Another way of doing things, the Fobus Level II
I don’t carry with a Fobus paddle holster very day, but I’m probable sporting some of their stuff a few times a month. I recently found out about the Level II holsters from Fobus with the thumb lever. I have to say that I have not had a lot of experience with these so I’m not going to rave about them or pass any criticism on them. There are many ways of doing the same job and the job that a gun holster is suppose to do for you is hold your firearm. I have tossed a few holsters in the trash after wearing them out, but I spent a lot of money on upgrading some of my primary medium and full size holster selection after sitting in on a few Carbine courses.
There is no difference in my opinion between a 1911 cocked and locked and a Glock 19 in a Blackhawk Serpa holster. Each one of them is not ready for firing until a finger, take your pick, releases a safety in one way or another and the gun comes out and plays. Fobus holsters are very well made and I have yet to ever break one. They are not bullet proof and they will hurt to roll on, but they get the job done for $20-$30. My Beretta 92FS always goes in a Fobus holster because it’s the most comfortable way of carrying it.
