Do you believe it is a good choose to have a non retention holster open carrying, meaning anything less than a level 2 or at least a thumb snap

I prefer to use serpa's because they have active retention, but sometimes you just can't. Only one company (bladtech) even makes a holster for my FNP .45. After carrying for a while in it, I am more than comfortable carrying without any active retention. I can turn that thing upside down and shake it and it takes a damn bit of force to get that thing to fall out. And it's heavy.

I'm comfortable with it. However I would carry it in a serpa if they made one.

I prefer to OC with at least a thumb snap. My normal OC is a Bianchi accumold. It has a thumb snap and a 5(ish)lb retention pull on it.

Not to say it's a bad gun by any means, would just prefer something else for carry.

Walker doesn't use active retention. The only time his weapon falls on the ground is when he throws it there to bare-knuckle the bad guys 5 on 1.
