He he....yeah, it sounds like you've worn one for a living like I have. The car is the most uncomfortable place to wear a holster, not only sitting down, but I remember my patrol car's steering wheel had chunks of foam missing out of it because of said holster
A swivel could be possible. I've done a couple of multi-postions rigs for a department in the past...it swiveled and locked in for different carrying postions like; FBI cant forward, cross draw on the left side and even rotated to be used for a small of the back holster. The PB pistols being as big as they are, I doubt I could get it to do all of that, but a swivel is a possibility...
Chaos,
Do you have a couple of pics of the CIP Super Stock??? I am not familiar with that..

The idea of a “quick draw” simply does not happen very often (read: seldom to ever) in real life. And with a hip holster with swivel, you can tilt the weapon forward when seated in a car and it rides comfortable as well as out of the way of your seatbelt or other things you may have.
So while the thigh offers the marker/weapon at a more relaxed arm/hand position, it just doesn’t get used in that manner often enough IMHO to warrant the extra stuff and downsides of a thigh holster.
Sure, a lot of folks like the tactical look of a thigh rig, and you see them all the time in paramilitary pictures, but as someone who has used both (for both military as well as Law Enforcement situations) I will go with a high hip holster any day over the thigh rigs… or of course a shoulder rig, for all the same reasons I listed against a thigh rig. I just think too many folks choose their setups for paintball (as well as other purposes) for how it looks, not how it actually works.
Again, good luck Windwalker on your sales, I like seeing top end products like these. And leather is just so classy and “natural”. |
