This thread brings up a bunch of interesting points, at least to me. First is the idea of becoming "one" with your weapon. I think it is so important to become so familiar with drawing, presenting, firing, and re-holstering your chosen weapon that it becomes second nature. I applaud HK owners that endeavor to make this happen. And this brings up the other point. Where I live (Houston area) most of the ranges do not allow drawing live weapons from a holster. I understand the "general" reasoning behind this (too many noobs with too much of a chance of ND incident), but always chafed at an outright ban. There should be an area where folks with a demonstrated ability (certs, concealed carry license, whatever) should be able to go and seriously practice (as opposed to just trying to drop hot brass down their gf's shirt). I joined a private range to be able to shoot what I want, how I want...
And, FWIW, the cant of my holster is chosen by where I am wearing the holster with which gun. I cannot always wear shorts and a baggy shirt (wifey doesn't understand that this mode really is acceptable everywhere), so carry is sometimes affected.
