Try being a lefty...
Strange...
All of this FOBUS bashing...
I have a couple of FOBUS paddles in the gear room...
The one thing I noticed when they were new to me was they were hard to draw. That was until I called them, and they said to draw in a "snatch" fashion.
Now the gun comes out buttery smooth

I really don't have a problem with FOBUS holsters; they are what they are.
I have a few that were very tight in the beginning, but eased up sufficiently with use.
I just bought one for my new J frame snubby that's a bit tight. Just as an experiment, I may drill out the FOBUS rivet closest to the triggerguard, insert a rubber/plastic washer between the two holster halves at that point and replace the rivet with an appropriate screw and nut. Voila... a FOBUS with adjustable tension. Would I trust it for CCW? Probably, but you may not.

I will never, ever, EVER carry a Fobus holster again.
I can attribute one of the most frightening experiences of my life to the use of a Fobus holster. I'd practiced with the thing for months and it failed to release at a crucial moment. Had someone been a little more sober, had they been a better shot, or if I hadn't run like the devil was after me, I wouldn't be here now.
