Do you carry while at home?

Ri22o · 06-14-2008

Just as the title says.

Do you carry while you are at home? Why or why not?

W9ZEB · 06-14-2008

I carry at home. Usually because I was carrying wherever I was before I got home. When I'm ready for bed, the pants with my belt, flashlight, spare mag, knife, wallet, cell phone end up next to the bed ready to go.

Now that I tightened the MTAC I don't think I'll drop the P30 on my foot again...... (ouch)

Same as Lars. If I'm outside of the house carrying then it usually stays on when I get home. Otherwise it is usually in the same room as I am.

I usually take my gun off as soon as I walk in the door, however, there is always a gun within arms reach in my home.

I'm having problems with the retention on my MTAC. It is loose when not worn, but tighter than I would like when I wear it. I have the screws almost all the way out too. I'm thinking it may be that my shorts' waist is too tight?

Also, is there any way to add another option to the poll?

You might try giving Comp-Tac a call about it. There may actually just be a problem with the holster.

Adjusting the screws definitely adjusts the retention, it just seems a little more retented? (haha) when I am wearing the holster. I'll try it with a pair of my regular pants and see if that changes anything.

I've got the two screws on my MTAC almost completely tight. I want a holster that keeps the gun where I put it, until I remove it. I'm certain if I had an all Kydex holster the draw would be much faster, and re-holstering would be also. I don't find all kydex holsters comfortable to wear all day in my current shape (round)

Took the class today (June 14) with the holster like this and had no trouble with drawing or holstering the pistol.
