Do you test your gear? Do you do this routinely? Learn from my Mistakes – #99
To some this may sound a little funny or even crazy, but if you are new to firearms and or concealed carry, I recommend this practice when trying out different holsters and gear. I would suggest testing your gear while imagining a potentially dangerous scenario… a situation where you would need to get to your firearm (or non lethal device) quickly. What happened?
To be as realistic as pretend is…pretended someone was approaching you with a fixed and intent stare – you know how that stare can make you feel. Imagine a lion about to attack, that’s the sense of a situation we after.
a fixed and focused stare
What would you do? Would you say anything?
After giving some verbal clues as to “I CAN’T help you!” and raising a hand as if to push them back – and then (safely) drawing your firearm, or pepper spray / stun gun or other device.
How quickly were you able to get to your weapon? Would you be able to defend yourself in time?
Did the holster or pocket act as intended? Did objects stay put?
I for one found this exercise rather startling!
I had a “sticky” style holster I was using during a training event. For those who are familiar with this style of holster, the compression and friction are what keeps the holster in place.
Rubberized texture “sticks” in place
I like a “sticky type” holster because it’s slim and easy to put where ever I want it. I don’t have to worry about belt loops being in the way.
However, in this training environment, I didn’t want to expose and reveal my Non-6 pack abs, so I had a T-shirt tucked in, THEN my sticky type holster on top of my shirt and inside the waistband of my pants and a good sturdy belt. Can you imagine my surprise when drawing my firearm AND the holster can out with my firearm!! The trigger was covered and I therefore, cannot pull the trigger! A great thing to know about ahead of any real situation.
Needlessly to say, I caught me off guard, and others, but it got me thinking about my gear.
This, of course, was practice, thankfully! Practice is so valuable. I’m sure many of us don’t do it enough. So T-E-S-T- out your gear!
I want to encourage you to make that a new habit for this year. Let’s set a goal – to dry fire and pull your weapon from the holster and concealment. I know you want to be able to defend yourself and never be a victim.
