Mission First Tactical Minimalist Holster

You may have noticed that I have an untucked shirt and I'm carrying another type of holster from Mission First Tactical, and it's actually a belt clip and this is one of those types of holsters that set up to cover the trigger guard and as you notice, it's really much larger than the typical minimalist holster. Now, this one happens to hold this PD10 really well. You'll hear it snap out of there. This actually is set up for a Glock 43 primarily and what you're gonna see here is it's got some features that I haven't seen before in a minimalist holster. First of all, it's got one of these little wings that puts back pressure for the appendix carry position against the inside of the belt from inside the waistband and that means it's gonna tuck even the full-size grip of the PD10. Now I can't carry the full-size grip PD10 in a typical appendix carry holster, the kind that I use, the chopped grip when I carry my XDS, four-inch in, I need one of these types of devices, either the wedge, which pushes the gun back in and I don't find very comfortable at all or this wing, which I really like. The other thing you see here is a very rugged belt clip. Now this is a clip, it's not a loop, but it covers 360 degrees and it's got a very aggressive J hook there that's going to keep this stable. One of the things that I don't always like about the trigger guard type holsters is that the problem is they tend to not be very secure in this direction. So if you picture somebody wearing the gun inside and then something happens, they turn or they get into a fight, something hits the butt of the gun, pushes the gun out. Now you've got a loaded gun with a round in the chamber and an exposed trigger, most of us carrying striker fired guns know why that's a horrible idea as far as this floating around inside of our waistband inside of our pants. So the fact that this is so secure is actually really really important to me. It's very, very secure and it's even more secure on that Glock 43 but all of the designs that they make are designed to hold onto the trigger guard of this specific firearm. Sometimes you'll find other firearms that fit. The other nice thing about this belt clip type holster is that it's ambidextrous. So it's actually sewed up, set up for a left-handed guy, I'm right-handed, so it's flip flop that, put that belt clip there and you'll notice this little hole down there. That hole is not a screw hole, what that hole is for is to be connected to a lanyard. So if I wanted to be extra careful about pulling this out and not because the retention is so good coming out with the trigger guard in place and not being able to defend myself, I could lanyard this to my belt, now, when it comes out, that gets held behind. The other thing you'll notice about that is, that when you take this off then you could attach this to a lanyard and put it inside your quick access safe inside your staging area and what that's going to mean is that when you reach down and grip your gun, that, of course, will be connected to the box through that lanyard when you reach down, you can't fire the gun, you get your good grip, pull the gun out of here and now you are ready to defend yourself in your home or workplace or wherever it is that you stage the firearms. So, the Mission First Tactical holsters, in general, have been really great. This is the first time I've been able to evaluate one of these. I'm gonna spend some more time with it, but so far it's really, probably, the best trigger guard type holster that I've seen. It's got all the features that you might want, and it comes from a name that I trust and you should probably consider too, for all of your accessory needs, whether it's for ARS or now for holsters Mission First Tactical
