My good friend and firearms coach @buliwyf_actual let me use a spare belt and training holster set up that is identical to what I wear on duty so I can beat on it to see how it holds up in training. In addition to rolling and having friends pull on the grip to test the retentions, I recently did 3 sets of the following while hanging onto the holster with a training gun: 10 pullups, 10 seconds of hard pulls, and 10 seconds of hanging from just the grip. Total time under tension about 1 minute 30 seconds. I used a @safarilandgroup belt, Safariland holster (6360RDS ALS/SLS), Safariland UBL mid-ride, and a QLS fork and receiver. Also installed was a Negative Cant Plate (NCP) by @the_theory_police / @blackboxcustoms_ and it was all held together by Safariland OEM factory bolts.
I did some draws afterwards and everything appeared to be intact from the belt buckle to the holster retentions and the NCP. Having said that, Anthony said that the cumulative effect of doing this repeatedly would eventually cause break. It is very reassuring to know the entire set up was able to handle that and not break. I’ll keep at it and let you guys know if anything happens. #bellevue #police #weaponretention #trainweeklyorfightweakly #jiujitsu #selfdefense #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom
