adox Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I feel with a drop leg holster I find myself reaching down for it a lot more then I should. This might just be me, but due to this I have a belt holster as I need quick access to my sidearm. If my sidearm is on my chest, my sling gets in the way and on my leg I find the time to grab it is much longer. Having it only my belt allows me to quickly drop my rifle (connected to sling) and grab my sidearm instantly. (Also drawing from belt to aim is a far shorter distance than from a leg holster. Anyone agree and do the same thing?😳 or am I just crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man after my own heart! I started out with a drop leg on my left, but then swapped to a right side drop leg, cos ASG don't make one for the left for the mk23 😞 I'm lucky in that I can shoot well with my off hand - makes it much easier as a sniper to be able to use sidearm whilst still maintaining control of my primary. As far as other holster go, for CQB I stow a pistol in my vest rather than using a holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoksa Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I found the hoster on molle belt too high for fast draw. And I don't like holster on thigh. So I went for a compromise. I have a Nuprol polymer holster on an IMI low ride polymer belt attachment. They can be connected to a separate belt under the molle one or to the inner belt of the molle. The Nuprol holster and IMI low ride are compatable. Holds the gun at just the right height for me. The holsterr connects just below the bottom of my Condor battle belt.

emilianoksa Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The problem is that American brands like Safariland and even Blackhawk are ridiculously expensive in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you are patient and find the right thing on eBay. Even saying that my current safariland was £80 from the US suppose it depends what you’d want to pay for a holster. I’ve picked up a few safariland, Blackhawk and other brands on eBay for £30 in the past. Failing that getting a custom one made isn’t overly expensive and you can have the drilled to take a UBL or whatever you want to fit the needs, drop leg holsters are rediculously shit I don’t know why anyone would use them unless you have arms like Stretch Armstrong.

Fumps Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm a mid rise dude. The hip always felt too high & the drop leg was way to low for me. Took ages to find a mid rise holster but it was worth it when I did. Although I have now given my sidearm away to my son for his 16th 🤔 Gonna miss my old 1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just more stuff to carry, clean, reload during breaks. It will feel weird but I'm gonna give it a go & see how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rag Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This is where mine sits, behind my mag pouches tucks in nicely. kind of easy to draw, but to want to get a drop leg holster (fyi im not as fat as the rig makes me look just the position I had to put it in so it stands free front end is heavy haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted February 5, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 5, 2019 Funny im currently debating a new setup, i have myself a shiny new smersh rig and a polymer makarov holster but i'm struggling to think of a decent place. Currently seem to be 3 options: -Left shoulder strap, fits ok but flaps around a bit -behind right hand mag pouches, again fits but my arm dont bend that far -on a molle drop leg panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits pretty perfectly for me. On my m4 setup, I don't even need my pistol at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apharmd Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Depends on the loadout. My green gear has a Blackhawk vest with a cross-draw holster. Fits most of my pistols up to the Beretta and the AW HX2002. My black gear has a Viper molle belt with one of their adjustable holsters. Fits near anything except the DL-44. Occasionally I'll add the black belt to the green gear and pack two pistols for the hell of it, usually if I know there's an assault game on that day.
