Alternate title: Two is one, one is none. <\/p>\n
Not a good weekend to be my equipment. <\/p>\n
On Friday, one of the kydex belt loops for my Raven Concealment holster snapped while I was getting into my wife’s car. I’ve had that holster for three or four years, so I wasn’t really surprised.\u00a0 Back in July I ordered some IWB clips to replace the OWB loops. I hadn’t received them yet (nor had my debit card been charged),\u00a0 but that hadn’t set off any alarm bells since Raven is pretty famous for multi month backlogs.
\nLong story short, they switched systems and lost my debit card info. They emailed me about it, but it went to my spam folder. I’ve now ordered again, including replacement OWB loops. Expected wait time is 2 weeks. <\/p>\n
Related to the holster failure was my Insight M6 getting jacked up. See, I carry my Glock with a light and laser. That’s why I got a Raven holster in the first place: at the time they were the only people who offered a holster for my particular combination. I went to my backup configuration, which consists of a Serpa* for the Glock and a Fobus holster for the light. The Fobus is basically a paddle with a rail on it. <\/p>\n
What I didn’t realize is that it is directional. You’re supposed to carry it lense up, because there’s a block that keeps the switch from engaging if you do it like that. Yeah, so apparently the light was on for about 45 minutes straight while I was in the car. <\/p>\n
Right now the laser-only option works, but anything involving the lamp doesn’t. I’m hoping it’s just that the batteries have enough juice for the laser but not the light, and not that I killed the lamp. <\/p>\n
*Yes, I know about the safety concerns, but it’s all I have for a backup holster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
