Regarding vest-mounted holsters, I have two concerns. First, it's easy to muzzle yourself or someone else while drawing. Second, it's hard to train with them, as most ranges understandably won't permit their use.
I read somewhere that it takes one thousand reps to bring a pistol drawstroke into muscle memory. As with any new holster, train with it extensively so that you can draw smoothly and safely every time.
I do not like any holster that routinely muzzles other people. Just a horrible idea safety wise.
And yet, done daily by our troops. It's extremely difficult to pull your pistol when it's on a thigh holster while in a vehicle. So probably not as dangerous as you fear?
I've looked at US Palm, but I think DW is nixing it currently (thinking it belongs to a hair-brain, TEOTWAKI-seeking, SHTF-monster). However, I've got a cousin that's LA Sheriff - he says he'll keep an eye out for a level IIa that they use, once one gets retired. I figure DW can't argue with "free."
