Nah, when people act like morons I just like to make sure they know they look like a ignorant fool.
@ThatWouldBeTelling @mandlebro
While i agree on the second half, that level-2+ is great to prevent people from snatching your gun, I disagree on your first statement about button on the outside.
2 out of the three level-2+ holsters I have are button on the outside. I have never accidentally hit the trigger hitting it and even if i did the safety would have protected me. So its hard to see a real issue there unless you dont have a safety, in which case I'd say the concern is very valid.
It has to be considered situationally. Im running a 1911, so it has 2 safeties, the palm safety and the switch itself. So a whole lot of mistakes would have to happen all at once to get a misfire.
@PBruce I have no real issue as seeing it as a cult.. but that is unrelated to the initial point I made anyway.
@thor You mean Elon?
@TruthSandwich @BigMcLargeHuge @lowqualityfacts
A proof by contradiction :)
@SteelFolk The purpose is to protect the hammer/gun from catching on something. but there are two types, one of which isnt considered a lock/retention.
@TruthSandwich Fuck that shit.
@TruthSandwich Ahh so you have the kink too... enjoy :)
@SteelFolk Yes the flap that exists is usually one of the locking mechanisms... If that is the only lock/retention in use it would be level-2.
@TruthSandwich In all seriousness I actually had a offer from SpaceX a while back. I declined it but at the time it wasnt because Musk was in charge... since then my view of Musk has declined significantly. So now I'd be even more hesitant.
@TruthSandwich Dont judge their kink!
@TruthSandwich For the tickles, duh!
@freemo you have to be careful it’s those button releases. A bunch of people have shot themselves because of button releases where if one uses the index finger and maintains pressure after the gun is drawn the finger slides into the trigger guard. For my revolvers I use thumb strap holsters, for autoloaders I use “level 1”
@mandlebro Depends on a few factors.
So my level-2 has the button positioned near the waist, so no issue of that regardless.
My level-3 has two buttons, and one of them is positioned like you suggest. However since i always have the safety on that wouldnt be an issue even if it did happen. So far that hasnt been an issue for me even with the safety off.
@TruthSandwich Nahhh, affirmative action is way better. Everyone knows racism is like antimatter, it goes away as long as everyone expiernces the same amount of racism.
@TruthSandwich Nah just affirmative action that shit up... randomly arrest some white people to balance out the numbers and were good to go!
I just bought a level-3 holster. I now have every level from level-3 down covered. If you were to **open** carry what level holster would you use?
For reference the levels are as follow:
level 1: Friction retention only (this is most holsters)
level 2: Friction retention, plus one locking mechnism (A button to release)
level 3: Friction retention, plus two locking mechanisms (usually a guard for the hammer plus a button to release the gun)
@TruthSandwich The 3x magnifier isnt for CQC itself, though the fact that it is a flip away is... the 3x magnifier just makes it versatile enough to be used up to 100 yards in a pinch without getting in the way of the 1x or adding too much bulk like a scope would.
