Tactical Holsters

Tactical HolstersThe more gear you put on your body the more you’ll worry about placement, and like every other mode of carry, there are different tools for different tasks.  Blackhawk gear has some of the top notch products for your needs.   You can choose from different levels of retension, too.  There are always paddle holsters or something like Fobus that are fairly inexpensive, but our highest recommendations are always the Blackhawk Tactical Holsters.

Tactical Holsters are another category of holsters for todays gun owner or LEO.   While many may not be Law Enforcement or Military,  there are reasons for civillians to desire a holster for carrying on the range or for training.   One of the most popular ways to carry a sidearm is on the leg.   If you’re toting an M4 or similiar Carbine, you may not want a sidearm on your waist, inside or outside.

Concealement or Duty Holsters Options, Options…

Pistol HolstersThe argument about which gun is better than the other is  like beating a dead horse to most gun enthusiasts, but when talking about gun holsters there seems to be very little argument.   Whenever I speak to my friends about the topic of gun holsters, there is a clear and obvious reality that no holster is good for everything.   Some holsters look nice and feel nice, but they won’t hold up to adverse weather.   Nylon and plastics are options for damp environments, but there can always be drawbacks.
Whenever your looking for a pistol holster, think about the number of climate changes or environments, concealement or open carry options, and then take your pick of the many brands like, Galco, Fobus, Don Hume, Uncle Mike’s, Blackhawk, Bianchi and see which needs can be fulfilled.   Some manufacturers are making holsters from leather to high density plastics and shoulder holsters to paddle holsters.

More Shoulder Holster Options

Galco Shoulder Holster

From what many people seem to like about shoulder holsters is the stability of carrying a larger size revolver or duty gun. Something like a Glock 17 or Sig 226, Beretta 96 ect are all a little large for IWB and OWB limits the defensive movement inside a vehicle.

Galco  shoulder holsters come in a very diverse variety. You you use them for concealed carry purposes or for open carry or duty. One of my favorite ways to carry a Sig 226 is a Galco shoulder holster. I like the idea of being able to sit down in a car and still be able to grab the firearm without fiddling with a seatbelt. The only other car friendly variation of carrying a firearm in a car and being able to reach it quickly is with an ankle holster. Galco has several shoulder holster and ankle holsters on the market.

One of most popular CCW Firearms

Galco HolstersIf you were new to the concealed carry world, one of the most popular CCW firearms recommended is the Sig 239.   Some may think that the smaller the firearm the easier it could be to handle, but that is simple not true.   I’ve stood on the firing line and seen guys put 32acp and 9mm firearms in their friends hands and people always comment how much bite the gun has.  The smaller the gun, the ligter it is to carry around but not neccessarily easier to shoot or control.
Some may also recommend something like a short barrel revolver or snub nose, but they also have a lot of bite and notoriously harsh triggers.   The Sig 239 is a duty pistol in LEO and Government agencies and also one of the top CCW guns on the market.   It is heavy for it’s size, but it’s size is really not that big.  One of my favorite ways to carry this gun is in a Galco Holster.   You can choose from IWB, OWB, Paddle or shoulder holster.   The Sig 239 is as durable as all of the other Duty sized Sig firearms on the market.

New Safariland Holster system

Safariland HolstersAdditionally, holsters with this all-new ergonomic design are completely operable with the thumb making training easy, and the straight up draw makes them very instinctive to use, yet difficult for an assailant’s attempted takeaway. And finally, once the retention devices are released, the weapon can be drawn straight out of the holster with no twisting or other motion required.

Automatic Locking System (ALS™)The ALS™ system is the next evolution in Safariland holsters and builds upon the successful SELF LOCKING SYSTEM (SLS). With many patents to its credit, the key to this system is an internal locking device that secures the weapon in all directions simply upon re-holstering, providing Level II Plus Retention™ which can also be elevated to Level III Plus Retention™ with the addition of the Sentry.

Sidearms during training

Blackhawk SerpaHolsters have come a long way in comparison to what the Cowboys and Military use to store their sidearms.   Most holsters were  held in place by gravity, straps or buttons for hundreds of years.    The Blackhawk Level 2 Serpa leg holster is my favorite way to carry a sidearms whenever I’m toting a rifle or carbine.   I’ve rolled around enough in the dirt to know that gear can fall off when the pace is sped up.   I’ve seen guys loose sidearms and pistil magazines just by bending over or rolling around.

This is one of those little issues that the less trained figure out real quick.
Concealed carry is one thing, but in my line of work, I want to know that if my M4 goes down, my sidearm is locked into place and always going to be there.   The Blackhawk Serpa Level 2 Serpa leg holster locks the pistol in to place and can easily be released with the trigger finger engages a lever which is in the same position your finger would be if resting in the safe position.

Blackhawk Concealed, Duty or Tactical

Blackhawk Holsters

The Serpa Tactical is one of my favorite for carrying if you tote an M4 or Carbine for work. Having a holster that reliable locks into place and is safely and easily unholstered even if you are jumping a fence or hopping over trenches. The Auto lock is engaged with your trigger finger which is safely out of the way from the trigger.

 

Blackhawk holsters are one of the most popular holster designs on the market. Their Serpa line consists of 3 different holster designs. The Serpa Concealment for concealed carry, The Serpa Tactical, and the Serpa Duty.
