Also the spetsnez supposedly used that funky holster design and carry empty chamber and drawing the gun by pushing down chambers the round. For those that really are serious about it maybe that rig and gun would be the answer.

I was thinking about that Spetsnaz holster too!

Apparently they have a "push/pull" version too. You push down to rack the slide, then pull up to disengage the gun from the holster.

i actually find this very cool for some reason. not that i'm willing to change my carry style but its quite interesting. i wouldn't mind having one but would obviously make you OC and some wouldn't be comfortable with that either.

Although the holster is theoretically nice, I find it easier to carry one chambered. Also, with that holster I would probably shoot myself in the leg!

Then the "push/pull" version might better suit you
