How is a Paddle Holster Good for Concealment?
Aside from the apparent comfort, can you choose a paddle 1911 holster for discreet carrying? Will a paddle holster render a well-hidden carrying holster?
One may, but you have
to be mindful of some of the shortcomings inherent in paddle holsters as a class
of items, what the expected usage of one is, and recognize whether your paddle holster will fit well for you.
But that relies on the leg holster you're getting.
Why Do You Get a
Paddle Holster?
For ease, but that's
not new, of course. That's the reason one has been used for decades.
Historically, both detectives and people who may or not take their weapons off
for a certain amount of time have been doing it.
The theory is that an
investigator or lawyer with a license should take off his pistol to go to
court. The public should put a gun in a desk drawer or a safe or holster mount
while at work, at home, or wherever you have it.
Tips for Using a
Paddle Holster
Since you've never
tried one before, there's a few hints, tricks, a few things you need to be sure
of before you take a dive and continue using a paddle holster.
Next, search for a
style with a paddle extension worn on the waistband or behind the buckle.
Although the latter is a little less comfortable to carry than the former, the
paddle attachment behind the belt is more secure.
No matter what you are
doing, a paddle holder with a paddle embedded in the waistband can shift a lot
faster than a more traditional holster, particularly anything like a high-ride
belt slip. You'll feel it when you walk around; with every step, there's a
little lateral movement.
This doesn't mean that
the holster isn't safe if you've bought a model with a very well-designed
paddle attachment. But that's because the holster isn't going to be pressed
against the body to the same degree as a different holster design; that's what
makes the motion.
