Apology mildly accepted...I think.
Once upon a time, people had to pay to learn information from rightful SMEs of particular fields that's now offered for free on the Internet. I've seen a lot of really knowledgeable people with useful and interesting insights eventually get fed up and abandon social forums such as this because it puts them into conversations with others who speak/write outside of their lane. It seems to be not a matter of if but when.
I’ll go ahead and speak for a plurality of posters who’ve been here a while: we all got it; nothing to apologize for. Thanks for taking time to paste both the video and the full context of the discussion. The stuff left in from the FB-driven issue also imparted value to the OP.
JMO.
But you know I’m right.
The most powerful and harmful influence Trump has had on our politics…has been the effect on his opponents. They have been triggered into an orgy of self-mutilation—eager to amputate their own history and disfigure their own political traditions.
Not necessarily. The main issue in this situation is buying a holster with some kind of clip attachment, throwing in the waistband of sweatpants of gym shorts and going about your business. No testing or practicing to make sure you are set up properly. That is a disaster waiting to happen.
This very first thing to do is tighten the drawstring in the waistband. If you run it with the same level of slack that 99.9% run it with, and then you throw on something that weighs a pound or two, is maybe short and squat (i.e. not a lot of leverage in length and all the weight is smack in the middle of the gun) and you start moving explosively, things may happen with the holster and gun that you don't want.
You may also need to run the gun a bit lower than you do with a belt. The higher it sits, the less leverage under the waistband which puts more pressure on the clip to hold it on. For example, on my LCR, I want most of the waistband to be at least above the midline of the cylinder. Any lower and the weight of the butt and gun above the waistband may very well tip outwards even without pressure.
The third item is to actually know how to go hands on in a grappling situation with good mechanics and understanding of principles, not just a collection of techniques that you "know".
As in most things, it is not just a gear issue that is solved by gear. It is a multi-faceted problem that requires work and knowledge along with the gear.

Bit of a thread drift from the current conversation but the title of the thread aligns with my mindset for this year. This year will be the year of "everything else" meaning my classes will focus on everything else other than the physical act of shooting. So tactics, mindset, hand to hand, verbal skills, medical ect. With ammo being as crazy as it is its the perfect opportunity to focus on arguably the more important aspects of self defense.
Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!
The unlocking thing recently happened here. A woman was the subject of road rage and she drove home parked in her driveway. Roadrage guy pulled in behind her. She turned her car off, door unlocks road rage guy opened the door drug her out of the car and assaulted her in her front yard. Road rage guy gets back in his truck and drove off. Either that night or the next night her vehicle was egged so Im assuming road rage guy returned.
Last I heard he had not been caught.
I'll wager you a PF dollar™ 😎
