About a decade ago when I was getting into handguns I bought a drop leg holster, thinking they were cool. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t like it. I wanted to. I had invested my own money into it and it wasn’t cheap.
When I joined the military I was issued one. Again, I tried to make it work. I hate spending my own money if the issued item does the job. I ended up ordering a Safariland belt holster with a drop adapter shipped to Iraq and never looked back.
Things I hated about them:
Longer reach to the gun
Inconsistent draw due to holster shifting or leg position, the gun is a moving target
Running with three pounds bouncing on your leg
Chafing/comfort
Frigging straps and buckles everywhere
A good belt holster fixed all of the above.

You got me on the running thing for sure! I don't spend a lot of time running the mountains so I don't worry about it, but it does get a bit floppy when I run.
