The joys of being an old head.

[Sherman A. House DDS]

I spent way too much time on ebay hunting for old duty gear. I'll have to post up some pics of my wheelgun rigs.

I’ve got all my original rigs from my early career choices, even the UNCLE MIKE’S duty rigs!

My collection of rigs I actually carried on duty in patrol is simple:

• 070 in Safarilaminate for the S&W 4006
• another 070 in Safarilaminate for the S&W 4006 as the thumb break on the first one was cracking
• 070 in Safarilaminate for the Glock 22

My original agency didn't allow for any other rigs; however, they have since gone to the 6360.

I carry in an ALS now, but I sometimes carry a wheelgun in Class As and have an assortment of old rigs.

Yikes! I hate the Uncle Mikes duty holsters. We had some in the academy and during weapon retention drills I pulled the gun out of the holster because the body side of the thumb break pulled out.

I'm surprised by the amount of love the 295 is getting. We still issue it and training new shooters on the draw can take a little time. The retention also doesn't give a lot of confidence. We're hopefully changing to a different holster in the near future.

I loved my 0705. Saved my ass one night fighting with a rapist. Never could get sub second draws, but got close. A buddy of mine could consistently do .95 second draw/hit at 7 yards.

I carried a 5906 in a 070 from 1990 to 2006 when we went to the M&P40 in 6280s and eventually 6360s. I went to the academy and my first several months on patrol with a Security Six in a simple Safariland thumb break. Back then we did have a couple guys using break fronts.

Didn’t NYPD ditch theirs since they were so easy to snatch from?

Yes. They had a couple of snatches. One resulted in a bystander being shot in the head by the Perp. They used the 2955.

That's good to know. I wasn't aware of the NYPD issues. We're in the middle of a proposal to change holsters along with some other equipment. The gun grabs are good info for the project. Thanks.

They had several in a couple of week time period.
