The 5.11 velcro holster does an excellent job of holding the gun securely in the vest pocket.
I also agree that it's a poor place for a primary weapon because:
1. Even a light, compact gun like a snubby .38 makes the vest feel distinctly "unbalanced" to the wearer.
2. If you wear it unfastened in front as many do, the side with the gun "hangs" differently when you bend or move.
3. Drawing the gun quickly is a nonstarter. It's a two handed operation - one to hold the edge of the vest still so your other hand can pry apart the velcro closure and reach in for the gun. Without a hand to stabilize the vest, drawing one handed is not a quick operation.
I think the holster pocket is better used to hold your wallet or some other item you'd rather keep concealed. YMMV.
