Securing firearms in a holsters is important…
But don’t forget about all of your other gear. Many of my previous blog posts have mentioned that I regularly attend training seminars and trade shows and I see and feel lots of gun gear and accessories. I’ve seen plenty minds changed with gun holsters once the physical stuff starts. I’ve busted a few CCW in my life usually during the Summer months when they are sitting back on a lawn chair and I see a fully loaded Sig 220 magazine laying on the ground next to them. Another one of my friends fell asleep on a long car ride and woke up with an empty pistol magazine pouch, it was being held by the guy sitting behind him.
Those sound like funny stories, but it should be a wake up for anyone that is CCWing. Gun accessories on firearms should normally have loctite on them, but you can’t do that to keep your gun magazines in place. Those cheap nylon magazine holders are actually very secure, but some don’t like the image of cheap Army surplus stuff. Blackhawk holsters are known for their locking Serpa holsters, but the double stack and single stack magazines are outstanding. I’ve never lost a magazine during training and they are easy to retrieve unlike something with a flap.
