Sorry to hijack, but you should get a high quality holster with some good retention.

What do you carry?

When my mom found out the other day about my decision to OC more than CC from now on, her main concern that she expressed to my dad and I was that it would make someone might try to grab it. Luckily that's all. I still live at home since I work with/for my dad, so the only family that really knows right now is the immediate family. My dad's opinion to the situation is that I should look into getting a nice leather one instead of just a vinyl one. He's pretty supportive of it though and seems to even be a little impressed with my decision.
If you are going to OC, then you owe it to yourself and others to acquire a good retention holster. My personal recommendation is the Blackhawk Serpa. Give it some serious thought.

The Serpa's look and seem really cool and all. However I have a Walther P22 and a Beretta 9000 with the Beretta being the primary carry choice. And there don't seem to be many if any holsters made for the Beretta, especially from the Serpa section. If you have any other suggestions. That'd be awesome.

For the Beretta look at http://www.cowboyneeds.com/Holsters_for_Beretta_9000S-3.5.html
Google Beretta 9000 holster got others.

Both Fobus and Galco make holsters for your Walther.

Its just a matter of looking at what is available and making your choice
