Fire from the holster

As you can see holsters come in different sizes and shapes from top performance ones to aftermarket cheap ones.   So, what is a good holster to you?  To me a good holster is one that works for me.  Meaning, that when I am on deployment, executing a search warrant and/or just everyday carry, that holster will perform its duty above and beyond its normal functions. Getting it in the dirt, mud or whatever the weather conditions are it will be reliable.   The four holsters that you see in the picture above is what I use while in the performance of all the duties I do.  Below you will find the descriptions of all the holsters I use.

Remember the best holster you can have is the one that bonds with you and your weapon.  Always take care of your gear and your gear will take care of you.
