If you’re a sheriff, police officer, or constable, you wear your gun on duty almost every day of the year. It’s incredibly important to be well-practiced with your gun in order to keep yourself and those around you safe, but even more important is choosing the right duty rig that allows you to perform at the highest level while still being safe and comfortable. If you’re not sure what duty rig to choose, read this post to learn how to select the ideal leather duty rigs for sheriff, police, and constable.
How to choose the right holster
When it comes to choosing the right holster for your needs as a sheriff, police officer, or constable, there are a few things to keep in mind.
- First, you need to consider what type of gun you will be carrying.
- Second, you need to think about how you will be carrying your gun – on your hip, in a shoulder holster, or some other type of carry.
- Third, you need to make sure that the holster is comfortable for you to wear all day long.
- Fourth, you need to make sure that the holster gives you easy access to your gun.
- Fifth, you should consider getting a holster that has a retention strap or some other type of security feature.
- Sixth, you need to make sure that the holster is made from high-quality materials.
What’s the difference between open carry & concealed carry?
There are two main types of gun leather rigs: open carry and concealed carry. Open carry means that the gun is visible and accessible, while concealed carry means that the gun is hidden from view. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Concealed carry can be a little more comfortable because it doesn’t have to be as bulky. Open carry offers more protection in an emergency because it’s ready to go and you don’t have to fumble with clothing to access your weapon. But it also makes you stand out like a sore thumb if you want to stay inconspicuous.
The best way to determine which type of rig will work best for you is by considering what sort of tasks you do on duty, where your regular assignments take place, how much concealment is available in your area (if any), what type of clothing you wear on duty, how often/quickly officers need their weapons, etc.
Choosing the right duty rig has its own unique benefits. If you are having trouble finding the perfect setup, you can order a customized one instead. Make sure that whatever company makes these rigs has a good reputation though. Call Black Hills Leather at (956) 744-3219 to speak with Rudy and place an order today!
