Since your belt gives retention you should have your belt comfortably snug. I have played and played with mine and it is very hard to remove unless I unbuckle my belt.Since we have brought this thread to the top I will also interject an opinion. I agree with penismightier. There is a CHANCE that the holster can slip off the belt since it is only clipped over it. I know the chance is slim but it still makes me nervous. If the loops were full there would be ZERO chance of that happening
