 The
High Noon
Pocket Grabber
By John Luering
I bought a Taurus PT145. I'm still working on a
better set of sights, but it's basically running just fine now.
Recently, I bought a pocket holster, the "Pocket Grabber" by
High Noon, from our friend, Syd at "The
Sight Quartermaster". It is an ambidextrous design which has
a pebble-grain rubber outside that grabs the pocket material and
releases the gun on the draw-stroke. It works great.
Today, I had the opportunity to test the system.
Since it was in the high 70's, I didn't feel like wearing a cover
garment. I went shopping and had lunch. The Taurus and 10 rounds of
230gr. Hydra-Shok rode in my left front pocket. After I got used to
the weight being there, instead of on my belt, it went quite well.
Truck entry and egress was easy. I did some bending and poking at the
Home Depot. After I got home, I did a little yard work, and the little
gun is still in my pocket as I type. Pretty nice set-up, IMHO. I have
a feeling that next summer is going to be a little more comfortable.
Draw Instruction for the
Pocket Grabber:
- Grasp gun in pocket.
- Press gun and holster against pant
leg.
- At this point, the rubber exterior
will grasp the pocket (it doesn't have a choice) and if you keep
pulling, the gun will come out of the holster. The holster
should not move upwards more then an inch. If it does you are
not pressing hard enough or the holster has to break in. This product
was tested to work this way.
Of course, it is slower than from a Kydex IWB, but that is
more than off-set by the convenience. I belong to the school that says
if you're depending upon the speed of your draw-stroke to save your
bacon . . . you're just not paying attention. |
