Anyone Prefer a Thumbreak??
Does anyone here prefer a thumbreak for CCW? I've had a few spills with open top holsters. I'm back to using thumbsnaps or other methods of retention.

I always like the thumbreak. I just bought a Don Hume Agent 711 for my XD9SC. If I carry IWB, I don't care about the thumbreak, but outside the waist I just feel a little better having it. I can draw just as fast with a thumbreak as I can with an open top, so why not? At least I know if I go bouncing around on the ground or in an accident of some sort, I will still have my firearm.

well....
I don't like to wear a thumbreak but do sometimes because I knw that my carry piece will be safe if I have to do any running. I also had a chance to use a Carrylock made by Bianchi. I really love that holster but they don't make it for my 24/7.

I don't however I can see where it can come in handy, so maybe I'll look into one and give it a try. That Bianchi Carrylock looks good too.

I used to like thumb break holsters, until I found out about Blackhawk Serpa CQC holsters, then I never looked back. The drawing motion of the Serpa holster is all too natural for me, and it keeps my gun securely in place, until I draw.

Curious what holsters spilled?? (don't out any of our makers here, that'd be unnecessary)
Were they universal styles like Uncle Mikes? Were they Custom jobs?

Hi, custom and generic holsters. i would like a Serpa for my CZs, but they do not intend any at this time. The carrylok does look like a good option.

Would NEVER reccommend any type of button,snap,or lever,for ANY weapon(not just firearms) that are carried for human protection.(no velcro either)
A well made,correctly fitting holster/belt combo will be as secure as us "civilians" need it to be without these gizmo's.-------- |

Negative on the thumb snap. I think they just get in the way of reholstering and tend to scratch the gun on the draw. I carry my 1911 OWB in a Wilson Combat open top low profile, or my XD in a Don Hume 715 IWB.
