Holsters, comfort and holster and angles
It was a recent discussion in our tactical store that angling a holster forward really was more about FBI guys that were sitting in their cars and didn’t want the grips to dig into their seats. I have had some issues drawing my pistol in this angle because sometimes I’ve felt my fingers get way too close to the trigger and slip. Roto holsters give you a little bit of flexibility and we all know how hard it is to get a holster to fit you without trying it out for awhile. If you are in a car you may want a forward leaning angle and if you are standing most of the time a straight angle.
There have been times I carried full sized autos and if I had my Wilderness 5 stitch instructor belt on I didn’t have any issues with the weight, but with the wrong belt, it would sag. I am a big fan of the Fobus holsters product line, and not because they are my favorite, they are the easiest and best holster to start out with. Their paddle holsters are very inexpensive and always the first thing we sell to someone who is taking their first firearms training course. Paddle holsters are easier to adapt to than dealing with break in periods with far more expensive leather or customer kydex holsters.
