Has anyone had any experience with these new holsters? I'm curious about the bail, thinking it would be more secure than a standard thumb-break, but I am scared the closed mechanism could jamb if lint and such got into it.
The few officers that I've met with them don't like them for just that reason, but none of them were the least bit interested in the gun on their hip. Also, none of them could cite a specific instance of failure that they personally witnessed.
I like the safarilaminate material for durability and looks. I like Safariland for good design, overall, and would like to consider this holster for my Colt 1991. I guess I just don't want to be a guinea pig for an unproven design.
Can the thing be dismantled for detail cleaning? Has yours stood up to a year of duty and competition? Have you experienced any hesitation or grit in the travel of the bail after repeated operations?
