Opinions on Thigh / Drop-leg Holsters

Something Ive noticed since I bought my gun is that there appears to be a resentment towards thigh holsters.

I bought my pistol primarily as a hunting sidearm. My experience with revolvers in belt holsters was that the holster always in the way and i would strike the weapon with my elbow when walking. It was unconfortable and, personally, I couldnt reach the gun easily.

I bought a UTG thigh holster; adjustable with quick connect. After some minor adjustments, it holds the gun firmly and securely and well out of elbow range. Also, the holster does not ride or shift positions when walking and is fairly comfortable to wear. And with a little practice, I have been able to quickly draw the gun and put it on target.

Is it just my imagination or is there some resistance to using drop-leg holsters. Personally, I prefer them to belt-rigs.

Thoughts or comments?

I think as long as they serve a significant purpose such as use while hunting/riding 4 wheelers etc. or you actually have a line of work that requires something like a drop leg because of body armor...fine, thats one thing. If you drank the tactikool-aide and OC with one or something similar because you think it gives you some sort of tactical edge or makes you look cool or whatever, that is a different thing.
