Per my dept. guidelines, I have to have active retention in any off-duty holster. Thumb breaks in a well-designed holster do not slow a draw too much, IMO. A thumb break holster is not good for open carry IMO as it is a simple operation to disarm someone who uses a thumb-break holster for open carry. I would use something like the Bianchi Carrylok or the Blackhawk Serpa holster before using any other OWB holster.
