Cross-Chest Holster

This is a follow up to my original post about the cross-cheat holster from survival sheath (http://death-merchant.blogspot.com/2012/03/cross-chest-holster-survival-sheath.html). I had the opportunity to use the holster almost exclusively last week. The holster is VERY comfortable to wear. It is easy to draw from it while driving on a passenger, with the seat-belt properly fastened.

I had not yet locked down the screws with locktite when an incident happened Friday night. I was walking down the path in the dark when I felt the pressure on my left shoulder decreasing suddenly. As I reached to check my holster I felt that it was too late. The nut (which I had only re-tightened 2 days earlier) had come loose, released a strap and dumped a loaded glock on the ground. The glock being a glock didn't fire. Some of the holster hardware couldn't be located in the dark. I do not attribute this to holster or design failure. This is a good reminder to locktite all hardware on kydex gear. Don't get me wrong, the holster design can definitely be improved but once I order replacement hardware, install it and locktite it I will feel very comfortable using this holster. I may add a 4th hardware point 2 inches back from the mounting point that lost the screw.

It is interesting to compare the differences between this holster (http://www.survivalsheath.com/holsters/index.htm), OTG Concepts (http://www.offthegridconcepts.com/), and Raven Concealment Systems (http://www.ravenconcealment.com/) . Additional improvements could be made to this design by using 1 piece of kydex and bending it over, like the Raven holster instead of going with a 2 piece design.
Looks like I'll do more testing once I get replacement hardware.

Holster working as it should earlier in the week.
