Really?!?!?
Assuming you are awake enough to maintain enough SA to keep someone from just lifting that antique off you before you know what has happened.
For the record, carry what handgun in what holster suites you. But maybe a little less bravado from the guy who has admitted to multiple lapses in SA leading to potential grabs of his firearm.

Maybe a little less bravado from someone who enjoys baiting and posting cryptic personal insults, based loosely on a couple things that happened in the past.
I'm employed by a petroleum-extraction company, and twice a year, I am sent, along with various numbered groups of people to Canada, and a couple different latin-american nations, where I work to maintain, and inspect oil-extraction devices for the company who owns them. Being a gay guy who is used to relying on firearms for self-defense and deterrence, then being put in a place where personal firearms are non-existent, is a complicated and personally 'changing' experience, but hey, the money's good, and it's how and where I met my BF! Anyway, I took some of my sign-on bonus money, and invested it in personal protection and hand-to-hand combat training, from a professional training company here in the states. I can say with 110% guarantee, that my SA has improved a hundred-fold, and I also learned how to defend myself without using a firearm, so now when I'm state-side, I honestly don't OC as much as I used to, but when I do, it's mostly for looks and to support the 2A. But that being said, I feel 100% confident that I can carry a firearm without any retention, or safety-strap, and feel confident enough that I can disarm, and dissuade anyone who even attempts to make a go at my sidearm
.
I know I didn't have to go into the personal background there, but I felt it needed to kinda redeem myself for my past SA failures. I personally recommend anyone, who has a few grand laying around, to invest in Close-Quarters Combat/Defense training with any professional company that provides such to civilians. And I consider such knowledge to be on the same platform of Open Carry; You may never, ever, have to remove your firearm from it's holster [except at the range, or to clean it], but in the off-chance that you DO, it's worth every penny and ounce of your life to know what to do, and how to do it, to stop ANY threat that may arise.
[On a more amusing and humorous note, despite being an EMT in the past, I had no idea that a light strike to even the throat, ears, or nose, could severely, or even fatally, end any threat presented to you. I can give a link to the company I used for training, but only in PM and on request, as I don't want to be mod'd for advertising.]
[Also, someone call the burn-ward, cuz UTBagger just got BURNED!]
