Glenn,
I have the Fobus Roto-paddle for my Ruger p94. I love it! It is considerably more comfortable than a shoulder rig or belt holster, as it doesn't transfer all of the weight to your belt or your neck. Don't worry about the retention. I had my brother put it on to learn how to draw from it, and then put it back on and had him try to take it. He couldn't, even after knowing how to draw from it.
Myfobus paddle holsterhave a detent in the trigger well that provides retention. Because of the shape, it must be drawn in a straight line from the holster with a 'snappy' kind of motion. It took me about 15-20 draws to get comfortable, and about 50 more to get proficient. I have since learned that some of them have SERPA - type release buttons, but they don't make that model for my ruger.
A word of warning, the Kydex plastic that it is made of will rub the finish on most pistols. I don't worry about mine, as it's composite and all, but if you have a stainless or blued weapon, it will show wear. Some people have had success putting moleskin at the wear points, but you will have to get a little wear to find them.
By the way, welcome to OCDO! Hope you stick around!
Respectfully,
Pol
