Is the Glock Safety Holster Available in Canada?

it's never to late to learn, here's the crash course:

1- reasonable and necessary force. Don't hit first, don't use a closed fist, always be yelling 'get away from me, stop hitting me' etc in the loudest voice possible.

2- don't try to absorb energy, redirect it. You're not arresting someone, you're defending yourself. In a 'street fight', a bystander is going to be calling 911, and someone is going to be recording the whole thing on their phone. This is good if you're being smart.

3- Just like in hockey, defence is all about time and space. You need time to react to someone's aggression, which means creating space between you and them. The NIKE defence is the best- put space between you with your feet moving as fast as you can.

4- if you've got a gun in a holster on your belt, under your arm, wherever, defend it with your life, and have some kind of 'less lethal' option to defend yoruself.

Dont forget my story either. Post #70.
 
O, and remember if you carry a weapon(tool) DO NOT take it out unless you plan to use it. It can be taken and used against you. If it is a serious enough situation to warrent deadly force then your assailant should only see it as he/she bleeds out on the ground. Sorry to be so harsh but, this is the reality in a life or death confrontation. As I was taught, "you dont leave a fight with weapons without bleeding" unless you are very, very lucky that is. This is why in this situation evasion by any means should ALWAYS be your first choice.

Buddy, you're bringing me down. I was having fun until you started your Bla-Bla B.S.
Sorry, you are quite obviously young or young in the head.....the more you post the more obvious it is (to those of us that have) that you've never punched anyone in the face in anger and never dealt with it in the bar parking lot.
Go and take a poo.....you'll feel better.:cool:
{yea, I too am as equally pleasant in person;))

totally missed that, I was taught basically the same thing- if you're doing edged weapons defence, expect to get cut, and plan accordingly.

##### slap if you want, it's pretty reasonable if someone's being a #####, or you yourself a are a #####, just remember that if you hit someone, there's a VERY good chance they'll hit back.

Most of the strikes I learned were palm-heel, which look very much like pushing someone away to the casual observer, but when applied in the right place, are very effective.

This isn't the place for an unarmed combat technique thread. I again will say that the OP's question was very valid, just the way it came out sounded pretty mall-ninja. I've been there, done that, been flamed for it, learned my lesson.

We are answering a question about martial arts man. Try reading the whole post. And, I dont appreciate the slander. And, yes I try to avoid fighting at all costs. I was always taught it is the last answer. Doesnt mean I wont if I have to.

lol, yeah talk about a derail. And, I agree.
 
Looks like a "blackhawk level 3 duty" might be very good bang for the buck. Any thoughts or better options?

Consider Safari Land ALS, some say the Black Hawk's release button can place your finger on the trigger when you draw. The Safari land doesn't appear to generate the same concerns and the release is operated by the thumb not the trigger finger.

It (Black Hawk issue) has been attributed to operated error, so consider how much legitimate instruction you are going to receive and how much practice you plan on doing.

Also consider if you need level 3 which is usually used for uniformed individuals as its a more bulky locking mechanism thus harder conceal. Compared to a level 2 which would be less bulky while still offering retention and easier to conceal.

I would agree that Level 2 retention should really be sufficient for what you are looking for. Level 3 retention systems are generally cumbersome and require a lot of training to be able to operate optimally under stress. Personally, I like the Blade-Tech level 2 retention system. I find it to be both quite secure and intuitive to operate. Worth looking at for sure.

These are the exact points I've been going back and forth on. Using Blackhawk as an example their level 2 concealables look the most promising in terms of versatility and safety. Level 2 probably is the way to go.

Thats my opinion. I run a level 2 when I want retention. Thats all the retention I need. My competition holster isnt even level 2 it only has friction retention. Its a DOH Bladetech and I am very pleased with it so far. My buddy has the Blackhawk level 3 and I find it to be too much. There is a tradeoff between draw time and retention level. The idea behind a level three is to make it even harder for someone to forcefully remove your pistol by using two different locking devices. The problem is under pressure even with training it can hinder your draw time as well.
 
I'm most concerned with retention but... a concealed holster already has some protection against being forcibly removed by virtue of being under a jacket.

True. Keep in mind though, even with these locking devices, anyone that knows anything about holsters can still get your gun out pretty quick. Protecting your sidearm is key. Being conscience of your surroundings and knowing where others are in relation to your sidearm is your best protection. Thats why you will often see off duty police always keeping there arm in the way of their sidearm. They are guarding it out of instinct. Unfortunately guarding it too much while carrying concealed can give you away to someone who knows what to look for.
 
Any Thoughts on placement?

I'm going to take a trip to my local shop and check out the Blackhawk SERPA CQC level 2 concealment holster. I suspect I'll get it. Any thoughts on positioning. I'm looking for something that is out of the way as much as possible for hand to hand but can be accesses in extreme need. I'm thinking a shoulder harness but maybe on the belt behind he hip might be best.
