info on leg holsters?

[Candychikita]

as a newb, there appears to be a LOT of stuff out on the market. i've heard a lot of complaints about a leg holster being bulky and not being able to squeeze through door frames, as well as it wobbling a fair bit with a piece in it. it seems to be the right fit for me, regardless of the issues.

for those of you out there using a leg holster, what brand do you recommend/live by/swear by?

as well, i've seen a modular leg rig from Tactical Tailor and holsters that you can swap out on the same platform with each different gun (holsters have the MOLLE system at the back that just loop through)...anyone try pairing these two things together? (normally the holster is strapped onto a vest) does it work in a drop leg holster scenario?

thanks for any light you can shed on this topic!

Safariland 6004.

Unless you are wearing hard armor plates or have some Tomb Raider fetish, wearing a drop leg is sort of pointless. Get a good belt holster that is specifically designed for your pistol rather than some universal one that gives a mediocre fit on most guns.

i used the Blackhawk Omega while i was in iraq it worked ok but i also had a few others i used depending on the mission. had a belt one for around post. and had one with velcro on the back for sticking to my vest. its all on what you feel best with at the time.

i use a Safariland 6004 but im thinking of jumping to the bladetech WRS with their new TMMS system.

i like the drop leg because i have long arms and wearing my pistol on my belt and wearing anything on my upper body from a simple chest rig (what i prefer) to a full plate carrier completely screws my draw stroke. so thus why i keep it on my thigh. i have no issue going though a door i have yet to try getting in or out of a car with my drop leg on which i hear is another big issue with drop leg systems.

the trick i used to stop the wobbling is some clear bath room cocking on the straps in thin beads, cheap and works like a charm.
