Question about "re-holstering" an IWB

If given a choice to spend some extra cash for a holster that allows easier reholstering, I'll spend the extra. Not because I think I'll need it in an emergency, but difficulty reholstering discourages practicing the draw, which is not a good thing.
 
So you're going to stand there with you gun pointed downrange in your dominant hand, reach around your body and get the holster off your body with your weak hand, re-holster, then re-insert the gun and holster in your belt...and this is better somehow?
 
Like others, I see no need for super-fast and easy reholstering - for a civilian. However, for an LE officer it's a whole different story. They need to be able to reholster quickly and with one hand. The other hand may be holding a radio, a bad guy, or cuffs.
 
Reholstering in an effective manner is another aspect of carrying a firearm....your threat may disappear and your recovery, and reduction of alarm to innocent bystanders is an important aspect.

I would not want to be fumbling with a holster in either aspect....smooth delivery ....smooth recovery....just a thought....
 
It should be a thought and one should be able to reholster in some sort of timely fashion. At some point...we are experiencing marketing. Make sure you toss out your pmags now that the Gen3 mags are out.
 
After having some experience with IWB, I don't see why you can't be proficient at re-holstering as much as drawing.

I think it's part of the practice to draw proficiently, but put away effectively as well - no fumbling with holster but should be able to smoothly holster the weapon w/o trouble. I think it should be part of safety practice for CCW in IWB.

Having said that, I don't think holstering more "quickly" is of any benefit or hold much importance. Holstering effortlessly but with care is important, which can be achieved with repeated practice.
