2 years ago, I started to use this little contraption: BravoBelt Belly Holster.
And finally, it needs to be retired. I made calculations and to summarize, it was ridden hard and put away wet for about 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for the 2 years. As with most things elastic, it is no longer doing its thing, understandable after certainly a long time of abuse. I wore it during periods of constant movement and exertion (and lots of sweating) and not once it felt I was carrying the gun in an insecure manner. It always was kept secure which is the most important part of the deal.
I bought another one and it is ready to be abused. I am not going to screw with a proven concept.
A lot of gear is somewhere between consumable and durable goods. Maybe call them wear items. And that middle ground seems to cause cognitive dissonance in some.
.
Magazines are an example. In one class I took, one person didn’t want to just drop the mags on the ground during an exercise (fire to empty while moving, reload and resume fire while continuing to move) because they were new, and might get scratched or dented. The instructor very kindly pointed out that that was why we each were told to bring 5 magazines. (Prior to taking the class, my impression is, she had one magazine.)
Appreciate the input and follow up, thankya
Bought one a tried it my self, didn’t really like it. I’ve got a philster since, I like that quite a bit more.
