I'm going to be doing armed security work soon. I've been in security for a while but I've never carried. I'm not a newbie when it comes to firearms, but I live in The People's Republic of New York and this will actually be my first real time I've carried. I bought a simple nylon Uncle Mike's hip holster for my Ruger P94. I'll likely upgrade it to something fancier when funds are available.
Two questions: First, I've noticed that on thumb break holsters, illustrations show the snap on the inside, closest to the body. I tried both ways and I find it easier to draw with the snap on the opposite side. What is the proper way and why? Second, any recommendations on a strong side hip holster?
