If that's not a Crye Precision Ultra Operator Fire Repellant Level IIIA North Face flannel you're a piece of shit. What if you walk into a Starbucks and the baristas burst into flames because of your hot manliness. So not operator.
Clearly not tier one. his collar isn't popped as to prevent chafing if he chose to wear a plate carrier on his coffee mission.
His watch's face is on the inside of his wrist, for checking mission time grabbing coffee, but I digress
And if one more button gets undone I swear he'll be wearing gold chains and talking like someone from The Soprano's!
Jason McKinney why go buy shit from Starbucks get a French press and foldgers
the vein slayer We dont get shit at all in the UK...starbucks or costa...bmw or mercedes...practically the same level
Chrid Boi your UK is fucked up banning firearms even pellet guns which is gay
This video is the perfect amount of time needed to make my legs go numb whilst pooping.
I cant even explain how hard I laughed at this.
I too am pooping
Orcus - Hopefully, you were in a good position to poop, as well...
I laughed so hard at this because as soon as I was done pinchin I read it 😂😂
I️ just started fucking up the toilet as soon as I️ read your comment.
rule number 1. look cool.
rule number 2. know what you're doing.
rule number 3. if you don't know what you're doing, look cool doing it.
Scott Cameron I was always told the 3 rules of SF were: always look cool, know where you are, if you don't know where you are just look cool
I always believed the philosophy that looking cool comes from knowing what your doing
I got told that at Ranger school. I live by it now.
You look good, you feel good, you feel good, you do good!
LMFAO!!
If you want to get a hold of Garand Thumb just dial 0. That's the only way to contact real operators
sturmgewehrr underrated comment
Legit bruh.
This is the smoothest line in the game.
Man, i was thinking last night, life is getting boring without an operator that operates operationally in a field of operations with operational weapons and operational gear. And there he was, with his dry humour and his long bony face, GarandThumb saved me from operationales-ness.
Operator of operators
RoyalVictorian shhhhhhh can't you see he's operating
isn't he a special operator, though?
I am at a loss of words. I'd add a gif of smooth operator if allowed
Moms basement reporting for duty oorah
You don't even know who this guy is, or his background obviously.
Do I dare even drop the name of his father?
Howabout a clue?
Ok. Magpul
This mans knowledge is spot on and people without military training or been out for a long time can benefit greatly by keeping mouth shut and ears&eyes open.
4:38 he actually said it as I was typing.
Travis Haley
Did you watch enough of the video to hear that?
To whom are you sperging out right now, amigo?
@@therealericjackdaniels You know he was referring to himself and not GT, right?
@@RohannvanRensburg naw lol I didn't... my bad Viru
The way he said "I've been seeing a lot of really retarded answers" then kept on going, Was HILARIOUS
That would be all good and all but he apparently has no clue how to operate in a law enforcement or SWAT environment. You phase out of that Tacti-cool bullshit real fast in favor of function and keeping holes out of your ass that don't belong there.
@@Harlem55 he has a clue he’s a tacp in the af
@@benjaminstevens8641 that is interesting, as I wouldn't peg him for it given the general aura of how he comes across. That said- that's a much different operating environment and rules of engagement as opposed to the sort of thing most people are apt to come across on the home front- making much of the training either rather inapplicable or something that will likely land you in prison. Being the reason that military credentials don't impress me anywhere near as much as civilian law enforcement credentials.
@@Harlem55 the “tacti cool bs” is a joke buddy. Can’t pick up on sarcasm? You really are awkward
@@jacobh674 sarcasm doesn't emote in the text, ass nugget. You forgot to use :->
the Tony Hawk of operators.
I'm so glad I found your channel. It's quickly becoming my favorite. As a crayon-eating Marine veteran, I enjoy your comical shenanigans and tactical knowledge. 👍🏻🇺🇸
sthenos45 What brand do you prefer as a snack? I hear good things about crayola.
Cra-z-art is the best. none of that chinese crayola shit
hunter...totally agree....Chinese crayolas have been reported to kill large inbred wallmart shoppers and hippies.
As a fellow crayon eater which brand/flavor do you prefer
@@gabrielkelly2631 I love the citrus variety: lemon-lime might be the best 😋
Your humor is on point and you're so cavalier about it. You really understand that community. Keep it up!
BluK Draith almost like he's a part of it...
:D
kinda ruins it when you just point it out so blatantly though....
When is the anime body pillow review coming?

No, more kuudere really.
just as long as its not yandere.
All your dads are lesbians now, good job
Three years later and this vid is still helping the masses 🙌🏻 plus it’s cool to see how far this channel has come keep it up flannel daddy 👍🏻
Five years later and we’re still learning.
I miss this older format. The new stuff is cool but I get a lot more knowledge and questions answered by these calmer more serious older videos.
We do these all the time still
Please start just reviewing random things - baby carriers/wraps, video games, wine, Japanese love pillows, etc.
If he did this I would join his Patreon as long as he's dead serious about the reviews, i.e. doing tactical movement with a doll in the baby wrap.
Honestly that would be great for parents or future parents. I know i would watch it if a woman was actually willing to have my baby
@@RohannvanRensburg I’ll be down to do it

Now i understand why the universe made my junk hang to the left.
God's looking out for you bud.
You too huh?
you have reached the next level, young padawan...
Me too!
Because "leather forms in weird ways when wet"??
Outside the waistband appendix carry. My cousin's, roommate's best friend's girlfriend from third grade had a special education teacher who had a one night stand with a guy from CAG and that's how all the elite operators operate operationally......

Good to Go!
"We're becoming a military, LE, ehm...airsoft, mom's basement type of community"
Basically /k/ommandos
That thumb guard is also useful for if your issued duty vest comes right down to your beltline. Without it, lots of guys (including me) have had their vests "unsnap" their safariland holster hoods as you sit/stand/move about. You have to constantly be checking to see if you're unsnapped.
G-Code has a great holster platform called the mule- it's a drop-leg that's only a little lower than a midride. Basically just a midride with a pivot point, and a single leg strap for the Han Solo look in case you need to shoot first if you're sitting at a table or something. I also like the idea of modular mounting point, not to change holsters but to put the same holster on different platforms depending on what I'm doing.
The G-Code/Mule is my go-to configuration when drilling for waifu pillow rescue. My par time is down to 9.8 seconds from start to Sayaka-chan safely extracted from the basement.
My first duty holster came in the mail today. It is for my full size Walther PDP, it is from Walther's site model 35 it is a Level 3 retention.
Thanks GT! Because of your recommendation for the Safari Land with ALS, I bought one for my new Glock 19X in a similar color. I really like and practice drawing several times a day from all sorts of positions. Before, for my older Ruger P85, I could only get a Serpa for it. I'm not in a service or LEO but it worked for me. A lot of practice drawing there also. Anyway, I always enjoy the subtle humor (sometimes not so subtle) you inject into your videos.
I always like the little jokes in between.
Always adds a flavor of silliness to your content I can't find elsewhere.
"Han Solo vibe" earned this like "D
Man, i was thinking last night, life is getting boring without an operator that operates operationally in a field of operations with operational weapons and operational gear. And there he was, with his dry humour and his bony face, GarandThumb saved me from operationals-ness.
Your understated "dry" delivery is priceless! I don't know if it's natural or trained, but you are damn talented. Great stuff!
Also, kudos on not hard knocking airsofters and/or trying to chase mall-ninjas away. I never understood why some folks are so dang hostile to the wannabe fanbase. Classy move on your part!
Way to be the DK Books of TactiCool... TactiCool? TactiAwesome!
GOSERE!
Keep it up, You're no doubt the channel I look forward to after coming home from work.
My department requires us to use state issue level 3 blackhawk SERPAs when we are on transport runs. There is no other option, unfortunately. The tactical team, gets to run whatever holster they want, and are encouraged to use level 1 stuff like regular kydex holsters. Probably the route I'm gonna go
7:54 "it's kinda got a Han Solo vibe so that's ok"
Me: "welp, I've seen and heard what I want to"
8:43
What about edgy plate carrier mounted holsters?
Content: 10/10 I can finally learn how to be an operator and take a dump at the same time! Now all I need is a good anime review
Mid ride holsters with the strap are my favorite, comfortable, perfect placement for draw, high speed as fuck lol! I despise standard drop leg holsters! Every time I'm issued them, I always deny, I'd rather carry a pistol in a M4 mag pouch then use one.
Personally own a holster for my CZ P07 from an Israeli company that I never even knew existed until I bought it: Front Line.
It's a belt/paddle, thumb-snap holster with adjustable passive retention screws and is made from an interesting assembly of materials that make for a surprisingly remarkable home for my pistol. An outer layer of kydex is loosely molded to the dimensions of your pistol, followed by a layer of nylon, then a more exact molding of PVC, and lastly, a suede lining. They call this weird conglomeration of layers "KNG," or "Kydex New Generation." The suede lining has kept my CZ looking new with zero holster wear showing after nearly two years. The holster itself has shown no signs of damage.
No jostling on the hip when running or doing other strenuous activity. Albeit, I do wear a stiff nylon belt, so that helps. And absolutely no wiggling of the pistol in the holster, whatsoever.
The damned thing just works.
I've seen setups with TQ and compact IFAKs on a drop leg platform, I think its a good idea because if you're going to drop anything in an emergency it's more likely going to be your BA not your holster so in that situation you'd still be able to make and plug holes 👍
Personally I use a two strap drop leg much higher than you described. I know that when my arm is relaxed down my side then my hand drops straight onto my sidearm and clears any gear I've got.
I find the belt and mid ride holsters more difficult to drive in too.
Serpa indexes the finger above the trigger. Carried for years on and off duty. I agree...practice, practice, practice.
So we need AT LEAST one anime review now. Good job.
Basic Sensha-do setup
GiTS maybe?
Fucking plebs.
It's obviously Black Lagoon.
Noir. Half that anime is guns.
I'd like to see a 25K subscriber special where Mike gets $500 and 15 minutes to get fully kitted at Walmart - because the idea him using a weight vest as a chest rig suddenly amuses me. He then must go Airsoft with randomly chosen subscribers.
2.42 Million subs later. 🔥
I'm not sure if it's these magic crayons but I still keep thinking "Godddamn! Bill Nye's kid is a freakin BAMF" at the beginning of these vids
Another Great vid, I love watching your vids & appreciate the wisdom your supplying. Keep up the humor in your vids Han Solo. I honestly don't know how you keep a straight face in the vids, but maybe you have a million outtakes for each vid you upload. Thanks again bro, I gotta go & watch this one again, to see what I missed while laughing.
lots of outtakes for sure.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoy the videos and information. The really cool thing is that you're confirming all of the research and trial and error that I've done. Thank you.
chest holster is the coolest looking way and looking cool is the most important thing
I still use the SERPA for my 1911 and Sig P226. Like you said it takes training and many reps to be comfortable with it as a duty holster. From personal experience I wore the SERPA for my Springfield 1911 as a duty holster while working for a weekly/monthly apartment complexes here in Las Vegas NV. One company I started working for after my old manager who got canned from the one I got hired originally had called me to join her in the new company she started to work for. Reason was she liked that I was always showed up for work and on time and did not mind how dangerous the kind of shit that weekly/monthly apartments are and being a veteran combat infantryman from service in Iraq for 3 tours. I showed up for work during a graveyard shift in a new company and complex which was filled with thugs, drug dealers, pimps etc. like before. So I was introduced to the manager of the complex and gave me a briefing about the place and pointed out all the thugs present and gave me the office keys before he went home. I then patrolled the area and I had problems with a pimp/drug dealer from the start on the first night on shift. After trying to get him off property numerous times, he then confronted me because I was new to the place and told me that he was first going to kick my ass and kill me. I first was suspicious and then a few seconds later he attacked me. I first used my pepper spray then baton which both didn't work because this guy was 6,5 football player size and high. My Leprechaun ass at 5,6, 180 LBS fought UFC style with this monster of a guy for almost 10 minutes because pepper spray and being hit hard with a steel baton had no effect on him. He got me pinned down on a "Bulldog" which I could not use my arms no matter how I tried to get out of it and nearly blacked me out. Somehow I managed to puff up and keep myself alive from being squeezed out of breath and pass out. Lucky he got tired and moved his left arm and kept me locked by locking his arm with his right and managed to breathe again from under him. I then looked down and saw my 1911 on my SERPA holster on my right side and drew it quick and put the muzzle close to his chest and said "Get the fuck off me now!". I then got a negative reply of "Fuck you! You are dead motherfucker!". I then took the safety off and squeezed a round into his chest. I saw no flash from my muzzle but heard a crash of two heavy anvils smashing together like a very loud ping. The muzzle and slide of my 1911 was very close to my face like 5 inches approximately when I squeezed my round off. He then dropped on my head planting my face into the parking lot asphalt hard. I rolled him off quickly to put another round into him but I did not take another shot because he looked like he fell asleep after being shot once from a .45 ACP Glaser Blue tip round. Then the pepper spray which I was covered in took effect a few seconds later to almost shut my eyes for other threats and burned like hell because I used my entire can on this monster. After looking around from what little I could see that none of his buddies were around to attack me. I then got 911on my phone and a policeman arrived in what I thought was 5 minutes and helped me quick. I was covered in my own pepper spray and could hardly see for 5 hours. I was interviewed by Metro Police and detectives for the next 4 hours. The detectives and officers treated me with respect and kindness because I was in pain. I suffered a few bruises and a bite on from the guy on my right arm. The paramedics treated me first and they put the monster in a gurney and rolled him off with no lights flashing. I finished the interview with the detectives and were satisfied of what I told them and was released from custody 9 hours later. My 1911 and duty belt plus accessories were taken from me for evidence. Then all asked me about my SERPA holster? Reason was my pistol didn't fall out during the wrestling and UFC style rolling fight and shooting him when I did have a chance. I told them that it is a good holster when I keep the release clean and tighten the retention screw for maximum retention before I put it on for work. Honestly that was hell when you have to fight anyone hand to hand and shoot them in a tight spot. I was lucky to survive because most security guards like me and law enforcement guys never been to combat and feel the mode how to survive. Security and law enforcement are trained differently from Infantrymen. In Infantry the training is kill or be killed. But being in security we have to follow the Force Continuum like ROE (Rules of Engagement) for the civilian world. This could have ended quickly if I had decided to use the military ROE way and not end up getting bitten by this cock sucker. I did the security guard/law enforcement Force Continuum way which almost cost me my life. Bottom line is the SERPA did me good as far as retention and quick access when you understand how to employ it.
Are you sure this happened?... I know that these happens but 6.5 Height and too much detail compared how traumatizing that situation is, i Know! ... Anyway if its true,Sad thing to both of You 😔😥🙏🙏🏽
@@MetalSammie Yep. Happened very first night on shift with a new job back then.
I'm glad you survived and that pimp is down under.
@@sovereignstate6760 I'm glad he survived as well. I do think he's somewhat confused one the LE roe aspects as they so many times kill a man 1st and ask questions later, many times just make something up, plant evidence/s and or manufacturer the details to fit the outcome. Fortunately citizens always filming police (preferably life streaming yes life not live streaming) along with body cameras if they don't destroy, erase, mute, obscure or just take off etc etc.. The camera bringing a honest to GOD honest witness into these equations is having quite a chilling effect on bully's, tyrant's criminal blue line gang murdering as a whole, and we're thankful for that. We almost lost this country... Almost. Likewise thankfully now constitutional carry gaining momentum in now the majority of state's, we can protect ourselves as citizens from all the monster's and not just the one's the flag desecrating blue line organizations report and display in their promo stories for garnering more funding and authority over the people they've no obligation to protect such as Uvaldi for example. Supreme Court rulings finally seeing thing's more clearly lately is a tremendous positive for the citizenry as a whole. The more of us law abiding, constitutionm, constitutional amendment's loving, GOD fearing red blooded patriotic Americans out there along with those few, the proud and brave honest police, helping to do what's true and just, can aid in putting a stop to the murdering criminals. Criminals of all kind's crossing the border every day now plus what's hidden in plain sight all across this country. Everyone has a responsibility to look out for our friends, family and neighbors in helping those good police from being victimized because of the dirty one's. A good guy always stops the bad guy when they can if properly allowed to when their hands aren't tied down by globalist' self proclaimed elite' that have through org. Like the atf etc, been terrorizing and criminalizing good men and women across this country and we've finally started to see the results of us having had been saying some time now, "Enough!" We love and support you officer's" veterans and patriots alike who love our country and it's founding documents in ensuring we all have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We got to encourage and support the goid police who don't turn their head like the other 8 did when the 9th cop violated someone's civil rights! The 1 good apple outs that corrupt pos terrorist and gets their ass reprimanded and a career change when necessary after enough of it. That 1 great cop out of 10, well those other 8 saw him or her do the right thing instead of group think complicity. That's how we empty the rotting barrels of apple's across this nation, you good apple's stop lining the top disguising the stench underneath that thin blue line of who really is good, please...We are counting on you. GOD knows we the people don't want to have to right this whole motherfucker ourselves and nor is it even possible without commendable leadership. Stay golden good guy's, you shit bird's otherwise know we're fucking watching that ass so help us and quit fucking around harassing citizens, extorting and corruption because it really would be nice if you'd join the good side for our country's and children's sake if nothing else. GOD bless everyone. Overturn Terry v Ohio, Qualified immunity and PA. V Mimms while we're at it, we gotta fix this shit people it's gotta keep getting better, all aboard🇱🇷🇺🇲.
Flannel and a Flipped watch, grunge machine, spitting knowledge ... love your channel !!!! I’ll go ahead and drop myself! Continued success !!!
I was thinking about what you were saying about milliseconds mattering, and when I equated it to the ADS (aim down sight) or sprint out time in call of duty, it started to make sense. When entering a gunfight, like you said, milliseconds matter, especially in CoD. Thanks Mike!
Our department just made the switch from the Serpa to the Safariland SLS, no issues with it in my four years there but so glad we are modernizing.
I will come out and say that I am primarily an airsofter (though I am starting an interest in the real-steel stuff, and trying to shed weight for the Army), and I have practiced drawing a Glock replica from a Cytac-branded Serpa knockoff numerous times; the Cytac holster has a larger paddle with a lot of it resting above the trigger guard area. So with this practice, I've gotten to the point where my finger is sitting on the frame of the pistol well above the trigger guard by the time my pistol is free from the holster.
With all of that being said, I was turned well away from paddle-type holsters after last weekend at a pickup game (just an open pay-n-play, nothing big like MilSimWest or Lion Claws). One player on my team was running a Serpa for his 1911 replica, and eventually had his pistol jammed in the holster when some dirt got into the paddle mechanism. Needless to say, that was all I needed to decide against ever using paddle holsters in field conditions, whether airsoft or real-steel in the future.
Did you end up enlisting in the military?
Can we get a forum called "Mom's Basement" to talk about our favorite anime body pillows and gear?
The intro to this video is pure gold. Made me smile
I've used a both a SERPA style and a Safariland ALS holster.
When using the SERPA, I would always draw so my finger landed on the slide above the trigger guard. It was pretty ingrained and felt natural. However, I would never recommend it for two far worse reasons: First, If you had to hit the dirt ( or sand, or snow) before drawing and any sand, mud, or snow gets behind that button, your release is jammed and drawing is impossible. Second, and this actually happened to me, that little button's pin worked itself out and the button fell off the holster. I had to find it and reattach it before I could get my weapon out. Far too unreliable for an EDC.
Then I bought the Safariland and it was love at first draw! It is the smoothest, most natural draw with great retention! I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Drop leg holsters look Kool....and universally hang up in every vehicle mounted weapon system turrets....the fix is to mount your polymer holster to the top of your armor kit.
The best material for a holster is Peruvian beaver pelt. The best place to wear it is right above your your boomstick canted due south in direction towards your strong side. Mine has been embroidered with "Ive got your 6," its pretty much a guarantee to win in any gunfight with this system.
can you do a vid about fitness and health? it seems kinda stupid but it's part of being able to be a combat keyboard warrior
That's what the 3 Jeffs are for, ie Cavelier, Nippard and Nichols
You're very welcome
Your humor cracks me up in between the excellent info you put forth! Keep it up. Also, keep up the shooting video you interject.
Im glad you started your video the way you did because I scrolled down to hit the bell and realized youtube had unsubscribed me from your channel....
Dude your intro never out of fashion! commenting 2 years later!
"Hans Solo Vibe"- love it!
Thanks for all of your videos. This one really helped me understand what's out there for duty type holsters, which I've been really wondering about here lately.
A note on the ALS type holsters they are very very popular in sandy environments at least in my experience its prefered that I use them by my agancy and I live in a state with sand , its just something to think about that SLS canget jamed up rolling around in sand or small rocks , being said all mechanical devices can fail have a back up weapon
Was really hoping you'd say "professional operators"
Another reason for the Thumb Guard on that Safariland is to combat the "Parolee Chop" I've seen guys who have practiced dropping their hand pinky first onto the inside of the holster like a karate chop and they can disengage both the hood and ALS in one motion. Out of curiosity a couple buddies of mine tried it and found with little to no practice we could do it with a fair amount of ease on holsters without the thumb guard. I would STRONGLY recommend a thumbguard if you're using a holster with a hood and/or ALS especially if it's a duty holster.
As usual excellent video keep up the good work.
I have the safariland SLS for a 226 with surefire X300V. Had to take the flashlight cup out of the bottom to make it fit, but that "tactical fuzz" really hurt my draw so i pulled it out no problem. Now i love it.
By far the most informative, and well thought out videos that I've seen. Thanks for the solid info.
as for the leaning to the side a bit,.. I would note the lean is used as well to take the business end off line from your foot or leg.
Great video, even 6 years later. Thank you...
This is honestly my favourite gear channel.
On the rare occassions I see people open carry in public (usually fuds with their 1911s) it's always a damn leather holster and it's usually one of the ones that isn't designed for any specific gun and retains all pistols equally poorly across the board, or worse one of the floppy cloth holsters that looks like it's made out of a mousepad.
Most practical video yet. Keep going down this path.
My department uses the safari land 070. After disengaging the thumb break and middle finger break snaps you have to rock the gun backwards. It's probably the most secure retention holster ever.
Learher bianchi outside the waist holster for the 1911; be sure to get the thumb break/snap. That keeps the firearm securely on your hip and will retain said firearm as you move....as for drop leg holsters, well every year we had at least a couple guys shoot themselves trying to learn quick draw.
I’ve been using the G-code XST. Couldn’t be happier. Best holster system I’ve ever owned.
quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Thanks for your work.. and humour
The humor in these videos is great, honestly half the reason I watch them is to see who he throws crap at in each video. However, the information presented is definitely a reason to keep coming back as I have learned more about kit from these than from other videos or forums on facebook. It doesnt mean much though as I am just the lowly nerdsofter, and by God keep the jokes coming. Are you sure Haley is dad or just the original clone from which you were spawned?
Congrats on 20.000 Subscribers!
I caught that little "my father" slip lol. Keep it up man. Too many people think they know when they actually don't.
I had a spectre gear style holster made by TAG, used it all the way till 2012, pretty good holster for my needs and when i drew it took the "saftey decocker " on the m9 off for me
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, but you are mistaken about the ALS hood. It is actually intended to be used as a seatbelt retention device when getting in and out of the car.
Solid recommendations. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoying the dry humor and constant amount of jokes at the beginning, but really appreciate the information about the different types of level retention holsters. I am kind of curious as to whether or not someone could use or mix certain products from T.Rex-Arms and G-Code and use them interchangeably. For example: would like to use the QLS system T.Rex-Arms offers, but have an RTI G-code holster system, while adding the leg strap. Kind of a lot to make a holster system work for mid-ride, but just some thoughts.
Love your content man! Thanks for taking the time to learn us some practical knowledge.
I have had a BLACKHAWK CQC drop my GLOCK just by being shaken upside down (NO MAGAZINE) We test stuff too.
Had to come back to this video cause I am setting up a duty belt and this was the best knowledge I could find. Thanks for the video
9:00 Got the Blackhawk version, and another problem I've found is the switch on my THOT detector got pressed whilst holstering my weapon....ending in a very dead battery when I really needed to shine some light on the H.
I used to use a drop leg holster for hunting because it kept my pistol clear of my pack and winter coats. Over time I found that on long hikes into my hunting spot, it would actually pull my hips out of alignment. Walking out at the end of the day was usually very uncomfortable.
Great content brother. Glad your channel is growing.
Just picked up a light and RDS Ragnarok from trex arms for my Walther pdp 4.5" full size. Love it so far, threw it on a safari mid ride.
This channel should have waaaaay more subscribers than this 20k?!?! Come on guys! This is knowledge at its finest.
Haha he definitely blew up. I don't remember when I started watching, but it wasn't this far back. Maybe in another year from this video.
I am subscribed 50% for the knowledge, and 50% for his lowkey humour!
Got issued a self locking system that was not Safariland and the hood was so flexible that if you didn’t hit the thumb pad just right it would just bend to one side. Can’t believe money was spent on a holster that retains your weapon so well even you can’t draw it!
My kinda dude. If you don't look cool, literally nothing else matters
One of the problems I ran into with a drop leg holster in Iraq 2003 was re holstering on the move with zero time to re-snap the retention. My M9 fell out crossing a street in HIT Iraq during a fire fight, that sucked! I got rid of the drop leg holster after that. Also sucked trying to run!
How about a Video on camo? I like the camo on your MK18
Great videos man! Really enjoy watching and learning. Keep up the great work!
I've always thought that about the SERPA holsters, but I'm glad to have someone more qualified than I say it!
"If you don't look cool, literally, nothing else matters."
Solid content all around. I'm so excited about finally looking cool.
Great info, with the most important advice being the "look cool" bit. Fake it 'til you make it! Shared many times.
When he said holsters that have been used to kill a lot of people I immediately thought about somebody being beat to death with a holster. I guess that’s an added benefit of the quick disconnect system
Big fan of the single strap. In Afghanistan I was issued a serpa drop leg and I took off the top strap and brought the whole thing higher. because it wiggled too much on my leg. I've got Safariland holsters now and I love them so much more. Used to be a serpa fanboy... those were dark times.
I've used the Safariland SLS for many years and it's a solid holster for sure. However, I've noticed that I had to pay attention to maintain the "tactical fuzz". It would start to peel and sort of fold over into the holster and tend to bind up on the gun. I also noticed that after a while, the fuzz got quite sticky when it got wet. It would start with having trouble reholstering, then binding up on the draw. I've recently transitioned to the Safariland 7TS ALS and so far, not experiencing any of that. For kydex, I've used G-Code, BladeTech, and CompTac and all have performed really well. Mostly in competition use. I'm trying a couple of Ragnaroks now as well. They seem solid.
Great information with a good combination of "stick to the facts" as well as personal opinions. Of course, the entertaining quips here and there. Haha
Full Russian tank battalion died try to save from my mom basement so you better not underestimate your moms. Also great video as always. In Russian airsoft only small percent of people use pistols as last chance weapon on their gear, most of them use pistols only in cqb tipes of games.
Excellent piece. Well done.
So if you’ve come to the comment section looking for advice on the mid ride holster, I’d say just go for it. I’ve been using the mid ride for the past two years in comp and woods carry, I highly recommend.
