Ok, I’ll be the weenie that gets himself blasted…
I’ll admit it, I own several Fobus holsters, and actually carry them often while on ranch chores.
I have one for my G-19 & 23, one for my Kimber 45, another for my XD 45, one for my 92F, and last but not least, one for my Walther.
I find them to be very useful around the ranch since unlike the leather I typically carry off ranch, the Fobus does not have problems with rain, oil, diesel, animal droppings, or mud. Heck, I’ve been known to throw it in the dishwasher after an exceptionally dirty day.
Another advantage to Fobus is cost, they’re cheap. I figured when I broke one, I would just replace it, and would still be way ahead of the game on cost. The only problem is that in 4 years of using them, I still haven’t broken one.
I’ve been knocked down by cattle I was doctoring, thrown from irritated horses, I’m constantly climbing onto and jumping down from tractors, and have never had the weapon fall out of the holster.
Now I have no experience with their IWB offerings as all of mine are OWB paddle holsters. None of mine are Robo…they’re all basic holsters.
My carry when in “Town Dress� is leather OWB or IWB depending on what I’m wearing and where I’m going. I’ve recently bought some higher end Kydex holsters and I must admit I’m fairly impressed with the quality of manufacture, comfort, and speed of presentation. Both the leather and higher end Kydex are more comfortable then the Fobus, and I am thinking about using the Kydex for ranch work due to the comfort.
But for now, I’ll probably continue to use my Fobus holsters for ranch work until they wear out.
Now that I’ve admitted to the sin of not only owning, but actually wearing a Fobus holster, let the berating begin
