Apr 10th 2020
The Glock is an Austrian made series of semi-automatic pistols and is very popular among police officers and law enforcement officials across the world. It is also a favorite for people seeking a personal firearm for self-defense. They are made out of a plastic polymer and are popular because they are durable, accurate, straightforward, and easily concealed.
The Glock was invented in 1982 by Gaston Glock, in an effort for the Austrian Armed Forces to replace their P38 handgun. There were 17 criteria that needed to be satisfied for the Army, including that the gun is self-loading, use 9mm rounds, and prevent accidental discharge. In addition to satisfying the 17 criteria and having a standard magazine capacity of 17, the Glock 17 was Gaston Glock’s 17th patent.
It was first mocked when it came out, due to its new yet distinctive features, such as a hammerless firing system, polymer material, unique safety system, and overall blocky design. Since then, it has become one of the most popular handguns used by police and army forces globally. It is shock-proof, resistant to liquids and extreme temperatures, and easily disassembled.
Inside-the-waistband (IWB) Kydex holsters provide the best and safest way to carry your Glock. Kydex is an extremely durable thermoplastic and highly resistant to pressure, temperature, and chemicals and is easier to maintain than leather holsters. IWB holsters are the most secure way to carry a concealed firearm.
While many other options such as ankle, thigh, shoulder, or bra holsters may hide the weapon well, they do not provide the quick access that IWB holsters provide. A safe and secure fit is important for carrying a gun, and you should be able to reach for it quickly if and when you need it.
Using a Kydex IWB holster in conjunction with tactical gun belts is the safest way to carry a concealed firearm. Gun belts provide great strength and flexibility for your holsters, keeping your firearm secured. A comfortable, well-fitting belt and holster combination is important if you are carrying daily and you want a secure concealed fit.
IWB holsters can be used with normal clothing and have metal belt clips that fit comfortably on, and even just a light shirt can successfully cover the firearm. In warmer climates, a sweat guard can make this fit more comfortable. Concealed carry holsters are becoming more and more popular among undercover or special law enforcement officers. Those who carry guns off-duty or undercover prefer Glocks.
