New Holdster

Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 7:47 pm

I just ordered a MIC for my Glocks so I can carry appendix style when needed or appropriate. I watched U-tube videos until I couldn't take it any longer, so I ordered one. Heck, for $20 or so, can't beat that!! I'll give y'all a review once I get it and try it for a day or three. Their slogan is "Don't shoot your Dick, use a MIC" Cool

I'm liking it so far. Just got it in the mail today and have been wearing it for about 2 hours. I know, not long, but I'm sitting at the 'puter typing this with a loaded G19 pointed at "Big Jim and the Twins".............correction "Jim and the Twins" and don't have to worry about a NG because the trigger is totally covered and inaccessible with this thing. A bunched up shirt or underwear cannot creep in there........nor can you discharge your Glock stuffing it in your britches.

So far, I'd have to say it's the most comfortable holdster I have for my G19's. Totally disappears also. No one looks at your crotch.......usually.........so it's actually the best spot to conceal. More later. I interested, go here www.glocktech.com

Well I must say, I do not believe that I would buy one of those. My primary problem with that holster is the cord that connects that holster to the belt. If that cord for any reason becomes disconnected during the draw, you are then pointing an unusable gun. Also the slack on the cord is another potential problem. During a elevated stress reaction, your fine motor skills diminish, so you could potentially accidentally drop the gun when the slack of the cord is let out and it snaps back. Lastly, whenever you put your hand on a gun to draw it, you ALWAYS make sure that the gun is not pointed at yourself. With your gun tucked in your belt there is no way to not have it pointing at yourself. That is just an invitation for an accident. Having this many issues, I would never use a holster such as this. But that's just my opinion.

You sure it's not a codpiece dude? It looks too small though, but for you maybe it would work. haha just kidding.

Dude, have you ever tried to break/snap/pop parachute cord???? This stuff may wear out, but it ain't gonna break or get "disconnected"!!!! Do you really such a person as I would let the "string" get that bad/worn/tattered that I wouldn't replace it???? But rather that have me argue it, why don't you go here and watch the U-tube video. www.glocktech.com Go to the customer comments part of the site.

If, and only if, you're "packing the mule train", this holdster may not be for you!!! Cool

I don't think that means you, Mike!!!!!! Very Happy

I'm still wearing my G19 in this little bad boy, and I can tell you this.............it's the most comfortable holdster that I own..............bar none. If you own a Glock...........any Glock..............it doesn't matter............this little holdster fits them all, you owe it to yourself to try it........... and it's only about $20.00!!!!!!

Can you sit with it on? Can you drive with it on?

No you cant drive with it on. Not in Illinois and not in Wisconsin.

That is a very interesting holster. I am letting the video load cause I just can't quite tell how the holster works just by reading about it and looking at it. I can't wait to see the holster in action.

I am not saying that the cord WILL fail, just that there is always the possibility of it failing since it is a man-made object. And it does not necessarily have to be the cord that fails, it could be at the connections, Anyway, all I am saying is that I would not personally use it, not that it is not any good.

Another problem that I can think of is that the way you have to draw it there is added movements that you do not get with a traditional holster. The rule is that you want the fewest movements possible when drawing your gun. When your body is in a alarm response mode, your fine motor skills go to crap. Your body is working to 200 mph and you need to be able to easily train all movements to mussel memory so you can effectively draw your gun.

Once again, I am not downing this holster, just stating why I personally would not use it.

I meant can you physically drive with it? For when you are in better states? Can you sit comfortably with it on and draw from when seated?

I knew what you meant. I just wanted to give you s***.

I can sit in my 'puter chair, in my truck seat, get in and out of my truck seat etc. with this bad boy on. Can I get a combat grip on it......no. But I can't get a combat grip on my C-TAC or my SmartCarry either. You have to sacrifice something for deep concealment. Aphex, I didn't mean to come off so harsh in my prior post. I just tell it like I see it.

If you're the body type with "dunlap", this holdster and style of carry probably ain't for you. I don't have 6 pack abs, but I wear 32 inch waist pants, I'm 5'11" and weigh 180lbs, and carrying appendix style with this little holdster is more comfortable and way less noticable than carrying at 8:30 with my C-TAC with an appropriate cover garment.

I probably couldn't squat like a catcher and be comfortable in this, but you wouldn't see it. If I squatted like a catcher wearing my C-TAC, I'd print even with a large sweatshirt on.
