Sounds like he needs some good training to teach him more about drawing to a threat. My buddy sells holsters, LE gear and all sorts of fun stuff. I noticed today he was carrying in a cheap nylon rig (even though he owns 4-5 nice holsters for every gun he owns).

Lima - If I may ask, what holster was the this guy using?

Just curious.....

I'm getting a vision of gecko 45 mall security guard,I bet that $5.00 holster was on an airsoft display somewhere that had Tactical and Swat emblazoned all over the package.It may be the safest holster for everybody within range of this guy,if he blames a gun for shooting high due to barrel pointing up when cycling.

It sounds like the guy was carrying a FOBUS GLT17 holster. Injection molded plastic that is really only suited for range use, and more or less worthless for that if you are trying to build a repetitive draw stroke. Try doing some retention training with one some time. It probably won't survive the practice session. This particular model already had one recall due to some unintentional discharges caused when the end of the strap caught in some trigger guards during re-holstering.

Still, the holster wasn't the real problem there....

BTW, Lima -

you didn't happen to hear which model Taurus he was complaining about did you? It would be perfect if it was a 92 or similar, as the barrel doesn't even tip.

I worked in a gun shop for about three years. I miss the guns, and I miss my coworkers, but I don't miss some of the customers...

Lima... if that ever happens again, you've gotta stop what you're doing and say...

"Man, that is a cool holster you got there... what kind is it and can I see it?"

If for no other reason than to report back here! Now I'm really curious as to what the heck he was carrying that gun in!

It was a modified martian particle ray destructor holster

I was curious too, but I never did get a good look at it.

It was molded plastic so it wouldn't surprise me if it was Fobus or Uncle Mike's. Some of their stuff is okay but some of it makes me shake my head while scratching it and thinking, "What in the name of all that is holy?"

This was one of those times.

Jeff, I'll have to look up that holster online and see if that was, indeed, it. I don't think it was the 92 he was complaining about. I think it was the PT145 or one of the 24/7 series.

Which is absolutely hilarious because he did come back yesterday and he was leaving just as I was coming back from lunch and I saw he had bought a gun. I went over and looked at his paperwork and guess what he bought?....

A Taurus.

Talk about taking over a thread!!

Regarding the earlier comment about switching to an internal laser, I tried out the internal laser on a G21. It worked OK, but the extended slide lock used to switch it on and off hung up on my Comp-Tac kydex holsters. Too easy for the laser to be switched on in the holster and exhaust the battery.
