« Driving to Blackwater | Main | And on the return from Blackwater »

Blackhawk Co. van

Posted by David Hardy · 27 August 2008 01:44 PM

This was our transport down to Blackwater (click on thumbnail for bigger image). Pretty nice! It picked us up at the hotel and then stopped at Blackhawk's headquarters for a tour and presentations. We were issued a pair of their holsters, which were VERY nice. One version has the gun held by an adjustable detent. The other has a detent plus a clamp on the front of the trigger guard, which you release with your index finger on a button on the holster's exterior. Both have a cutaway front for faster draw and easier holstering. For those PDs requiring three-point security, they have all that and one with a housing that fits over the rear of the handgun and is released by your thumb during draw.

Of course that's just the beginning -- for the military, they had the same holsters that could be fitted to the center chest area of body armor, and some that could be mounted in multiple locations.

New Second Amendment lawsuit as a human rights complaint. (Slamming the NRA for ignoring my Second Amendment case for the last 6 years. Because of their negligence my Second Amendment case has escalated to an international human rights complaint at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

Wayne LaPierre talks the talk of fighting the U.N. gun control agenda! But he does not walk the walk when confronted with my Second Amendment case as a human right.

Dave,

Those Serpa-lock holsters require some training, as there've been several instances of ND's that users have had when drawing their pistols (predominantly Glocks).

The big problem occurs with folks who have large hands, they tend to use the tip of their trigger finger when they draw, and press very hard.

This extra pressure causes the finger to snap into the trigger guard, as the fingertip drags along the holster then is suddenly "released" when the holster ends. Result: Bam

I've recreated this situation a dozen times to verify that it can happen.

A friend of mine shot himself in the leg (using an Airsoft Glock, fortunately), however a German competitive shooter wasn't so lucky, and put a bullet in the back of her leg, as reports go.

I know several gun schools who won't allow these holsters due to this issue. I think that's a bit overboard, but it is what it is.

It's a training issue, plain and simple.
