FOBUS Bargain

[Spieler]

Recently on THR there have been a few threads about FOBUS products in general and paddle hosters in particular which intrigued me as I was looking for a new carry option for my G17. I did some web searching and found a great deal at Kielser's on closeout FOBUS paddle holsters for G17/G19/G22/G23, etc. for only $7.95! The color is OD green and it came in the mail today and I have been carrying around the house and doing some errands today and so far it feels good. I had been using the Glock polymer belt slide holster which is very minimal in bulk, but I like the paddle because it allows me to remove it and put it on as the situation warrants without having to remove my belt. This is a plus in my book.

Only prolonged carry will really tell if this is the "hot" setup for me or not, but so far color me happy. And if it doesn't work for me, I'm only out $12.95 total investment for holster and shipping. If you have been wanting to give a FOBUS paddle a try for your Glock, I would suggest giving this some thought.

Just wanted to share!

I have a few Fobus holsters. Like you, when I bought my first one, I didn't know anything about them and figured for what they cost, why not ? They seem to me to be a very good holster and a bargin at that. I also own one Bladetech holster that cost a lot more, but I honestly don't think it is any better of a holster. I still like leather and consider a fine leather holster to be a work of beauty and art. But, if you are just looking for something to put a gun on your hip, the Fobus isn't a bad deal. I primarily bought Fobus for the guns that I didn't own a holster for, and that I didn't really intend to carry other than at the range. But, I wouldn't hesitate to use a Fobus as a primary open carry holster. I actually used one for IDPA and didn't have any complaints with it.

I've got a couple around also, and its like 444 said, they pass for open carry, but for a CCW they put the gun just a hair too far from the body ......and they RATTLE!
