsters are much more efficient (and comfortable!). This seems like a bad idea waiting to happen at the very least.

The the modern bungee version of a string loop holster, but promoting a very slow one-handed draw or a complicated two-handed draw.

Gotta think the 'coin' is apt to mar the finish on some guns.

I think I will have to pass.

How many viewers cringe and feel their gut turn a somersault when he's got his fingers all over the muzzle of that pistol? Gads.

How many ways is it possible for a product to be a total fail?

Clever product but YIKES!

NOPE I have sewn and used a Tahir holster that put a micropistol between shoulder blades, and even I wouldn't use this doohickey. Granted that when I was using that rig I was on a motorcycle with several layers of crash gear between gun and asphalt, but I k ew that if I ever bit it and landed on my back I was probably going to have issues. I even built it up a bit so that gun was aimed down and slightly away from the body...very comfy and very secure, but not at all advisable...and still better than this "product"

Not only that, but all that manipulation blind behind your back - how easy would it be to catch some clothing (or finger?) in the trigger guard when stuffing in the waistband.

All I can hear is Forrest Gump saying, "..in the butt-ocks."

Never put a pistol in your waistband with the handle pointing out. When you bring it around, you will sweep your own legs. A premature discharge will pretty much take you out of the fight and the fight out of you...

To make it even easier, they built in a trigger snag feature.

That coin thing that's attached to the end is ripe to be trigger snagged.

Looks like a sort of rework of the WW2 OSS string holster... I could see a VersaCarry or variation thereof as an improvement, since it covers the trigger guard, but not that thing.
