just ook a flying leap of faith and bought a holster.

[vash]

i have handguns. plenty of them. not a single holster. a buddy noted that if the electricity shuts off for good, i cannot have a pistol in a pocket. i would NEED a holster.

i have not researched ANY holsters, but i just bought a blackhawk sherpa holster NIB..cheap. for a Sig226

any good? what else is good? i need a few glocks holstered. my wife is pretty deadly with the sig. glock, not so much.

if the electricity shuts off for good...

??? The survivalist movement?

[krystar]

why can't you have it in pocket? sure it's not good for the firearm to have pocket lint and whatnot all over. but i doubt that's a real concern if SHTF

Because it would really suck to reach into the pocket and accidentally pull the trigger. If you are carrying a loaded gun, it's smart to always have the trigger covered (ie holstered).

[krystar]

yea but if we're talking minimalist/survivalist/zombie attack, some wide industrial grade velcro straps do the job just fine

I have a Blackhawk Serpa for my P226, which also fits my P220's. They're excellent. They get a very bad rap with Glocks, though, because some folks have a tendency to grip too tight and hit the trigger after depressing the release button as soon as the trigger guard clears the holster. I don't get that, but I've read stories. The one I have for my Glock is fine too.

Carrying an unholstered gun in your pocket is insane. It's only done in the movies. I'd rather carry a bat. The only time my sidearm goes in my jacket pocket is when it's already in a holster and I can't risk anyone seeing in on my waist.

Blackhawk Serpa for my 1911 Love it.

serpa..not sherpa..thanks.

i admit..i had to google OWB and IWB, then it dawned on me while the page was loading. duh! like i said, i have done zero research.

[dhoward]

Not sure how anyone using a Glock with a SERPA could 'accidentally' pull the trigger. I use one with mine.

[RANDY P]

I can see it if you slam it in perhaps and the holster is compressed.....or it's not fully seated and you reach for the button.

I'm not claiming it's a problem for me. It's not. Though I do think the Safariland version with the thumb inside release is a better design. I rarely OC a Glock. I just wanted the holster in case I did.

For Vash it's moot because decocked SIG's have a much heavier trigger pull than Glocks, 11 lbs. vs. 5.5 lbs., IIRC. You simply can't fire a decocked SIG unintentionally. I think those retention holsters are super, regardless of brand. I have taken a spill on my bike with a Fobus non-retention holster and, while the gun didn't come out, I'd have felt a lot better with a Serpa or Safariland. Once I learned of them, I bought a few.

I have a Comp-tac similar to the one NotaBRG pictured above for my Glock that I use in IDPA competitions. They are a bit pricey for a plastic holster, but many of the top guys use them.

Get a serious belt if you're going to carry a holstered gun. The typical clothing store belt won't do the job.

For SHTF purposes, something like this will be fine.

No quick draw IPSC stuff, no concealment need, just need a way to tote the Glock, not lose it, maybe protect it. I have that holster in black.
