I can't help that other people drive into my bus, especially people named Jayekumar driving Kia Sportages. "But I put my signal on" does not suspend the laws of physics.

BTW, as far as this thread goes, the money spent on a Comp-Tac holster, should be considered an investment. Regardless of the purpose, you are doing yourself great favor by running reliable kit. I've yet to hear about comp-tac or blade tech failure, aside from those who purchase the wrong style for their purposes. I hear nothing but grief about Fobus.
 
ya, but at 2x to 5x the price, you kinda expect it to be better, don't you? i mean, i wouldn't use a chef's knife bought at the dollar store to make sushi or sashimi at a restaurant, but i'd happily make it part of my camping / travel kit. and if i'm just taking a cooking class to learn how to cook better at home, i wouldn't need a $300 ceramic knife - a $40 steel one would be sufficient.

if he's just taking a few courses, a simpler one might be sufficient. doesn't seem like he's interested in competition, though (unless he's changed his mind after some thought)

Everybody has an opinion. If nothing else he will learn from experience what holster to buy after the fact. Buy what u want and what you think will work after reading all the posts, well the pertinent ones anyways. 'Nuff said..

true that, and that why we all have a drawer full of mediocore holsters badck in our gun room :) but for some reason we keep them just in case....
 
was on eBay yesterday doing some other stuff, and came across a (fobus) holster plus dual mag pouch, both paddle, for a 1911, for $20 shipped. seems like a great intro package for someone just wanting the basics. probably better than a floppy nylon and affordable enough to get ya through the first few months of shooting (and maybe longer).

if they're so mediocre, then why do you bother to keep them? in case your high-end custom tactcal night elf pro carry elite $150 holster breaks? or to lend to newbies at the range?

so far, i like paddles for lighter guns like a glock, but not for heavier guns like a 1911. i'm thinking that for heavy guns, a belt would better since it attaches lower w.r.t. the gun mass and there's less of a "hinge" effect like on a paddle.

because they are worthless to resell... and agin, where are you getting these huge prices, my bladetech stingray combo pack which includes a holster and a double mag pouch is only $55 US and bladetech ships to canada via USPS for actual shipping cost. so a total of under $70

you stick with your fobus... I allready had my fobus fix and gave them all away. mostly to people I did not like.

i'll take 'em for free. i'm sure i could find a use for them or give them to newbies at the club to get them started in the sport. we've got enough people joining and getting started and at times a spare holster would be great to have - or even to give so that they can begin to practice how to draw and reholster properly (hand position, grip, etc)
 
Yea I looked at those but nothing for Sigs, I'd have to use my Beretta 92...

What's the simplest easiest-to-use gun you have? Any reason you want to do the course(s) with the Sig? When I did my IDPA course I was using a Beretta 92 and I kept having to remember safety-this and hammer-that and whatever else, and since I was on a course that only lasts a certain amount of time, getting tripped up by those things was something I could have done without. Maybe take the course with (and buy a holster for) your simplest gun and then practice the extra details on your own time at your own pace.

seriously dude, your ignorance is showing again.... sig 226's do not have safeties on thier "normal" models..... the procedure with them is to decock the pistol, once decocked there is no safety because the decock lever resets itself.

the sig line is as easy as a glock as long as you remember to decock before reholster.... otherwise you have a live gun in the holster.

show me the safety....

That's why I picked it - no safety, but I am no expert by any means, figured the less bells and whistles the better:

pizdets, that is an awesome gun and one that s going to last you a life time, again you have great taste. sig's are ###y, simple and one of the more reliable guns out there.
 
Timmy, you really can't read worth a damn, can you. I was referring to the safety on the f'ing Beretta I was using. I know that a Sig has a decocker, but if I mentioned a decocker you would have said that a Beretta doesn't have a decocker or some other idiocy.

Learn to read, ya tool. Don't infer or mix up words or put round pegs into square holes.

A Glock is as simple as it gets because it has NO safety levers of any sort to remember. The (old) Beretta has a safety, the Sig has a decocker - in the end, it's the same damn thing: an additional "safe" control to remember.
 
"as easy as a Glock" as long as you remember to do something else that you don't need to do on a Glock otherwise you're holstering an 'unsafe' handgun

* sigh *
 
pizdet - seems all your toys are equally 'complex' so you may just have to shell out the $80 that Timmy is telling you about. This assumes that the Sig is gonna be your main gun for the course(s) and the rest of your shooting.
