@@benjaminstevens8641 that is interesting, as I wouldn't peg him for it given the general aura of how he comes across. That said- that's a much different operating environment and rules of engagement as opposed to the sort of thing most people are apt to come across on the home front- making much of the training either rather inapplicable or something that will likely land you in prison. Being the reason that military credentials don't impress me anywhere near as much as civilian law enforcement credentials.

Outside the waistband appendix carry. My cousin's, roommate's best friend's girlfriend from third grade had a special education teacher who had a one night stand with a guy from CAG and that's how all the elite operators operate operationally......
That thumb guard is also useful for if your issued duty vest comes right down to your beltline. Without it, lots of guys (including me) have had their vests "unsnap" their safariland holster hoods as you sit/stand/move about. You have to constantly be checking to see if you're unsnapped. G-Code has a great holster platform called the mule- it's a drop-leg that's only a little lower than a midride. Basically just a midride with a pivot point, and a single leg strap for the Han Solo look in case you need to shoot first if you're sitting at a table or something. I also like the idea of modular mounting point, not to change holsters but to put the same holster on different platforms depending on what I'm doing. The G-Code/Mule is my go-to configuration when drilling for waifu pillow rescue. My par time is down to 9.8 seconds from start to Sayaka-chan safely extracted from the basement.
Thanks GT! Because of your recommendation for the Safari Land with ALS, I bought one for my new Glock 19X in a similar color. I really like and practice drawing several times a day from all sorts of positions. Before, for my older Ruger P85, I could only get a Serpa for it. I'm not in a service or LEO but it worked for me. A lot of practice drawing there also. Anyway, I always enjoy the subtle humor (sometimes not so subtle) you inject into your videos.
Your understated "dry" delivery is priceless! I don't know if it's natural or trained, but you are damn talented. Great stuff! Also, kudos on not hard knocking airsofters and/or trying to chase mall-ninjas away. I never understood why some folks are so dang hostile to the wannabe fanbase. Classy move on your part! Way to be the DK Books of TactiCool... TactiCool? TactiAwesome! GOSERE!
Personally own a holster for my CZ P07 from an Israeli company that I never even knew existed until I bought it: Front Line. It's a belt/paddle, thumb-snap holster with adjustable passive retention screws and is made from an interesting assembly of materials that make for a surprisingly remarkable home for my pistol. An outer layer of kydex is loosely molded to the dimensions of your pistol, followed by a layer of nylon, then a more exact molding of PVC, and lastly, a suede lining. They call this weird conglomeration of layers "KNG," or "Kydex New Generation." The suede lining has kept my CZ looking new with zero holster wear showing after nearly two years. The holster itself has shown no signs of damage. No jostling on the hip when running or doing other strenuous activity. Albeit, I do wear a stiff nylon belt, so that helps. And absolutely no wiggling of the pistol in the holster, whatsoever. The damned thing just works.
I've seen setups with TQ and compact IFAKs on a drop leg platform, I think its a good idea because if you're going to drop anything in an emergency it's more likely going to be your BA not your holster so in that situation you'd still be able to make and plug holes 👍 Personally I use a two strap drop leg much higher than you described. I know that when my arm is relaxed down my side then my hand drops straight onto my sidearm and clears any gear I've got. I find the belt and mid ride holsters more difficult to drive in too.
My department requires us to use state issue level 3 blackhawk SERPAs when we are on transport runs. There is no other option, unfortunately. The tactical team, gets to run whatever holster they want, and are encouraged to use level 1 stuff like regular kydex holsters. Probably the route I'm gonna go
Another Great vid, I love watching your vids & appreciate the wisdom your supplying. Keep up the humor in your vids Han Solo. I honestly don't know how you keep a straight face in the vids, but maybe you have a million outtakes for each vid you upload. Thanks again bro, I gotta go & watch this one again, to see what I missed while laughing.
I was thinking about what you were saying about milliseconds mattering, and when I equated it to the ADS (aim down sight) or sprint out time in call of duty, it started to make sense. When entering a gunfight, like you said, milliseconds matter, especially in CoD. Thanks Mike!
The best material for a holster is Peruvian beaver pelt. The best place to wear it is right above your your boomstick canted due south in direction towards your strong side. Mine has been embroidered with "Ive got your 6," its pretty much a guarantee to win in any gunfight with this system.
Drop leg holsters look Kool....and universally hang up in every vehicle mounted weapon system turrets....the fix is to mount your polymer holster to the top of your armor kit.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoy the videos and information. The really cool thing is that you're confirming all of the research and trial and error that I've done. Thank you.
Another reason for the Thumb Guard on that Safariland is to combat the "Parolee Chop" I've seen guys who have practiced dropping their hand pinky first onto the inside of the holster like a karate chop and they can disengage both the hood and ALS in one motion. Out of curiosity a couple buddies of mine tried it and found with little to no practice we could do it with a fair amount of ease on holsters without the thumb guard. I would STRONGLY recommend a thumbguard if you're using a holster with a hood and/or ALS especially if it's a duty holster. As usual excellent video keep up the good work.
The humor in these videos is great, honestly half the reason I watch them is to see who he throws crap at in each video. However, the information presented is definitely a reason to keep coming back as I have learned more about kit from these than from other videos or forums on facebook. It doesnt mean much though as I am just the lowly nerdsofter, and by God keep the jokes coming. Are you sure Haley is dad or just the original clone from which you were spawned?
Really enjoying the dry humor and constant amount of jokes at the beginning, but really appreciate the information about the different types of level retention holsters. I am kind of curious as to whether or not someone could use or mix certain products from T.Rex-Arms and G-Code and use them interchangeably. For example: would like to use the QLS system T.Rex-Arms offers, but have an RTI G-code holster system, while adding the leg strap. Kind of a lot to make a holster system work for mid-ride, but just some thoughts.
I have the safariland SLS for a 226 with surefire X300V. Had to take the flashlight cup out of the bottom to make it fit, but that "tactical fuzz" really hurt my draw so i pulled it out no problem. Now i love it.
I'd like to see a 25K subscriber special where Mike gets $500 and 15 minutes to get fully kitted at Walmart - because the idea him using a weight vest as a chest rig suddenly amuses me. He then must go Airsoft with randomly chosen subscribers.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, but you are mistaken about the ALS hood. It is actually intended to be used as a seatbelt retention device when getting in and out of the car.
I will come out and say that I am primarily an airsofter (though I am starting an interest in the real-steel stuff, and trying to shed weight for the Army), and I have practiced drawing a Glock replica from a Cytac-branded Serpa knockoff numerous times; the Cytac holster has a larger paddle with a lot of it resting above the trigger guard area. So with this practice, I've gotten to the point where my finger is sitting on the frame of the pistol well above the trigger guard by the time my pistol is free from the holster. With all of that being said, I was turned well away from paddle-type holsters after last weekend at a pickup game (just an open pay-n-play, nothing big like MilSimWest or Lion Claws). One player on my team was running a Serpa for his 1911 replica, and eventually had his pistol jammed in the holster when some dirt got into the paddle mechanism. Needless to say, that was all I needed to decide against ever using paddle holsters in field conditions, whether airsoft or real-steel in the future.
Thanks for all of your videos. This one really helped me understand what's out there for duty type holsters, which I've been really wondering about here lately.
Learher bianchi outside the waist holster for the 1911; be sure to get the thumb break/snap. That keeps the firearm securely on your hip and will retain said firearm as you move....as for drop leg holsters, well every year we had at least a couple guys shoot themselves trying to learn quick draw.
So if you’ve come to the comment section looking for advice on the mid ride holster, I’d say just go for it. I’ve been using the mid ride for the past two years in comp and woods carry, I highly recommend.
I've used a both a SERPA style and a Safariland ALS holster. When using the SERPA, I would always draw so my finger landed on the slide above the trigger guard. It was pretty ingrained and felt natural. However, I would never recommend it for two far worse reasons: First, If you had to hit the dirt ( or sand, or snow) before drawing and any sand, mud, or snow gets behind that button, your release is jammed and drawing is impossible. Second, and this actually happened to me, that little button's pin worked itself out and the button fell off the holster. I had to find it and reattach it before I could get my weapon out. Far too unreliable for an EDC. Then I bought the Safariland and it was love at first draw! It is the smoothest, most natural draw with great retention! I would highly recommend this to anyone.
I had a spectre gear style holster made by TAG, used it all the way till 2012, pretty good holster for my needs and when i drew it took the "saftey decocker " on the m9 off for me
My department uses the safari land 070. After disengaging the thumb break and middle finger break snaps you have to rock the gun backwards. It's probably the most secure retention holster ever.
Thanks for the next great Video! I use the holster issued by my departement, a Safariland SLS with great effect. Safariland also offers a ride between high and mid and thats perfekt. I've got my holster outfitted with a hood guard which mostly prevents my jacket from falling over the holster For the next time I would love a video on IFAKs. Here more and more officers get their own IFAK for duty due to recent terror attacks! Greetings from Germany!
I would love to see a video about conceal carry options & holsters. I went ahead and took your advice and bought a Sidecar from T-Rex Arms, hopefully it'll work well for me. Still waiting on it though. Keep up the good work, love your vids!
One of the problems I ran into with a drop leg holster in Iraq 2003 was re holstering on the move with zero time to re-snap the retention. My M9 fell out crossing a street in HIT Iraq during a fire fight, that sucked! I got rid of the drop leg holster after that. Also sucked trying to run! How about a Video on camo? I like the camo on your MK18
I used to use a drop leg holster for hunting because it kept my pistol clear of my pack and winter coats. Over time I found that on long hikes into my hunting spot, it would actually pull my hips out of alignment. Walking out at the end of the day was usually very uncomfortable.
If you use the SERPA correctly and train with it, I don't think there is a problem. If you use it incorrectly, then any bad things that happen are on you. I went away from the SERPA, due to the possibility of debris getting into the locking mechanism preventing it from releasing the pistol. I have been using a Blackhawk Omnivore for a few months. It is mounted on a thigh platform and I wear it high with one strap. It locks on a TLR1 and basically any gun with the light fits. They also have a model that works with any gun with a rail and any gun with a Surefire light. I like the idea of a multigun holster. I think it is another good alternative.
I still use the SERPA for my 1911 and Sig P226. Like you said it takes training and many reps to be comfortable with it as a duty holster. From personal experience I wore the SERPA for my Springfield 1911 as a duty holster while working for a weekly/monthly apartment complexes here in Las Vegas NV. One company I started working for after my old manager who got canned from the one I got hired originally had called me to join her in the new company she started to work for. Reason was she liked that I was always showed up for work and on time and did not mind how dangerous the kind of shit that weekly/monthly apartments are and being a veteran combat infantryman from service in Iraq for 3 tours. I showed up for work during a graveyard shift in a new company and complex which was filled with thugs, drug dealers, pimps etc. like before. So I was introduced to the manager of the complex and gave me a briefing about the place and pointed out all the thugs present and gave me the office keys before he went home. I then patrolled the area and I had problems with a pimp/drug dealer from the start on the first night on shift. After trying to get him off property numerous times, he then confronted me because I was new to the place and told me that he was first going to kick my ass and kill me. I first was suspicious and then a few seconds later he attacked me. I first used my pepper spray then baton which both didn't work because this guy was 6,5 football player size and high. My Leprechaun ass at 5,6, 180 LBS fought UFC style with this monster of a guy for almost 10 minutes because pepper spray and being hit hard with a steel baton had no effect on him. He got me pinned down on a "Bulldog" which I could not use my arms no matter how I tried to get out of it and nearly blacked me out. Somehow I managed to puff up and keep myself alive from being squeezed out of breath and pass out. Lucky he got tired and moved his left arm and kept me locked by locking his arm with his right and managed to breathe again from under him. I then looked down and saw my 1911 on my SERPA holster on my right side and drew it quick and put the muzzle close to his chest and said "Get the fuck off me now!". I then got a negative reply of "Fuck you! You are dead motherfucker!". I then took the safety off and squeezed a round into his chest. I saw no flash from my muzzle but heard a crash of two heavy anvils smashing together like a very loud ping. The muzzle and slide of my 1911 was very close to my face like 5 inches approximately when I squeezed my round off. He then dropped on my head planting my face into the parking lot asphalt hard. I rolled him off quickly to put another round into him but I did not take another shot because he looked like he fell asleep after being shot once from a .45 ACP Glaser Blue tip round. Then the pepper spray which I was covered in took effect a few seconds later to almost shut my eyes for other threats and burned like hell because I used my entire can on this monster. After looking around from what little I could see that none of his buddies were around to attack me. I then got 911on my phone and a policeman arrived in what I thought was 5 minutes and helped me quick. I was covered in my own pepper spray and could hardly see for 5 hours. I was interviewed by Metro Police and detectives for the next 4 hours. The detectives and officers treated me with respect and kindness because I was in pain. I suffered a few bruises and a bite on from the guy on my right arm. The paramedics treated me first and they put the monster in a gurney and rolled him off with no lights flashing. I finished the interview with the detectives and were satisfied of what I told them and was released from custody 9 hours later. My 1911 and duty belt plus accessories were taken from me for evidence. Then all asked me about my SERPA holster? Reason was my pistol didn't fall out during the wrestling and UFC style rolling fight and shooting him when I did have a chance. I told them that it is a good holster when I keep the release clean and tighten the retention screw for maximum retention before I put it on for work. Honestly that was hell when you have to fight anyone hand to hand and shoot them in a tight spot. I was lucky to survive because most security guards like me and law enforcement guys never been to combat and feel the mode how to survive. Security and law enforcement are trained differently from Infantrymen. In Infantry the training is kill or be killed. But being in security we have to follow the Force Continuum like ROE (Rules of Engagement) for the civilian world. This could have ended quickly if I had decided to use the military ROE way and not end up getting bitten by this cock sucker. I did the security guard/law enforcement Force Continuum way which almost cost me my life. Bottom line is the SERPA did me good as far as retention and quick access when you understand how to employ it.
Are you sure this happened?... I know that these happens but 6.5 Height and too much detail compared how traumatizing that situation is, i Know! ... Anyway if its true,Sad thing to both of You 😔😥🙏🙏🏽
@@sovereignstate6760 I'm glad he survived as well. I do think he's somewhat confused one the LE roe aspects as they so many times kill a man 1st and ask questions later, many times just make something up, plant evidence/s and or manufacturer the details to fit the outcome. Fortunately citizens always filming police (preferably life streaming yes life not live streaming) along with body cameras if they don't destroy, erase, mute, obscure or just take off etc etc.. The camera bringing a honest to GOD honest witness into these equations is having quite a chilling effect on bully's, tyrant's criminal blue line gang murdering as a whole, and we're thankful for that. We almost lost this country... Almost. Likewise thankfully now constitutional carry gaining momentum in now the majority of state's, we can protect ourselves as citizens from all the monster's and not just the one's the flag desecrating blue line organizations report and display in their promo stories for garnering more funding and authority over the people they've no obligation to protect such as Uvaldi for example. Supreme Court rulings finally seeing thing's more clearly lately is a tremendous positive for the citizenry as a whole. The more of us law abiding, constitutionm, constitutional amendment's loving, GOD fearing red blooded patriotic Americans out there along with those few, the proud and brave honest police, helping to do what's true and just, can aid in putting a stop to the murdering criminals. Criminals of all kind's crossing the border every day now plus what's hidden in plain sight all across this country. Everyone has a responsibility to look out for our friends, family and neighbors in helping those good police from being victimized because of the dirty one's. A good guy always stops the bad guy when they can if properly allowed to when their hands aren't tied down by globalist' self proclaimed elite' that have through org. Like the atf etc, been terrorizing and criminalizing good men and women across this country and we've finally started to see the results of us having had been saying some time now, "Enough!" We love and support you officer's" veterans and patriots alike who love our country and it's founding documents in ensuring we all have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We got to encourage and support the goid police who don't turn their head like the other 8 did when the 9th cop violated someone's civil rights! The 1 good apple outs that corrupt pos terrorist and gets their ass reprimanded and a career change when necessary after enough of it. That 1 great cop out of 10, well those other 8 saw him or her do the right thing instead of group think complicity. That's how we empty the rotting barrels of apple's across this nation, you good apple's stop lining the top disguising the stench underneath that thin blue line of who really is good, please...We are counting on you. GOD knows we the people don't want to have to right this whole motherfucker ourselves and nor is it even possible without commendable leadership. Stay golden good guy's, you shit bird's otherwise know we're fucking watching that ass so help us and quit fucking around harassing citizens, extorting and corruption because it really would be nice if you'd join the good side for our country's and children's sake if nothing else. GOD bless everyone. Overturn Terry v Ohio, Qualified immunity and PA. V Mimms while we're at it, we gotta fix this shit people it's gotta keep getting better, all aboard🇱🇷🇺🇲.
Big fan of the single strap. In Afghanistan I was issued a serpa drop leg and I took off the top strap and brought the whole thing higher. because it wiggled too much on my leg. I've got Safariland holsters now and I love them so much more. Used to be a serpa fanboy... those were dark times.
Bravo-Zulu!! Im a big fan of G-code holsters and I was able to pick up nib old stock ggcode that was done under Eagle Tactical before GCode was its own brand and I purchased OSH holsters for my Glock, Sig 226, hk usp and m9 for 9 to15 dollars per, SOC for the same pistols for 25 to 53 dollars per plus a bunch of mag pouches, rti adapters for thigh, molle and belt. I have been training with them for the last 3 years and they are far more superior to blackhawk, safariland and spectre holsters. The only issue that I have encountered with gcode is that the XST has an issue with Crimson trace laser units like the one for the springfield XDM and the Glock units but there is no issue with the SOC model and since I have try to keep my conceal carry with both crimson trace laser grps or grip area lasers and TLR-1 HL light system on the SOC allows continuity between both types of carry. During my time in the Navy (2003-2009) I did a TAD tour with ASF and learned what gear I should not waist my own money on. At that time the Blackhawk thigh serpa holster was the standard issue for security but I learned to dislike it because of the the way the straps were setup..
I've been using a safariland sls w/hood for 14 years in mid carry for duty. They're reliable but you HAVE TO DRILL on putting the hood back when re holstering. I've seen guys close to lose their guns after forgetting. I'm seriously considering on going sls+als, seems to be best of both worlds. Great content anyway 👍🏻.
A note on the ALS type holsters they are very very popular in sandy environments at least in my experience its prefered that I use them by my agancy and I live in a state with sand , its just something to think about that SLS canget jamed up rolling around in sand or small rocks , being said all mechanical devices can fail have a back up weapon
I think universal holsters a really great for people who are still figuring out what they like. Because they can try a bunch of different guns and different light combos without having to worry about buy a new holster for each setup
Mid ride holsters with the strap are my favorite, comfortable, perfect placement for draw, high speed as fuck lol! I despise standard drop leg holsters! Every time I'm issued them, I always deny, I'd rather carry a pistol in a M4 mag pouch then use one.
I run almost the same, I love my Safariland 7377 7TS ALS belt slide holster. The ALS is a slick retention system that doesn't slow my draw at all. Not a fan of the Hands Solo mid ride but it does look cooler than the belt slide. Another quality video! Keep up the outstanding work my flannel warrior! 😀🇱🇷🔫💗👍
9:00 Got the Blackhawk version, and another problem I've found is the switch on my THOT detector got pressed whilst holstering my weapon....ending in a very dead battery when I really needed to shine some light on the H.

That thumb guard is also useful for if your issued duty vest comes right down to your beltline. Without it, lots of guys (including me) have had their vests "unsnap" their safariland holster hoods as you sit/stand/move about. You have to constantly be checking to see if you're unsnapped.
G-Code has a great holster platform called the mule- it's a drop-leg that's only a little lower than a midride. Basically just a midride with a pivot point, and a single leg strap for the Han Solo look in case you need to shoot first if you're sitting at a table or something. I also like the idea of modular mounting point, not to change holsters but to put the same holster on different platforms depending on what I'm doing.

I really like and practice drawing several times a day from all sorts of positions. Before, for my older Ruger P85, I could only get a Serpa for it. I'm not in a service or LEO but it worked for me. A lot of practice drawing there also. Anyway, I always enjoy the subtle humor (sometimes not so subtle) you inject into your videos.
I always like the little jokes in between.
Always adds a flavor of silliness to your content I can't find elsewhere.
Your understated "dry" delivery is priceless! I don't know if it's natural or trained, but you are damn talented. Great stuff!
Also, kudos on not hard knocking airsofters and/or trying to chase mall-ninjas away. I never understood why some folks are so dang hostile to the wannabe fanbase. Classy move on your part!
Way to be the DK Books of TactiCool... TactiCool? TactiAwesome!
GOSERE!
Keep it up, You're no doubt the channel I look forward to after coming home from work.
My first duty holster came in the mail today. It is for my full size Walther PDP, it is from Walther's site model 35 it is a Level 3 retention.
Personally own a holster for my CZ P07 from an Israeli company that I never even knew existed until I bought it: Front Line.
It's a belt/paddle, thumb-snap holster with adjustable passive retention screws and is made from an interesting assembly of materials that make for a surprisingly remarkable home for my pistol. An outer layer of kydex is loosely molded to the dimensions of your pistol, followed by a layer of nylon, then a more exact molding of PVC, and lastly, a suede lining. They call this weird conglomeration of layers "KNG," or "Kydex New Generation." The suede lining has kept my CZ looking new with zero holster wear showing after nearly two years. The holster itself has shown no signs of damage.
No jostling on the hip when running or doing other strenuous activity. Albeit, I do wear a stiff nylon belt, so that helps. And absolutely no wiggling of the pistol in the holster, whatsoever.
The damned thing just works.
I've seen setups with TQ and compact IFAKs on a drop leg platform, I think its a good idea because if you're going to drop anything in an emergency it's more likely going to be your BA not your holster so in that situation you'd still be able to make and plug holes 👍
Personally I use a two strap drop leg much higher than you described. I know that when my arm is relaxed down my side then my hand drops straight onto my sidearm and clears any gear I've got.
I find the belt and mid ride holsters more difficult to drive in too.
My department requires us to use state issue level 3 blackhawk SERPAs when we are on transport runs. There is no other option, unfortunately. The tactical team, gets to run whatever holster they want, and are encouraged to use level 1 stuff like regular kydex holsters. Probably the route I'm gonna go
Another Great vid, I love watching your vids & appreciate the wisdom your supplying. Keep up the humor in your vids Han Solo. I honestly don't know how you keep a straight face in the vids, but maybe you have a million outtakes for each vid you upload. Thanks again bro, I gotta go & watch this one again, to see what I missed while laughing.
lots of outtakes for sure.
Flannel and a Flipped watch, grunge machine, spitting knowledge ... love your channel !!!! I’ll go ahead and drop myself! Continued success !!!
"We're becoming a military, LE, ehm...airsoft, mom's basement type of community"
Basically /k/ommandos
I was thinking about what you were saying about milliseconds mattering, and when I equated it to the ADS (aim down sight) or sprint out time in call of duty, it started to make sense. When entering a gunfight, like you said, milliseconds matter, especially in CoD. Thanks Mike!
The best material for a holster is Peruvian beaver pelt. The best place to wear it is right above your your boomstick canted due south in direction towards your strong side. Mine has been embroidered with "Ive got your 6," its pretty much a guarantee to win in any gunfight with this system.
Drop leg holsters look Kool....and universally hang up in every vehicle mounted weapon system turrets....the fix is to mount your polymer holster to the top of your armor kit.
Our department just made the switch from the Serpa to the Safariland SLS, no issues with it in my four years there but so glad we are modernizing.
Serpa indexes the finger above the trigger. Carried for years on and off duty. I agree...practice, practice, practice.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoy the videos and information. The really cool thing is that you're confirming all of the research and trial and error that I've done. Thank you.
Another reason for the Thumb Guard on that Safariland is to combat the "Parolee Chop" I've seen guys who have practiced dropping their hand pinky first onto the inside of the holster like a karate chop and they can disengage both the hood and ALS in one motion. Out of curiosity a couple buddies of mine tried it and found with little to no practice we could do it with a fair amount of ease on holsters without the thumb guard. I would STRONGLY recommend a thumbguard if you're using a holster with a hood and/or ALS especially if it's a duty holster.
As usual excellent video keep up the good work.
Content: 10/10 I can finally learn how to be an operator and take a dump at the same time! Now all I need is a good anime review
Your humor cracks me up in between the excellent info you put forth! Keep it up. Also, keep up the shooting video you interject.
The humor in these videos is great, honestly half the reason I watch them is to see who he throws crap at in each video. However, the information presented is definitely a reason to keep coming back as I have learned more about kit from these than from other videos or forums on facebook. It doesnt mean much though as I am just the lowly nerdsofter, and by God keep the jokes coming. Are you sure Haley is dad or just the original clone from which you were spawned?
I’ve been using the G-code XST. Couldn’t be happier. Best holster system I’ve ever owned.
Really enjoying the dry humor and constant amount of jokes at the beginning, but really appreciate the information about the different types of level retention holsters. I am kind of curious as to whether or not someone could use or mix certain products from T.Rex-Arms and G-Code and use them interchangeably. For example: would like to use the QLS system T.Rex-Arms offers, but have an RTI G-code holster system, while adding the leg strap. Kind of a lot to make a holster system work for mid-ride, but just some thoughts.
I have the safariland SLS for a 226 with surefire X300V. Had to take the flashlight cup out of the bottom to make it fit, but that "tactical fuzz" really hurt my draw so i pulled it out no problem. Now i love it.
I'd like to see a 25K subscriber special where Mike gets $500 and 15 minutes to get fully kitted at Walmart - because the idea him using a weight vest as a chest rig suddenly amuses me. He then must go Airsoft with randomly chosen subscribers.
2.42 Million subs later. 🔥
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, but you are mistaken about the ALS hood. It is actually intended to be used as a seatbelt retention device when getting in and out of the car.
I will come out and say that I am primarily an airsofter (though I am starting an interest in the real-steel stuff, and trying to shed weight for the Army), and I have practiced drawing a Glock replica from a Cytac-branded Serpa knockoff numerous times; the Cytac holster has a larger paddle with a lot of it resting above the trigger guard area. So with this practice, I've gotten to the point where my finger is sitting on the frame of the pistol well above the trigger guard by the time my pistol is free from the holster.
With all of that being said, I was turned well away from paddle-type holsters after last weekend at a pickup game (just an open pay-n-play, nothing big like MilSimWest or Lion Claws). One player on my team was running a Serpa for his 1911 replica, and eventually had his pistol jammed in the holster when some dirt got into the paddle mechanism. Needless to say, that was all I needed to decide against ever using paddle holsters in field conditions, whether airsoft or real-steel in the future.
Did you end up enlisting in the military?
Thanks for all of your videos. This one really helped me understand what's out there for duty type holsters, which I've been really wondering about here lately.
chest holster is the coolest looking way and looking cool is the most important thing
quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Thanks for your work.. and humour
By far the most informative, and well thought out videos that I've seen. Thanks for the solid info.
Congrats on your 20k!
What is your preference on secondary?
Learher bianchi outside the waist holster for the 1911; be sure to get the thumb break/snap. That keeps the firearm securely on your hip and will retain said firearm as you move....as for drop leg holsters, well every year we had at least a couple guys shoot themselves trying to learn quick draw.
can you do a vid about fitness and health? it seems kinda stupid but it's part of being able to be a combat keyboard warrior
That's what the 3 Jeffs are for, ie Cavelier, Nippard and Nichols
You're very welcome
So if you’ve come to the comment section looking for advice on the mid ride holster, I’d say just go for it. I’ve been using the mid ride for the past two years in comp and woods carry, I highly recommend.
I've used a both a SERPA style and a Safariland ALS holster.
When using the SERPA, I would always draw so my finger landed on the slide above the trigger guard. It was pretty ingrained and felt natural. However, I would never recommend it for two far worse reasons: First, If you had to hit the dirt ( or sand, or snow) before drawing and any sand, mud, or snow gets behind that button, your release is jammed and drawing is impossible. Second, and this actually happened to me, that little button's pin worked itself out and the button fell off the holster. I had to find it and reattach it before I could get my weapon out. Far too unreliable for an EDC.
Then I bought the Safariland and it was love at first draw! It is the smoothest, most natural draw with great retention! I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Great videos man! Really enjoy watching and learning. Keep up the great work!
Had to come back to this video cause I am setting up a duty belt and this was the best knowledge I could find. Thanks for the video
I'm not sure if it's these magic crayons but I still keep thinking "Godddamn! Bill Nye's kid is a freakin BAMF" at the beginning of these vids
Most practical video yet. Keep going down this path.
This is honestly my favourite gear channel.
I had a spectre gear style holster made by TAG, used it all the way till 2012, pretty good holster for my needs and when i drew it took the "saftey decocker " on the m9 off for me
My department uses the safari land 070. After disengaging the thumb break and middle finger break snaps you have to rock the gun backwards. It's probably the most secure retention holster ever.
Congrats on 20.000 Subscribers!
Love your content man! Thanks for taking the time to learn us some practical knowledge.
I have had a BLACKHAWK CQC drop my GLOCK just by being shaken upside down (NO MAGAZINE) We test stuff too.
Thanks for the next great Video!
I use the holster issued by my departement, a Safariland SLS with great effect. Safariland also offers a ride between high and mid and thats perfekt.
I've got my holster outfitted with a hood guard which mostly prevents my jacket from falling over the holster
For the next time I would love a video on IFAKs. Here more and more officers get their own IFAK for duty due to recent terror attacks!
Greetings from Germany!
Just picked up a light and RDS Ragnarok from trex arms for my Walther pdp 4.5" full size. Love it so far, threw it on a safari mid ride.
I've always thought that about the SERPA holsters, but I'm glad to have someone more qualified than I say it!
Great info, with the most important advice being the "look cool" bit. Fake it 'til you make it! Shared many times.
I would love to see a video about conceal carry options & holsters. I went ahead and took your advice and bought a Sidecar from T-Rex Arms, hopefully it'll work well for me. Still waiting on it though. Keep up the good work, love your vids!
Conceal carry video coming soooon
I have a sidecar and I fucking love it
One of the problems I ran into with a drop leg holster in Iraq 2003 was re holstering on the move with zero time to re-snap the retention. My M9 fell out crossing a street in HIT Iraq during a fire fight, that sucked! I got rid of the drop leg holster after that. Also sucked trying to run!
How about a Video on camo? I like the camo on your MK18
The intro to this video is pure gold. Made me smile
I used to use a drop leg holster for hunting because it kept my pistol clear of my pack and winter coats. Over time I found that on long hikes into my hunting spot, it would actually pull my hips out of alignment. Walking out at the end of the day was usually very uncomfortable.
"Han Solo vibe" earned this like "D
If you use the SERPA correctly and train with it, I don't think there is a problem. If you use it incorrectly, then any bad things that happen are on you.
I went away from the SERPA, due to the possibility of debris getting into the locking mechanism preventing it from releasing the pistol.
I have been using a Blackhawk Omnivore for a few months. It is mounted on a thigh platform and I wear it high with one strap. It locks on a TLR1 and basically any gun with the light fits. They also have a model that works with any gun with a rail and any gun with a Surefire light. I like the idea of a multigun holster. I think it is another good alternative.
I still use the SERPA for my 1911 and Sig P226. Like you said it takes training and many reps to be comfortable with it as a duty holster. From personal experience I wore the SERPA for my Springfield 1911 as a duty holster while working for a weekly/monthly apartment complexes here in Las Vegas NV. One company I started working for after my old manager who got canned from the one I got hired originally had called me to join her in the new company she started to work for. Reason was she liked that I was always showed up for work and on time and did not mind how dangerous the kind of shit that weekly/monthly apartments are and being a veteran combat infantryman from service in Iraq for 3 tours. I showed up for work during a graveyard shift in a new company and complex which was filled with thugs, drug dealers, pimps etc. like before. So I was introduced to the manager of the complex and gave me a briefing about the place and pointed out all the thugs present and gave me the office keys before he went home. I then patrolled the area and I had problems with a pimp/drug dealer from the start on the first night on shift. After trying to get him off property numerous times, he then confronted me because I was new to the place and told me that he was first going to kick my ass and kill me. I first was suspicious and then a few seconds later he attacked me. I first used my pepper spray then baton which both didn't work because this guy was 6,5 football player size and high. My Leprechaun ass at 5,6, 180 LBS fought UFC style with this monster of a guy for almost 10 minutes because pepper spray and being hit hard with a steel baton had no effect on him. He got me pinned down on a "Bulldog" which I could not use my arms no matter how I tried to get out of it and nearly blacked me out. Somehow I managed to puff up and keep myself alive from being squeezed out of breath and pass out. Lucky he got tired and moved his left arm and kept me locked by locking his arm with his right and managed to breathe again from under him. I then looked down and saw my 1911 on my SERPA holster on my right side and drew it quick and put the muzzle close to his chest and said "Get the fuck off me now!". I then got a negative reply of "Fuck you! You are dead motherfucker!". I then took the safety off and squeezed a round into his chest. I saw no flash from my muzzle but heard a crash of two heavy anvils smashing together like a very loud ping. The muzzle and slide of my 1911 was very close to my face like 5 inches approximately when I squeezed my round off. He then dropped on my head planting my face into the parking lot asphalt hard. I rolled him off quickly to put another round into him but I did not take another shot because he looked like he fell asleep after being shot once from a .45 ACP Glaser Blue tip round. Then the pepper spray which I was covered in took effect a few seconds later to almost shut my eyes for other threats and burned like hell because I used my entire can on this monster. After looking around from what little I could see that none of his buddies were around to attack me. I then got 911on my phone and a policeman arrived in what I thought was 5 minutes and helped me quick. I was covered in my own pepper spray and could hardly see for 5 hours. I was interviewed by Metro Police and detectives for the next 4 hours. The detectives and officers treated me with respect and kindness because I was in pain. I suffered a few bruises and a bite on from the guy on my right arm. The paramedics treated me first and they put the monster in a gurney and rolled him off with no lights flashing. I finished the interview with the detectives and were satisfied of what I told them and was released from custody 9 hours later. My 1911 and duty belt plus accessories were taken from me for evidence. Then all asked me about my SERPA holster? Reason was my pistol didn't fall out during the wrestling and UFC style rolling fight and shooting him when I did have a chance. I told them that it is a good holster when I keep the release clean and tighten the retention screw for maximum retention before I put it on for work. Honestly that was hell when you have to fight anyone hand to hand and shoot them in a tight spot. I was lucky to survive because most security guards like me and law enforcement guys never been to combat and feel the mode how to survive. Security and law enforcement are trained differently from Infantrymen. In Infantry the training is kill or be killed. But being in security we have to follow the Force Continuum like ROE (Rules of Engagement) for the civilian world. This could have ended quickly if I had decided to use the military ROE way and not end up getting bitten by this cock sucker. I did the security guard/law enforcement Force Continuum way which almost cost me my life. Bottom line is the SERPA did me good as far as retention and quick access when you understand how to employ it.
Are you sure this happened?... I know that these happens but 6.5 Height and too much detail compared how traumatizing that situation is, i Know! ... Anyway if its true,Sad thing to both of You 😔😥🙏🙏🏽
@@MetalSammie Yep. Happened very first night on shift with a new job back then.
I'm glad you survived and that pimp is down under.
@@sovereignstate6760 I'm glad he survived as well. I do think he's somewhat confused one the LE roe aspects as they so many times kill a man 1st and ask questions later, many times just make something up, plant evidence/s and or manufacturer the details to fit the outcome. Fortunately citizens always filming police (preferably life streaming yes life not live streaming) along with body cameras if they don't destroy, erase, mute, obscure or just take off etc etc.. The camera bringing a honest to GOD honest witness into these equations is having quite a chilling effect on bully's, tyrant's criminal blue line gang murdering as a whole, and we're thankful for that. We almost lost this country... Almost. Likewise thankfully now constitutional carry gaining momentum in now the majority of state's, we can protect ourselves as citizens from all the monster's and not just the one's the flag desecrating blue line organizations report and display in their promo stories for garnering more funding and authority over the people they've no obligation to protect such as Uvaldi for example. Supreme Court rulings finally seeing thing's more clearly lately is a tremendous positive for the citizenry as a whole. The more of us law abiding, constitutionm, constitutional amendment's loving, GOD fearing red blooded patriotic Americans out there along with those few, the proud and brave honest police, helping to do what's true and just, can aid in putting a stop to the murdering criminals. Criminals of all kind's crossing the border every day now plus what's hidden in plain sight all across this country. Everyone has a responsibility to look out for our friends, family and neighbors in helping those good police from being victimized because of the dirty one's. A good guy always stops the bad guy when they can if properly allowed to when their hands aren't tied down by globalist' self proclaimed elite' that have through org. Like the atf etc, been terrorizing and criminalizing good men and women across this country and we've finally started to see the results of us having had been saying some time now, "Enough!" We love and support you officer's" veterans and patriots alike who love our country and it's founding documents in ensuring we all have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We got to encourage and support the goid police who don't turn their head like the other 8 did when the 9th cop violated someone's civil rights! The 1 good apple outs that corrupt pos terrorist and gets their ass reprimanded and a career change when necessary after enough of it. That 1 great cop out of 10, well those other 8 saw him or her do the right thing instead of group think complicity. That's how we empty the rotting barrels of apple's across this nation, you good apple's stop lining the top disguising the stench underneath that thin blue line of who really is good, please...We are counting on you. GOD knows we the people don't want to have to right this whole motherfucker ourselves and nor is it even possible without commendable leadership. Stay golden good guy's, you shit bird's otherwise know we're fucking watching that ass so help us and quit fucking around harassing citizens, extorting and corruption because it really would be nice if you'd join the good side for our country's and children's sake if nothing else. GOD bless everyone. Overturn Terry v Ohio, Qualified immunity and PA. V Mimms while we're at it, we gotta fix this shit people it's gotta keep getting better, all aboard🇱🇷🇺🇲.
I use a SLS/ALS for duty and it's definitely the way to go if there's a likelihood of going hands on.
Big fan of the single strap. In Afghanistan I was issued a serpa drop leg and I took off the top strap and brought the whole thing higher. because it wiggled too much on my leg. I've got Safariland holsters now and I love them so much more. Used to be a serpa fanboy... those were dark times.
Great video, even 6 years later. Thank you...
Bravo-Zulu!! Im a big fan of G-code holsters and I was able to pick up nib old stock ggcode that was done under Eagle Tactical before GCode was its own brand and I purchased OSH holsters for my Glock, Sig 226, hk usp and m9 for 9 to15 dollars per, SOC for the same pistols for 25 to 53 dollars per plus a bunch of mag pouches, rti adapters for thigh, molle and belt. I have been training with them for the last 3 years and they are far more superior to blackhawk, safariland and spectre holsters.
The only issue that I have encountered with gcode is that the XST has an issue with Crimson trace laser units like the one for the springfield XDM and the Glock units but there is no issue with the SOC model and since I have try to keep my conceal carry with both crimson trace laser grps or grip area lasers and TLR-1 HL light system on the SOC allows continuity between both types of carry.
During my time in the Navy (2003-2009) I did a TAD tour with ASF and learned what gear I should not waist my own money on. At that time the Blackhawk thigh serpa holster was the standard issue for security but I learned to dislike it because of the the way the straps were setup..
We were issued the Blackhawk serpa lvl3 a month later we got sl6004s because of a safety concern regarding the Blackhawk holsters... Great job
Sorry for bad English not a native speaker
I've been using a safariland sls w/hood for 14 years in mid carry for duty. They're reliable but you HAVE TO DRILL on putting the hood back when re holstering. I've seen guys close to lose their guns after forgetting. I'm seriously considering on going sls+als, seems to be best of both worlds.
Great content anyway 👍🏻.
Im glad you started your video the way you did because I scrolled down to hit the bell and realized youtube had unsubscribed me from your channel....
7:54 "it's kinda got a Han Solo vibe so that's ok"
Me: "welp, I've seen and heard what I want to"
A note on the ALS type holsters they are very very popular in sandy environments at least in my experience its prefered that I use them by my agancy and I live in a state with sand , its just something to think about that SLS canget jamed up rolling around in sand or small rocks , being said all mechanical devices can fail have a back up weapon
Great presentation. This definately helped my holster purchase decision. I ultimately decided on the Safariland 7360RDS for my needs/wants/desires.
Low drop leg is great for VOPS you can role that to the top of your leg and it gives you room to clear... death before dismount !
I was just thinking, I hope Garand Thumb does a video about holsters. Slings before this!
My favorite RUclipsr! Thank you for the Safety Briefs/ knowledge bombs.
So we need AT LEAST one anime review now. Good job.
Basic Sensha-do setup
GiTS maybe?
Fucking plebs.
It's obviously Black Lagoon.
Noir. Half that anime is guns.
This channel should have waaaaay more subscribers than this 20k?!?! Come on guys! This is knowledge at its finest.
Haha he definitely blew up. I don't remember when I started watching, but it wasn't this far back. Maybe in another year from this video.
Solid recommendations. Keep up the good work.
I am subscribed 50% for the knowledge, and 50% for his lowkey humour!
8:43
What about edgy plate carrier mounted holsters?
Great content brother. Glad your channel is growing.
Was really hoping you'd say "professional operators"
I think universal holsters a really great for people who are still figuring out what they like. Because they can try a bunch of different guns and different light combos without having to worry about buy a new holster for each setup
Mid ride holsters with the strap are my favorite, comfortable, perfect placement for draw, high speed as fuck lol! I despise standard drop leg holsters! Every time I'm issued them, I always deny, I'd rather carry a pistol in a M4 mag pouch then use one.
as for the leaning to the side a bit,.. I would note the lean is used as well to take the business end off line from your foot or leg.
I run almost the same, I love my Safariland 7377 7TS ALS belt slide holster. The ALS is a slick retention system that doesn't slow my draw at all. Not a fan of the Hands Solo mid ride but it does look cooler than the belt slide.
Another quality video! Keep up the outstanding work my flannel warrior! 😀🇱🇷🔫💗👍
9:00 Got the Blackhawk version, and another problem I've found is the switch on my THOT detector got pressed whilst holstering my weapon....ending in a very dead battery when I really needed to shine some light on the H.
