[QUOTE="BrandonMF, post: 2111374, member: 13086"] We're not talking Condoms, we're talking Holsters. A HI-Point or a Glock, they booth shoot things at contact distances. Generic hot sauce or Tabasco, they both make your food hotter. Sometimes paying extra for the nice little extra things and not just the bare minimal you could ask for in an item is a GOOD thing, especially if your life could depend on it. Listen, a $12 dollar Holster will hold your gun. If that's the BARE MINIMUM, and that is all you aim for, then you're going to get the bare minimum performance meaning it will barely hold the gun, but if you want a Holster that is fit to your specific gun and therefore carries more securely and comfortably, offers retention in all manners of circumstances, stays rigid and therefore safer longer, offers a higher level of comfort, etcetera and only requires a slightly higher investment you're better off spending money and getting quality. I spent just under $100 for my Summer Comfort 2 and it is easily the best holster I've ever owned, to the point that every handgun I own has it's own SC2. But you don't even have to spend $100. I just bought a S&W66 that came with a Bianchi OWB and it's a wonderful fairly cheap holster. So to return to your example, a .50 cent condom is fine as long as you expect the bare minimum, but if you require magnum size, the miniscule amount more you will spend to assure that it does not fail and resultingly forever alter your life for the worse, you'll be better off.
