Maybe someone knows on this forum… Does anybody make a Kydex holster that has a quiet presentation ?
Or G-Code.
Why though?
Suede and synthetic linings wear out instead of in like lined smooth leather and the extra noise they make on presentation is a give away of position should you want to stay discreet. I was hoping that the kydex industry might respond to the benefits of leather for the lower cost.
How big of a deal is this? I have been thinking about it since I read the post. I have argued it several ways in my head.

That is one of the things I like most about the carry gun matches. Since the first match I attended I have changed or eliminated some of the gear I had and even one of the compacts I used to carry got moved out of my list of what I carry now and I feel I am better prepared because of these matches.
Exactly why I put it out there. The fact of the matter when it comes to personal carry in our vast gun culture one must question/test his/her equipment to the fullest. Many CCW peeps get their ideas from the industry marketing majors or maybe from some sort of shooting sport, when in reality they find the fails with a dropped gun (discovered usually when no one is around) or better yet, be like the dweeb that left his piece in a sofa at IKEA with out knowing it. What ever equipment the shooter commits to, it needs to be just that, a commitment to test for ALL the street possibilities. For me, Kydex is to incohesive, noisy and not to mention breakable for my taste in street carry. Kydex is cheaper to buy though than my quality leather lined holsters built specifically for my gun. But again, to each his/her own.
Happy New Year to all INGOers.
“Many people confuse concealment as cover.” That is from an ISP swat team member who gave a active shooter training class at workOn the ccover thing. From a buddy on the ISP Swat Team : "Unless you're carrying an engine block with you, you probably have no cover. Contrary to TV, hiding around the corner won't get it done"
It is not the odds of needing a gun but the stakes. That is the way Tom Givens describes it. He has the data and the experience. Why are you confident that you can out shoot a perp? Because you are that good or because they are that bad or a combination. Clyde Barrow was pretty good. You cannot count on them sucking. You cannot count on the bad guys not getting lucky. They do have several things in their favor. Plus anyone of us can miss. How much practice do you have in a stress filled environment?
Matix and Platt in Miami in 86 we pretty good shooters also.
