Is there a retention strap for the pistol aside from the large cover flap? That is, when the top is opened up is there a thumb break snap or similar?

yes but it is sewn in as a lift strap rather than a thumb break. it is velcro backed and a rigger or saddle shop can modify or remake the strap exactly how you want thats what im going to do with mine cause i prefer thumb break i like this holster enough to order more of them but they will be modified

Yes, the one I have has an adjustable/ambidextrous retention strap. My 1911 & XD service pistols fit nicely in this holster. Hope this helps

No it actually has a snap lock and release for the pistol holster. The holster is Velcro attached to vest. Overall, the vest is awesome, I don't think you'll be disappointed with it. For all it has its a good investment.

1) a holster that will allow a vertical pass through (perpendicular to the belt opening).2) a holster that fits gun snugly Optional 3) a spare mag holder with security flapThere are many inexpensive holsters that will fit. I picked one up at a local gun show for $15 that works perfectly. I paid $5 more for a holster that had plastic reinforcements on the sides and front. Personal preference...it makes it easier to slide pistol in and out. I have it setup for a 1911, so spare mag is near mandatory.

There is a short "rail" on the bottom, right in front of the trigger, which is standard for after-market attachments. My son just ordered this (Umarex USA Walther PPQ (CO2) Accessory Rail) which connects to the bottom rail and wraps around to make a longer accessory rail for the top.

Scott, I must be one of the lucky few who did not have to adjust the retention screw. It fit my XD 40 sub compact perfectly right out of the package with no adjustment to retention. Grip, turn, draw, just as advertised. Don

Yes, it has a flip-over velcro top cover that can be removed entirely if you want it out of the way for range day.

it is both Velcro and snap. first you snap it then the Velcro strap goes over it. no chance of any gun falling out. you can cut off the Velcro strap if you don't want it but it is not removable once you snip it its gone. I usually tuck the Velcro strap behind my belt when im at the range, and only use the snap closure. it is very easy to unsnap one handed and draw. the closure straps are adjustable and can even be flipped for ambidextrous use.

Friction fit sleeve that's open at the top. My remington fit snug and I doubt it would fall out even during a full-out run. Pistol grip sits right at the opening. I looked at many, pretty happy I picked this one.

I'm assuming you want the opening to stay open after you draw your pistol, correct?The answer is yes, but not much. The top (opening) has double leather layers, which helps it to stay open. But it's leather and there's only so much leather can do.

It's a simple thumb tap...tight enough to hold the pistol securely, but comes apart with little effort. I use paddle holsters without thumb straps because I can't stand them, but for this I don't mind it.

Yes there is a square flap that velcros on the top.this is my favorite for carrying my SW .380 Body Guard

It is a two step process. You push with a thumb then pull the top release clip down. Once the locking clip is down, the spring loaded top flips open. It took me a few tries to master the technique, now it's just second nature.

just looked at mine again. Mine does not have room for the extended mag. The lid/flap will not close.

I believe it is either attached by another snap or velcro on the other, unseen side. At any rate, the strap can be taken completely off, which I have done with mine. I actually don't use this holster much as I usually carry my gun concealed in different, inside-the-pant type of holster.

I dug it out and looked at the tag. I have the ultimate arm sling by Joplin orthodox gear and it has a thumb loop. It really made a difference.

No. I also need to add the snap on mine broke. It's not a big issue for me since I don't need it to snap closed, but it still should have lasted considering I barely used the snap. Still worth the $17 though

There are several snap down methods, your gun won't fall out. I am very satisfied with the vest and holster. I am 6'2 and 250lbs.
