Members Bondurant Posted June 22, 2010 Members Report Posted June 22, 2010 If I have a .45 and 4 clips of ammo, it's not likely that anybody is going to use my shoulder holster against me!!! BTW Beautiful work on your rig Josh! Having a firearm, accessing, discharging, hitting your target, stopping a determined/high BG, ending a fight, then doing the paperwork is a unpredictable process. The "I have a gun, I win" attitude is one that gets people killed. Quote

In the late 60's, when I started in law enforcement, it was very startling to find that a BG, standing 7 yards from me, could arm himself with a toad sticker, get to me and get that sticker into me before my reaction time and subsequent response with a firearm, could succesfully deter him. The uninitiated may believe that this is BS, however, all of the law enforcement agencies I am aware of teach this, show practical examples of this, and reenforce the fact through periodic training. A person may be quick a lightening and slicker that snot with his shooter when on the range and ready, but on the street, when it gets down and dirty....instantly..... it's a whole different game!

Members BigRiverLeather Posted June 23, 2010 Members Report Posted June 23, 2010 For those of you in the know, if one were to use lighter leather for the harness, what weight is a good weight to use? Also, would you make it a little wider where it goes over the shoulders? Quote Big River Leather

What advice do you have on a holster to prevent you from being hung up or a BG using it as a dog collar? Any thickness of leather or nylon would have to be cut if you got hung up, and I haven’t seen a breakaway holster yet. If it could break away, wouldn’t then the determined/high BG have your gun?
