I personally prefer the old tanker style chest mounted holster, but you did make a good point about people flagging themselves when using hip mounted holsters too.

When you operate with a chest-mounted holster, you are constantly violating one of

the four firearms safety rules. 'Nuff said.

I think most safety nazis have probably shot themselves in the foot, so thats why they are paranoid in case other people are as stupid as they are. Not likely though.

I agree that practice, discipline, and proper handling are the real safety system for any firearm, but I would have to say that a side holster is safer than a chest mount because in a side holster, the weapon is pointed at a relatively less critical area while mounting/dismounting the holster. And it's only your own body it's pointed at. Not true of a chest mount where the weapon is pointed at your own critical areas and quite possibly that of the person next to you.

@ManOnATractor That horizontal holster is Discontinued sadly, it was the Horizontal molle holster made by Tac Force

[RYaNmAN2790]

I wear a chest mounted holster. I like it because it doesn't bounce around when I'm running.

[ManOnATractor]

Where can you get the horizontal holster? I can't seem to find one anywhere. Aside from Googling I've tried PFIdude, Midway, Brownells, CheaperThanDirt, Amazon.com. Thanks!

@danieldefenseM4 I don't know who is hiring people on your team that are incompetent enough to cause these situations. People run front and back with firearms, charging into chaotic situations. Personally, what works in the field, works for me. With plates and pouches everywhere, I can't access hip holsters. Those instructors you refer to are more concerned with liability issues. No one complains to me with my serpa molle holster strapped to my chest.

@Solidgun

Uh, soldiers and law enforcement do it all of the time. I do not know of a single competent instructor that recommends much less uses a chest mounted pistol. It is an accident waiting to happen. I would never want to be standing beside him when he draws or holsters that pistol. And whoa, where did drop leg holsters come into this? That is completely different, and I do not have a problem with those. The only problem with them are the inconsistency in draw.

@danieldefenseM4 With all the gear that has to be worn in the field, I am not sure how someone would use hip mounted holsters. So if you don't see the benefits, that means you obviously don't need it. Some of us do because when enemies shoot at you in the real world, chest mounted and drop leg holsters actually work.
