[Onward Allusion]

Paddle stays behind the belt & pants - basically, the paddle part sits next to your skives. Paddle holsters vary from mfr to mfr. Some are fairly easy to go on and off, whereas others need major manipulation to be removed which IMO completely defeats the purpose.

I have used many different brands of paddles and although hard to believe, the Fobus line of paddles are probably the best. The tension screw sets the right amount of friction to hold the gun in place. The hooks are sufficient to keep the holster on the belt during draw as long as it is hooked to the bottom of your belt (through your pants).
