It was a joke. Purple is used for sarcasm.

Reported ​for incorrect use of the sacred purple!

Would a drop-leg be more comfortable or worth it while hunting or would it get caught up on brush too easily?
(Obviously depends on where you are hunting but...for those who have tried.)

i use one while hunting and whenever I am working in my woods, it can get caught on brush, but no more than the other gear getting caught up..

it just allows one to carry more stuff on the body and still be able to get to the sidearm

Drawing from a drop-leg holster is also demonstrably slower than from a holster worn on the waist.

Why slow yourself down unnecessarily so?

Drawing from a drop leg is actually faster if you wear it for the reason it exists... to clear plate carriers/gear. Also, I see a lot of people wearing them ridiculously low, which isn't what you want either. You really want to mount it as high as you can and still clear your carrier. Mine is actually only about 2 inches lower than my standard holster and the draw is fast.

I wouldn't recommend them for most people, they're a pain in the ass to run in for any length of time and they do stick out a bit further and tend to get knocked around/snagged on **** more.

Didn't most of the fasted cowboys wear drop leg holsters? Or at least dropped down to some degree.

That's what we call a Buscadero rig, I don't think they are as low as the drop leg holsters.

Yep.
I had to go look at mine hanging in the other room. I think mine is even lower than yours.

I have seen some of the new military drop legs type that are really low. Like probably too low. Almost to the knee on some. Not sure that correct though.






*My rig is very old, heavy and more Plain Jane. Boy, yours has all kinds of purrdys all over it.

I replied to this yesterday I thought, but it isn’t here? Those things SUCK. I bought the Hoffner version, HOT, uncomfortable, bulky, and it looks stupid unless you wear one on each side, then it looks like you have fire starter thighs. All in all a fail, and waste of mone6.

That's a Heiser rig from the 20s, the Colt is from 02, the Winchester from 97.

WOW!
That looks to be in great shape for the 20s. Mine is all crusty and fragile.

We’re still talking holsters, RIGHT?

Buddy of mine sent me this the other day. Ruger 357 and 44 long barrel

I only carry a drop leg holster if im wearing plates. And even then, I have the drop leg holster as high as possible. I prefer to carry on my hip, as its easier to get to when running vs a drop leg holster.

I have a safariland UBL mid rise with the QLS system on my range belt. It is nice because as other have said it gets the handgun a little lower and away from my plate carrier. The qls system is awesome, as long as you have one "female" on your belt, you can put all the QLS "males" on holsters and switch them out very easily. I will try to post a few pictures.

 

[sheepdog697]

Here is the QLS kit it has a "female" and a "male" piece. Once you have one female all you would need are the male attachments

Here is something similar to my UBL except this has a cant feature. You put the leg strap behind the female QLS plate btw

This is a holster from Trex arms that is a compatible with suppressors, but they make a bunch of different versions. He is using everything that i posted above in addition to his holster. IMO This and the gcode version are probably the two best leg mounting systems available now.
