3skulls
.270 WIN
Don't have a CCDW permit yet so if I carry, it has to be open.
Wanted something that I felt was secure and something that was comfortable to wear. Shopping online for certain items like a holster, can be difficult.
I could get my hands on the BlackHawk with a short ride over to the local Bass Pro Shop.
I said what the Hell and went for it.
After having it for a couple of months, I'm really liking it. I have the "Sportster" model.
Is it something I would take into battle? I doubt it. They do have a carbon fiber version that is stronger but I couldn't find any local.
For what I need it for, I feel its strong enough. Time will tell if it holds up.
After picking up my 2nd pistol I added the Quick Disconnect system to my holster.
I wanted to keep the holsters as close as possible when wearing different pistols. This now allows me to keep the paddle hooked to my belt and I can change out holsters within a min.
You can also pick and change your cant very easily. The "cog" rotates 360*.
Adding the quick disconnect does add about 3/4" between the holster and the paddle.
Being an open carry holster, I find that to be a benefit. Keeps the gun away from my body some and allows to tuck my shirt down behind the holster.
The paddle portion is very comfortable.
It had 3 hooks. 2 to catch your belt and 1 to catch the inside of your pants. It's not coming out unless you really take your time to take it off.
With the quick disconnect system, you can also add attachments to MOLLE gear, drop legs or even screw the female "cog" under a desk.
Now I have read the horror stories with people having troubles with accidental discharge while drawing their weapon.
I'm not sure if they were in high stress environment or just didn't know how to work the holster. To me, I feel its a very safe system. If you were really pushing down hard on the release lever while drawing, I could see someone having a problem. Now would that same person have the same problem with a different set up? I'm not sure.
Like i said, to me I feel very safe. Even safer with a 1911 with the thumb safety on and my Sig with DA/SA.
Overall...
Really happy with the whole system.
Feels safe and secure.
Open carry only (unless you had a huge coat on)
If you guys have any questions or if I can get a pic of something not shown, let me know.
Here are a couple more shots on the vest.
Thanks for reading, hope this helps some
