In training classes? Sure, but that doesn't reflect normal reality. Retention skills are good to learn, but CCW holders getting in retention battles is extremely rare.

So IMO we have to weigh vanishingly rare risks vs other, more commonplace considerations, namely that a lot of really good holsters don't come with retention, and also vs other rare risks such as having to access the holstered gun with the weak hand.
