I was wearing an IWB holster with no retention features (other than the pressure provided by my belt), this morning. When I was unfastening my pants in the bathroom, I suddenly heard a loud thud, a fraction of a second after my belt got lighter. I didn't see how it hit, but my P11 landed on a layer of linoleum, over a layer of Sturdifloor plywood, over 2by lumber decking, over 4x12 beams (old barn construction, converted to a house). The floor is hard, and has no 'give' to it. The drop was from waist height (I'm 6 foot). The Golden Saber in the chamber had a very slight mark on the primer, when I inspected the P11 after the drop.
That's the last time I will use that holster. I'll put up with the additional bulk of my other holster, in exchange for the added retention.
I've been thinking about getting the Wolff recoil spring kit, and also doing the paperclip mod to the hammer spring. Would the Wolff extra power firing pin spring cause any problems with the lighter hammer spring tension?
