Very well said.

Sounds like you've learned a lot from your USSS career

slip on shoe? dude you have NEVER been in bad situation. YOUR BELT IS NOT up to the job, have tie with velcro in back of nect loop to rip off. CHEAP ankle holster and ankle holster at all? you are NOT a real PSD guy...

That plastic anti-grab flap on top of the Safariland is retarded . The retenrltion lever that can be purchased separately that covers the ALS lever is good to go however

25:58 through 26:02 he's placing the firearm down with his finger ON the trigger. Clear or not, dumb. Very dumb.

Brother, I work close protection too and lived your video….spot on! What model Breitling watch was that?

Is the TLR-1 lamp not compatible with the BLACKHAWK case?

My first light was a Surefire 8X. That thing was pimp in it's day. I've had the Stinger LED for over a decade now, albeit a little beat up (ok, a lot beat up). I wrapped the main grip in paracord. Protects the body and the button. Also makes it fit easier when you hold it up under your arm pit, being thicker in the body.

I hear you brother but it's hard to believe you're unbiased with that thin blue line on your wrist.

Safariland holsters are just ugly imo. They look like giraffe heads.

The strion is still king.

He’s absolutely right. We can tell when cops are undercover because they bulge everywhere their weapons are.

Why in tarnation would someone need a light attached to their gun? Pointing a gun at someone just to use a light is insane! Plus the lumens necessary to "Blind" a perp is not going to be obtainable with that small of a light anyway!!!

Billy bullshitter

Good one.

I am not what is causing issues holstering the Alien Gear Rapid Force as countless other people on and off YT don't have this issue.

Good Suit now a days companies make them with Stretch Materials 1 pistol with Light 1-2 xtra mag with +5 extension Good Kydex Holster Tenicor safari land Next or Kore Belt TQ Small Ifak Flash Light Knife Multi tool Possibly Asp baton AirPods N-ears ear piece Glasses Shoes with laces Clip on Tie

“Retention” & “Release” are TWO TOTALLY different things…. My draw is faster from Blackhawk holsters!!! Just like you train for the extra step with the Safariland, you can get the rds hood to lock forward during the draw. Your SL “bias” shows, but all in all a good video!

As a cop of 20+ years and a jailer before that, I HATE Streamlight! Their earlier products were terrible and their new products haven’t gotten much better. There are so many better options these days. Streamlight is just a name that’s recognized. And so many department heads just go with a name. But they are total CRAP!!!

What about UrbanCarry Leather Lock holsters for CC? I'm thinking about getting one. PS just ordered my first SafariLand holster. I only went with the Level 1 ALS

AGH got the keys man. Never going back to SL

Out of interest, could someone explain to me why 0.40cal is so popular? I prefer a 9mm SIG Sauer P229 for personal security. But I have seen many people opt for 0.40cal.

Great video, really good camera angles to show the guts of all 3 holsters. Appreciate you 👊🏼

Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!

You know nothing about EP Perry Ellis belt? That will last about a month and will break at the worst possible time Slip on shoes? Why would you cut the soles? Bostonian shoe company every year has an employee run the Boston marathon in their shoes. So maybe try them Two guns? That’s a lot of weight. Your job is to get your principal out of there not to stay and fight . An asp, spare mags, flashlight, a large knife to “cut a thread”, a monocular in your pocket How do you get in and out of the car? Your cell phone has a clock on it, but sure add a watch for extra weight. Notice he didn’t put this stuff on, because he would look like a tool who could barely move.

I know this is an old video, but here are my two cents after 22 years in the business. Shoes can be purchased with rubber soles. I'm a very big fan of the shoe brand Allen Edmunds, Oxford with Dainite Rubber Soles. you will spend a bit more on them, but I have shoes that are 10-15 years old.

Safariland ✅✅✅

Yeah those shoes gotta go my boi, you pull up and pick up a client in those they’ll fire you on the spot

Thanks for sharing this, I'm a newbie to the industry and its nice to have this information

Suggestion of gear recommended by secret service would be suspenders to hold up your pants because your gear gets heavy.

Two MAJOR NO NO’s to your setup: NO to the shoes…. CIA teaches laced shoes even dress shoes in the event you have to run. Slip on shoes can and will fall off. NO to your belt… Midway USA carries many concealed carry THICK leather belts that come in both casual and dress styles. That belt is FAR TOO THIN especially with all your heavy gear.

Still have my original Streamlight from the year 2000 😮😂

Hihihihi

Can you help me get in this company as a worker, out in the field

Would love to see a try on where things are and what it looks like

Such a "haven't actually worked EP in a long time" video...shoes and belt are cringe. 40 w/ laser...of course. #trustywatch

Those shoes need to thrown in the garbage sir. 🫵🏼👉🏻

Alien Gear is unable to except mods too slides !! The Holster becomes a level one ! Just went through the whole system on this. Not secure for duty use in that configuration.

List: Ugly black shoes. Check.

Your trigger discipline is horrible

lol, you said cocking.

Comms suggestion: look at ear hero. In-ear speakers abt size of a grain of rice. Able to maintain full SA and no coiled tube above the collar.

So what kind of juw are you

Where did you get your holster at for your Glock 22?

Can’t use neither of these holsters because none of the companies make a holster for any XD’s !!

Do uniform pants no longer have sap pockets? I carried an old Streamlight SL20 for most of my 25 years on duty. It was a great tool.

I agree , what has the up date been on this issue???? I'm wanting to make a purchase.

Load out lol. You american make me laugh how you try and make everything tactical and like you're constantly going to war. Come over to the UK and try doing it without weapons!

Put this video on 1.75 for a normal speed. Come on man, write a script next time if you have to. Too many pauses.

Does the contour paddle go inside the pants? I’m so confused and no video shows how it goes on the belt/person.
