yeah, somethin' I realized before I bought my gun is that you get what you pay for, and when safety and function are important, you should pay for the best. These are guns we are talking about. Serious stuff, and not a game. I have been having to walk a fine line between whats the best, and what I can afford. So far, as far as holsters go, I have done pretty ok. I primarily use a Don Hume JIT for my XD. Pretty damn cheap for a leather holster, but well crafted. I do have a beef with some minor things about it though, but overall, I am pretty happy with it. All in all a pretty good concealed carry holster.
But its horrible for shooting at the range. When I carry concealed, I ussually wear a t-shirt tucked in with a shirt over it. That way the gun doeasn't contact my skin, and the longer shirt conceals it. At the range I am having to constantly draw and reholster. While I would have to deal with the outer shirt in a defense situation, I don't want to have to do that. Teh holster also causes teh gun to ride very high, great for concealing it under my shirt, but again, a pian when at the range.
A thigh holster seem like a good idea for the range becasue it makes reholstering the weapon convienent and puts it close at hand. The holster pictured above seems like an exceptional choice becasue of the ease it has in putting on. Do most tactical rigs feature a belt clip like that g-code above? Or do most require removing your belt to slide it over?
I am thinking that my new target range is gonna be in the $50 to $70 range. Although I am gonna hit a gun show up too to see what I can find.
Gunguy, can you post a pic and or link to teh type of holster you got for $20? I would appreciate it. Would be nice to see what they might carry at a gunshow and what kinda deal I might be able to swing. Thanks!
