American Handgunner Jul/Aug 1981 - Jeffersonian

loosened, the bottom end of the welt is
pressed further into the holster and the
screw is tightened to hold the welt in its
new position. This works best when the
holster is empty. With more welt inside the
holster pouch, there is less room for the
muzzle end ofthe slide, making the holster
fit tighter. One advantage of this system is
that the gun need only be drawn upward
approximately one inch to clear the tension
area of the holster.
In the Security holster, Ted has replaced
the tension welt with two large rubber
washers, with the adjustment screw passing
through them. The bottom edge of the
gun muzzle rests against the washers.
When the tension screw is tightened, the
washers grow in diameter and press harder
on the bottom of the slide.
Of the two holsters tested, I personally
prefer the Security with the tension device.
Worn on a heavy B4 inch trousers belt and
positioned just behind the right hip, it is
very comfortable and secure. As all pancakes,
these ride high and close, adding to
their comfort. The FBI angle adds to the
drawing ease when the gun sets this high,
and the cocked and locked .45 auto is instantly
ready. The lack of a thumb break
makes this beautiful holster idiot proof.
Shortly after receiving these holsters I
was to shoot in the first annual Soldier of
Fortune Combat Match. This included
handgun, riot gun and assa ult rifle
matches with the shooter required to wear
the sidearm in all three matches. This was
an ideal chance to test the new Security
holster under actual competition conditions.
While the shooter didn't perform as
well as I had hoped, the holster came
through with flying colors.
I unhesitatingly recommend the Teflon
lined Bodyguard and Security holsters, as
made by Ted Blocker's Custom IIIIIIM-
Holsters. ~

A ripple this writer sees growing into a
wave is the re-introduction of the ultracompact
.38 Special service revolver. In
effect a small-frame .38 belly gun with 4"
barrel and manageable-size grips, the
compact service revolver may well take us
back to the Thirties when the original Colt
Police 'Positive was the choice of many
departments that wanted to combine .38
Special firepower with a gun that was easy
to carryon the Sam Browne belt, and off
duty.
When it comes right down to it, the
choice of an issue police gun isn't really
predicated on whether the officer patrols
the rural roads or the city streets. A four-
