There's nothing civil about this war.

Definitely wide. I haven’t had any issues with mine riding up off the belt, but I don’t have a lot of miles on them - only on a holster mostly used on the range, but I have carried it for 30 days total or so. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Tony comes up with.

My observation of someone else using the OWB hooks showed that as soon as you hit the ground they’re very likely to come off. Probably fine for just holding your pistol on the range doing standing drills, but if you do anything like, for example, rifle shooting from grounded positions, your pistol is likely to come detached from you. For specific context, my father-in-law and I were taking a carbine course and I pointed out that his holster was half detached after a grounded drill.
Again, probably just fine if you only need something to draw from while standing. I’d avoid them for anything beyond that.
ETA - as for the main topic I’d definitely love to see a JMCK solution. I don’t currently use an OWB holster, but I use OWB carriers for rifle mags and extra pistol mags. Those being quick on and off but still secure is ideal - I’m currently using a DIY solution with normal PTD loops but I know Tony is much more capable than me...
My experience with Safariland paddles is they are "easy on" "very difficult off", I only tried them as they came with the holstesr but good luck jerking one out of position without dropping the pants and fighting with it.
I don't use them and have no problem putting holster slots on a belt.
The Ulticlips, we use them for several things in an industrial construction setting and they work well and are very secure for work several hundred feet in the air and you don't want to drop things. They do have metal edges. The only holster I've used them on never moved but I still prefer correct size belt loops.
If you don't need retention, and are good with a paddle holster, I have used various Kramer horsehide MSP holsters for almost 30 years. I suspect their belt scabbard and vertical belt scabbard would also work well, but have not tried them.
Galco holsters are not bad a lower price scale and without the wait.
