[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 2900948, member: 5316"] "Shooting at the range"? or "Training" Yes, going to the local range where you cannot draw from a holster and laying it on the table after you are done should not cause a problem. Real training where you are drawing from a holster and firing rounds is a different animal. And that is what we all should be doing. I've attended 35+ instructor led training classes in the past 18 months. In all cases the guns were holstered almost intermediately after shooting a drill. I used an IWB holster in many of those classes, in some cases drawing from actual concealment as I would have to in a self-defense situation. Those drills were anywhere from 1 to 15+ rounds but on average 5-8 per string of fire. I wouldn't want that hot muzzle against my leg or crotch. I've brushed my arm against the muzzle end of the slide of a slide through OWB holstered gun several minutes after a session and it will get your attention in a hurry. If you are involved in a self defense shooting you are going to want to holster the gun as soon as the threat is cleared. My vote is still for a full coverage holster when used IWB. [/QUOTE]
