Best Holsters for EDC | Safariland, Tier 1 Concealed, and TXC

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Welcome back to Reviews of Equipment (ROE). In this video, I'll be covering my favorite IWB concealed carry holsters for EDC, including the TXC Holsters X1 Ally, Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite, and the Safariland x Haley Strategic Partners IncogX. None of these are bad options, but it took me awhile to find what I like and don't like in a holster. Let me know if you agree!

    I landed on the tier 1 axis elite because I was looking for something that works with a tucked in shirt for work. No complaints so far. Was expensive for sure. Went to a entertainment place with my wife and kids and they had a no weapon policy. Was able to tuck in my t shirt over my Glock and wore a flannel (not tucked) over top. Had 0 worries what so ever I was going to print or my flannel would come up when I picked up my kids and expose my Glock. Maybe more holsters have the tuck in feature than I’m aware of, but when I was doing my research Warrior Poet society had a video specifically talking about tucked in shirts featuring them, then their page had a nice video explaining their tucked in options. Seemed right to me and like I said no complaints so far.

    If you get a light bearing option for the IncogX, is the light required for proper fit/retention still if the retention is based around the ejection port instead of the light itself? You actually brought up a lot of features about the IncogX I was unaware of. I hope they make one for lefties now because I'm very interested after watching this video (currently have T1C Axis Elite non light bearing)

  • @defencivsolutions

    @defencivsolutions

    28 күн бұрын

    Just took my light off and tested it for you. Short answer: yes, it does still fit in the holster (the Glock 19 + TLR7 version, at least) with proper/snug retention since it uses the ejection port for retention and the trigger guard for stabilization. Long answer: I wouldn't recommend it. Once it is in there, it fits just fine and you honestly can't tell the difference, but re-holstering is extremely inconsistent because the light helps guide everything back into place. It is kind of like trying to put a normal 5-fingered glove on if you were missing a finger or two. It's possible, but the process is a bit inconsistent. I would recommend you either get a light, or just buy the non-light-bearing version of the IncogX. The last thing you want to worry about is an inconsistent reholster process because the muzzle is pointed right at your junk...hope that helps

    I have three txc holsters . I love them for their looks and customization . And i highly recommend buying that 20 dollar thing that gets rid of the cord that holds the mag and holster .

    I’ve been a T1C fanboy for about 3 years. I have 4 different ones for my different setups and am MSP for my TLR-1HL. I need a new setup for my m&p 2.0 work a tlr7, and just found out they don’t do adjustable sweat guards anymore. Only mid height is available to help with streamlining production. Needless to say I don’t feel like dropping close to 200 bucks unless it’s exactly what I want. I’m going to give the Safariland a try (if they make it for the m&p 2.0), I especially like the way the retention works on it based on what you said.
