I have continued to use it on occasion, as a "driving holster," but not while at work. I have considered trying to craft a retention device.
I acquired a pre-owned Alessi for my new G26, for a test run, as I have moved to mostly using G17 & G19 pistols for most purposes. If successful, and it seems OK thus far, I may ask Null, Ritchie, or 5-Shot to make one with a retention device.
I may add more later; time to suit-up and gear-up for a 12-hour night.
