Security and snagging while carrying a Carbine
Finding the right type of gun for you is a very important thing, your boss many tell you want caliber they want to stick to, but there are still so many options in which type of firearm you feel comfortable shooting. Finding the ammunition that works in your firearm won’t be much of a problem from the majority of Glock and Sig Sauer pistols that so many Government agencies use, but when it comes to choosing holsters and gear. That is something that you are going to have to figure out on your own. I have seen many of my customers call up a few weeks after receiving their pants only to be informed that they need another pair because they ripped. They didn’t rip because of product defects, they ripped because tactical pants have so many pockets that they easily snag and get torn.
Last month I sat in a Carbine course where the first day of shooting showed a lot of novice accessorizing and watching guys constantly move slings around trying to find that spot where they could take it off and on without catching on their secondary pistol was interesting. Blackhawk holsters ruled the range that day, but I did see paddle holsters, leg holsters and belt through. I am always a fan of quick detach gear because bad things can happen in combat and releasing your holster, vest or Carbine could mean saving your life.
