Worst Carry Rig Ever?

Not open for further replies.
The WORST (that involved an holster at all) was the cheap Bianchi clip on IWB that I bought for my Glock 19 right after I got my CHL.

The clip was so aggressive that I could barely get it on my belt, with my pants on OR off.

The holster itself was so flimsy, that I was constantly afraid that when holstering (when I could even manage to do so), part of it would get into the trigger guard and cause an AD.
 
I am sure he's been told before, but some people can't be convinced until that gun falls out or worse. As it is he's sitting on the gun, and if he trips and falls down , well you know" that's a lot of weight per square inch landing on the pistols and the spine. Good way to crack a disk.
 
I'd like to see how he draws that without muzzle sweeping himself and 6 or 7 other people as well. Not to mention how he is going to establish a master grip like that.

I swear, there are people who should just run a chain through the bore and wear a pistol as a necklace since they are only wearing it as an iconic token to ward off evil anyway.

Sorry, it is anatomically impossible to crack a disk. They are made of soft connective tissue and a jelly like substance. Rupture? Yes. Crack? No. You must mean either vertebrae or sacrum. Just saying.

Strange way to carry any gun. Not sure how he clears the holster with that safety strap. Definitely a cheap nylon holster which is kind of strange because the gun looks like it's an H&K P7.
 
One of my boys carried with that holster and in the same manner, that is, until I caught him doing it. He said he liked carrying it like that because it was comfortable, really? You raise them and teach them, and then you can only hope some of it sinks in.

There is absolutely no way this man can draw his pistol without violating Rule 2, several times ... The comments on the blog had one commenter attempting to defend the gentleman in the photo. Clearly, there's a lot of folk out there who could benefit from some decent training.
 
I don't have a problem with that.

In fact, if he gets mugged, he could pretend to reach for his wallet and pull his piece instead, possibly surprising the mugger.

Yes, he could possibly sweep bystanders but are they in any less danger from the mugger's gun than this man's?
 
As an RN that specialized in spinal cord injury, there is no way in heck that I would ever carry, or advise anyone else to carry with that set-up. Doesn't take a whole lot to become tetra/paraplegic...
 
Rule #0:
Have a gun!


As long as he's astute enough to keep the booger hook off the bang switch until he's on target I don't have a problem with it either, whatever works for him -- the only real safety device is between the ears!

How is he ever going to train how to use that rig unless he has his own personal range with no other people present? If you were on the firing line next to this guy, would you be OK with him using that rig?

Well, he has a rig he cannot train with on any public range or most private club ranges. He has a holster where the grip to draw and the proper firing grip are two different grips so that he must either change grips during the draw or shoot from a very non-traditional grip. And his finger isn't the only thing that can end up in the trigger guard looking at that retention strap.

So unless he has his own private practice facility, chances are decent that he'll be under a fair amount of stress the first time he tries to draw it without putting his finger on the trigger. The thing about the four rules is for someone to get hurt, you have to violate at least two of the four. Making it a daily habit to violate one of the four doesn't leave you much room for human frailty.

Every time he turns around he sweeps the whole area with the muzzle. Other holsters keep the firearm in that position also.

Don't care for it, or other holsters that do it as well.

I do have a problem with it...it is just irresponsible, and it has nothing to do with sweeping himself or others during his presentation.

This is a classic case of someone spending money on what appears to be a decent gun and then being unwilling to spend the money on a decent system with which to carry it. Let me list the problems that are obvious:

1. It is a generic nylon holster which will collapse when the gun is drawn
2. It is a IWB holster which he has attached to a belt loop...not offering stable positioning
3. It is a "clip" holster which offers iffy security even when attached to a belt...it will likely come out with the gun
4. The holster is the wrong size for the gun...too big
5. The thumb break safety strap is below the rear tang of the frame
a) prevents a master grip on the gun before it starts coming out of the pouch
b) places releasing thumb out of position to receive the gun as it is drawn

{he might very well surprise the mugger, as he drops the gun at his feet; or looks like he is giving himself a lateral wedgy}

6. The magazine carriers cover too much of the magazine body (unstable grip), thee covering flaps are too large (slow), and the carrier is oriented incorrectly for a smooth draw. It is likely that the carrier was originally intended for the same gun as the holster, in which case, the magazines will liely just drop out when the covering flap is released
 
Irresponsible is putting it mildly. Let's just stop sugarcoating this: the guy is a tool, and stuff such as what's depicted in the photo makes all gun owners look bad.

But, the 2nd Amendment doesn't say, "The right of only the people who are not stupid ..."
 
The guy pictured is a totally clueless dumb-cluck and deserves all the derision coming his way.
