It looks like a high-quality holster but I’d like to keep it under $120.
Still not under $120, but another option to compareIt looks like a high-quality holster but I’d like to keep it under $120.
Bear spray for sureDon’t forget bear spray. Keep it where you can get to it.
If avaialble for that gun, their Alaskan Hunter Hip Holster with a drop loop is also extremely convenient and comfortable. I have two and will likely order 2-3 more for different guns.
The mounted O-light is also probably not as common as a Surefire or Streamlight so you may be further limited with your holster options if that is the light you intend to carry mounted to the gun.Adding the capability for a mounted light and red dot optic will also drive up the price.
This holster is nice, I have tried both this holster and the Diamond Custom and this holster is much more comfortable and stable than the Diamond Custom.
My Kenai with my S&W 610 in it. You'll notice I am wearing a hybrid vest/backpack over the holster without issue.
Just got back from the gun store. I got a front pack that’ll hold my bear spray on the outside, my clip flashlight and my pistol for $40. Should be very stable for hiking. Thank you guys!I've been thinking about a Hill People Gear Recon chest pack.
Perhaps it's just me, but the idea of having to bring my hand up above my shoulder to draw a gun, when seconds matter, just seems like far too much of a struggle. Especially if I were wearing a backpack, the strap of which was pulling down on my shoulder. But I suppose everyone is different.
I don't suppose you've times that draw, have you mcb? I'm curious about it.
I have not put hard numbers on draw times. From my USPSA rig I can draw an N-frame to a 7 yard Alpha in 1.0-1.25 seconds pretty reliably. From a leather scabbard style belt holster the few times I have shot matches with one that probably slows down to ~1.5 seconds. From the chest rig worn high as pictured I guessing 2.0-2.5 seconds. Its Kydex so the draw is smooth and fast since there is very little friction once the trigger guard clear the recess it snaps into.
