Picked up a Comp-Tac holster for...

In-Yo-Grill · #1 03-17-2010, 06:33 PM

my P45. Got in on clearance thanks to rkirk for the heads-up.

This holster fit my gun like a glove and there is no play whatsoever. It just slides in and snaps in place.

Comp-Tac makes a great holster. Got a paddle holster for my new CW9 coming. My IWB holster is a Crossbreed Super Tuck.

I've had a Comp-Tac tactical paddle holster for my CZ 75B for years and love it.

Someone requested I take pics of the holster in use so here they are...It's a little tough to photograph yourself.

Yeah...that was just a quick tuck. If I do it right then you wouldn't know I'm carrying.

how does that ctac/sob carry feel when you sit.

So far after a week of using the CTAC it feels best just off center. It doesn't bother me while I sit at all. I did try it closer to 7 o'clock (left-handed) and didn't like it at all.

Call me confused, the picture must be swapped somehow. The pic of the holster itself clearly looks left handed, I was feeling sorry for your handicap, but the pic of you wearing it appears right handed, hmm the pants tag over the pocket? Isn't that usually over the left back pocket, course could be either way I suppose. Maybe another cup of java and it will make better sense.

I would strongly advise you to get that pistol off of your spine. A simple fall with that steel slide over your spine could be crippling. It is not at all uncommon to get knocked on your ass in a fight, even a gunfight. If you fall on that gun there is a strong chance the fight will be over for you.

I have broken my back 3 times. I have 8 compression fractures and one burst fracture. I have lost 3" in height due to the spinal compression fractures.

Two weeks ago yesterday I fell very hard on just the area where you gun is. I fell from a porch that is two stairs high onto asphalt. If I had been carrying a gun over my spine it would probably mean a wheel chair for the rest of my life. As it is I have been in tremendous pain but at least I'm walking

When I broke my back the second time just falling from standing to sitting. I will not bore with the details. 21 days in the hospital, 3 months of full time bed rest. 7 months out of work (mostly office work I was a Quality Eng. at the time).

Third time was a re injury of #2. 19 days in the hospital, 5 months of bed rest. Lost my position as a Quality Manager.

I have been in serious pain every minute of every day since Nov 1973. The Docs are pretty much amazed that I can walk at all.

Please, PLEASE re consider carrying that wonderful piece of steel over your spine. It is a horrible fashion that we see on TV and in the movies. It is a terrible idea. Please believe me when I tell you that it can happen to you.

I sincerely appreciate the advice and will take heed.

Bawanna...the reason it looks different while I'm wearing it is because I took the pic in a mirror. At least I think that's why it's different...lol
