Update: Just ordered a Blackhawk SEPRA 2 CQC (410502BK-R) and am going to try & modify it to work. Might use the Blackhawk Mod-U-Loc or just make my own bracket. I'll let y'all know if it works...

(I chose to get the Blackhawk Level 2 in case of any young/nieve passengers in my truck)

Level 2 in a Blackhawk translates to level 1

 

Yeah, Blackhawk counts 'friction' as first level. Guess my post should have read "I chose to get the Blackhawk Level 2.." Just wanted to get across point that I recommend at least some mechanism to prevent novices from pulling the gun. Majority of kids/girls would't know about or see the release button. Safety first!

I completely agree. I use their "Level 3" holster on duty. The draw/releases are very natural, smooth and quick, but the security just isn't there compared to others I've used. It's basically a level 2 holster.

UPDATE: Saved $12 by ordering online.. but it won't get here until Dec 28! Should have just paid full price in local store.

 

 

Here is a holster I have looked into buying. I see you have a Glock (good man). I have the 22C and it is beast. Pick your model and it will take you to the correct holster. http://www.desantisholster.com/store/SEARC...t-Holster/Glock

 

Nice idea, but I'm not loving the strap across the seat.

That's what my cop buddies have also said about 'Level 2' ..great for conceal carry but not a safe duty holster.

You guys who carry all really use multi-retention holsters? I've carried 2 Sigs and now my Glock in open-top, friction retention (I don't know what else to call it) holsters for several years now without issue. I've never had the pistol even come partially out of the holster, even crawling around working on vehicles or being tackled to the ground by a friends kid (landing on the pistol sure hurt though! :cheers:). I'm not worried about someone grabbing it because it's under a shirt or coat and even the few times I've open carried, almost no one notices.

Mike- I respect your opinion... but why take that chance?

 

You never really know what people are thinking/capable of... situations can change in an instant. If someone gets the drop on you and goes for your gun, it's nice to have those extra few seconds while they struggle with your holster.

IMO, the levels are really about preventing someone from using your firearm against you (or bystanders).

 

 

In this case, for my vehicle, I chose a single-retention just to stop a curious passenger from pulling Glock without permission.

I just don't see it as an issue I guess. This time of year the pistol is under my jacket and you simply cannot tell I'm carrying. Even under just a t-shirt in the summer you'd be hard pressed to see it unless I did something like bend over where the shirt is stretched out some. I'm willing to sacrifice whatever security the LII or LIII holsters may offer for access- people can talk practice and muscle memory all they want, but if something bad happens, I want my pistol deployed right then, not after I push some catch and/or tilt the butt forward to release it. And in the end, with my interests/lifestyle or whatever you want to call it, I'm rarely someplace crowded where a stranger would get that close to me. As it is when I'm out in public I keep my head on a swivel as the first key to good personal defense is situational awareness. I'm confident that given the places I frequent, no one will get that close to me, unless I want them to be. As for in the vehicle- I don't have kids and anyone who rides with me knows better than to go digging through my console, where I usually keep it when I'm driving. And if someone should make a grab for it, there's always plan B. :cheers:

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
