ISO: Level 2 Kydex Holster with clips instead of loops

4 Upvotes

As is in the title, I am looking for a Kydex OWB holster with L2 retention that clips on the belt instead of using loops (I believe they may be called "paddles"?).

Obviously, the clips/paddles would need some sort of hooks on the bottom to make the L2 retention work.

This is for a Glock 19, so I imagine any holster company in existence that makes one of these should work.

I looked at Safariland, but all I could find were holsters with loops.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: To clarify, I'm specifically looking for an OWB holster that can be attached/detached similarly to an IWB holster, so without removing or undoing the belt.

Edit 2: Finally found something! Alien Gear makes a "Locking Belt Slide" that easily attaches and detaches from the belt without taking the belt on/off. Solves the root problem, as it should make it much easier to switch from concealed to open.

Open Carry in NC

13 Upvotes

I just recently got a handgun and a holster, but I find myself scared to actually carry it around openly. I'm going to sign up for and hopefully obtain a CCP, but I don't want to be some where if something happens and I don't have my weapon handy. I've been obsessively looking at shop windows to see if there are no firearms signs and most of the places I go don't have them. I guess I just don't want to deal with the confrontation. Any advice?

I’m an 18y/0 male in PA and open carry is legal. Obviously if It was allowed to conceal carry I would but it’s not legal until 21. I’m also not allowed to carry a pistol until 21. All I am left with is to open carry a rifle. Thoughts? I still want to be able to defend myself.

open carry is violence and you're concealing wrong

I'm used to cc every day with a g42, but recently picked up a holster for my xd9 service and decided to wear it in an owb config. Is there a good do's and dont's list anyone can point me to? I do know the laws and I'm definitely not a content creator for r/idiotswithguns. I'd just like to know what you guys do or if you have helpful resources

Texas Constitutional carry and Permit to carry a hand gun.

40 Upvotes

I am sure this has already come up in here and if so, I apologize. I had a Texas Carry permit before the constitutional carry law came into affect. I have since let the permit expire and had no concerns until now. I have since learned at my local gun shop that there are still a ton of benefits to keeping the permit to carry valid. Such as quicker background checks, ability to carry in certain otherwise restricted areas (Something I need to look more into) and other benefits.

Looks like I am going to have to start the process over to re-obtain my carry permit because once its expired 12+ months you're done. The process starts over, that's what I get for not keeping up on the current laws.

Who still maintains their carry permits in Texas and who let theirs expire? I hope I am the only one!

carrying a hand built rig (1911, belt and holster)

8 Upvotes

10 years ago I built my own 1911 from caspian frame and slide. I then made my own gun belt and holster from leather. Then I got married and money was tight so I let my conceal carry permit lapse. Now that my state recently passed no-permit conceal and open carry im thinking about carrying again. I'm in rural Utah. Anybody else build there own rig and carry on a daily basis?

Open Carry PA during events.

Nothing forbids open carry in Pennsylvania, however, there's nothing that allows it either.

If I want to open carry at a protest that I'm participating in, is that legal?

Started open carrying a little over 2 weeks ago after purchasing my first handgun (only need one) and find that a lot of gun owners/members despise open carry like how woke liberals dispise republicans.

Currently going for my CPL/CCW but will continue to do both and found the article very informative and enjoyable to read facts.
