For hiking I use skijoring leads with this style quick-release. It’s a fast one-handed pull to release.

If I find myself in that situation, I don't want to remain tethered to the dog. I normally carry something like this in my strong hand, which is robust enough to break a windshield out of a vehicle. If that is not enough, I'll drop the leash, transfer the light to the support hand and draw the weapon.
I have a normal 6 ft leash but it has a D ring just below the grip loop. I also have a 2 ft leash. I put my belt through the loop on the short leash when I am putting my OWB holster and gun on. I then clip the short leash into that D ring on the long leash. I walk holding the loop of the long leash like I normally would. I figure I can let go of the leash and my dog will still be attached to me. Generally I am more worried about protecting my dog than myself so I'd rather he didn't go off into the wild blue yonder while fighting the other dog.
This is the type leash I use. Very versatile if you click on the link it will show you the leashing options one of them being cross body which leaves both hands free.
I cant speak to the quality of this leash in particular but one of these of good quality should last a lifetime.
