We were taught weapon retention
Be aware of your surroundings, if at all possible keep your back to walls or at least out of aisle when sitting. Keep weapon bladed away from others you don't know. (fancy law enforcement terminology for turn weapon side away from threat)
If someone does do a gun grab - clamp both hands on top of theirs, drop down and spin while stepping away. This leans them over and tilts them forward at the same time. If your aware of which hand they are using spin toward their thumb. Its the weakest part of the grip. You will spin right out the thumb side.
That being said practice, practice and make it muscle memory, clamp down-drop&spin-while steping away. I believe you will have quite a bit of success.

Oh yea retention holsters can be popped by those who know what they are doing like criminals. Street thugs or drunks you might have a chance. Friction holsters anyone has a shot at it.
