I'm planning on getting a new holster for my KJW M229, but I've had some trouble deciding between a hard and a soft holster. I know most of you will recommend the hard hoslter, but for the M229 I could only find one, the G-Code holster:

I also would like a drop leg mount over a belt or paddle: www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_102_456_459&products_id=8804
But the main problem is that both of those items combined are going to be about $90 including shipping, and being a 15 year old without disposable income really doesn't help (please don't tell me to get a job- I've heard it before). So in that case I'd cheap out and go for a soft holster, like so: www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=11750
The problem is that is that I've heard that soft holsters press the mag release button on the pistol and you lose your magazines. That really discourages me from the soft holster, but my current setup is far from ideal: a molle soft holster strapped on to the top left of my vest in a sort of "crossdraw" fashion; I despise that because I have to reach across and open the velcro from under my rifle strap and so on...it's just cumbersome, slow, and loud. The hard hoslter seems the best for fast draw and quietness, but it's too expensive. Basically, what I'm asking you guys is are there any cheaper M229 hard hosters or how bad are soft holsters? Thanks.
