      Proper Knife Carry

      I carry my knife clipped to my strongside pocket as described. If an attacker grabs my gun hand, I’ll let go of the gun – by that time it will be empty anyway. The attacker will have already survived a minimum of 10 center-mass .40 cal personal protection rounds (if I haven’t reloaded), and the pistol at that point is a paperweight.

      Proper Knife Carry

      This could be a valid point if you carry OWB like you are or most instructors/officers/military do, but most civilians that carry do so with IWB for concealed carry. In this instance the defender would not present arms till ready to use so the attacker should really never know they have a CCW. Also with IWB you don’t have the holster on the outside covering your access to your draw side pocket. Just an observation.
