I had a bit of an awkward situation this weekend. Near the end of Mass, as I'm walking towards the communion line, I feel something sliding down the back side of my pants. I've been carrying using an Alien Gear holster, IWB. I wear it on the right hand side, just past the 4 o'clock position. The outer belt clip had somehow worked itself over the belt, and now it was taking on a very uncomfortable cant. It was still anchored by the belt clip closest to the small of my back. I assume it worked loose while I was kneeling, and I neglected to notice until I stood up.
I've been wearing this holster for about five years now, and I've never had this happen before. This holster and I have always worked together extremely well until this incident. Thankfully, the retention was solid and nothing dropped out. I covered my cheek with my right hand, took a quick turn into the next pew, and discreetly made my way to the gentleman's room where I reassembled myself. No one at Mass made any comment. Not even my own family seemed to notice my unexpected absence. Word to the wise - always wear a sport coat where appropriate.
I'm not sure what to do until I can regain confidence with this holster. I've been wearing it for nearly five years, and never had a malfunction. I do use the "standard" belt clips which were supplied when I purchased it, but I'm thinking perhaps I need to replace those with the O style clips.
