Yep, ran one of these POSs

🤮

Well you didn't have a choice i guess lol

I normally ran it off of belt or on my chest though

I don't care for drop leg.

Yeah i don't really like drop leg because it slows me down

It gets irritating after wearing it for a long time.

I want the weight more balanced and up to the center.

Rather than on my leg.

Oh man I don't have the picture anymore but there was one of a guy on Facebook. He had a baby holder chest rig thing with molle on the outside, and his serpa mounted to it

Father of the year

Omg, that is cringe, hahaha

And checked safariland, they don't make the kind of holster I want. The ones with light cuts, don't have optic cuts.

JM custom kydex makes some good stuff. I have an owb holster from them for competition and class, but it looks like they don't do active retention. Very high quality kydex though, it's thick and grips like crazy.

Hmmm, thick you say?

It's ugly as hell, but if it works, it works.

Comes in different colors at least, though lead times can be a bit long

I've got one for my vp9 with tlr1. I also have a couple cheap kydex holsters for comparison, and they feel completely different, almost like they're using different materials. The cheap ones are super flimsy but this thing is rock solid.

I've also noticed that no companies make holsters with a TLR-3 as a light choice. So I may have to spend a little and also get a TLR-1

Fuck it, I might just have to find a guy to make me a custom holster again.

I had a custom one made, but I didn't have it molded for a light.

Yeah tlr1 is the only streamlight flashlight that people usually make holsters for unless it's a subcompact, in which case tlr6

I might just upgrade to the TLR-1 anyway for it's more rugged construction.

Plus, I sitll got one of those old ass Army drop legs that were thick nylon. Hahaha

It's a good light. They also make extended switches for them

Roast my little hackjob. Chopped the 17 frame to a 19 and added grip tape

There's much more to be done. That's just the start.

But yeah, the TLR-1 is nice, I'll probably go with that. Or look at a Surefire X300 maybe.

I like it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Not sure yet

Like honestly, the grip tape was an awesome cheap mod.

It's actually a camoflauge barrel wrap tape. But... it's basically a thick padded grip tape

I might end up upgrading the trigger. I'll putting a red dot and some suppressor height sights on though. Maybe get a threaded barrel down the line too.

Gonna regret that grip tape later bud

So far I haven't. I even went so far as to put it on my ARs with A2 handles. But hey, if it gets to be a pain, I'll remove it.

Actually, while I have some time. I'm gonna do a little shooting before work.

Why regret it? @Crye_Salesman

I can think of two possible reasons... 1 That most tapes have a sticky residue that can be left on the weapon's surface. Mine does not, so I'm good there. And 2, the material itself can start to irritate the shooter or possibly come loose from friction/wear and tear.

However, even if that were the case, it is very simple for me to remove.
