This is better than not being armed at all, but not much. Retention holster, slows you down and is still easily defeated from the rear. I do like the deep cutaway in the front to allow early rotation but your hip rock is going to be sloppy because your grip is going to be compromised by the having to depress the latch.
Hammer down? If it's on an empty chamber it's going to take two hands to rack the slide. Can't do it one handed with Novak sight. If it's hammer down on a live round you're going to have to thumb cock it after your slow ass draw. Maybe not the best example.
